About Flowers Reading – Our Story, Values & Community

Our Roots: A Local Florist in the Heart of Reading

Flowers Reading began as a single boutique shop nestled on the lively London Street, a stone’s throw from the historic Forbury Gardens and close to the bustling Oracle riverside. Proudly serving as a cornerstone Reading florist for over 15 years, we've watched the community grow—and flourished right alongside it. From tiny bouquets to grand arrangements, every petal and stem has helped us become a trusted name in flowers and Reading flower delivery.

Our Journey: Blossoming in Reading for Over 15 Years

Founded in 2009, Flowers Reading started with a simple mission: to bring joy to our neighbourhood with fresh, beautiful blooms and unrivalled service. We delivered our first bouquet to a home near Caversham Bridge, and it sparked a chain of connections that still thrive today. Over the years, we've expanded our shop, added new delivery vans, and built partnerships with local growers, but our heart remains in Reading’s colourful, close-knit community.

Meet the Flowers Reading Team

At the core of Flowers Reading is a passionate team of florists, each bringing their own style and flower expertise. Many of our florists are Reading locals, with deep roots in places like Tilehurst, Whitley, and Woodley. With industry experience spanning decades among them, our staff carefully handcrafts each arrangement, from classic roses for Valentine’s Day to wild, natural bouquets inspired by a walk along the Thames Path. We believe in professional growth and regularly attend local floral design workshops to stay ahead of the latest trends, guaranteeing you artistry in every order.

Our Mission: More Than Just Flowers

As a florist in Reading, our mission goes beyond creating beautiful bouquets. We aim to infuse joy, comfort, and celebration into every life event, big or small. Whether you’re welcoming a new arrival in Earley, celebrating a birthday near Broad Street, grieving with a friend, or simply making someone’s day brighter, we aspire to make every moment memorable with our flowers and Reading flower delivery services.

Sustainable Practices for a Greener Reading

We care deeply about the environment that nurtures our favourite blooms. Flowers Reading is dedicated to eco-friendly practices across all parts of our business. Whenever possible, we source from local growers in Berkshire and Oxfordshire, cutting down on transport emissions and supporting the region's farms. Our arrangements use minimal, recyclable packaging, and we compost all floral offcuts. By switching to electric delivery vehicles, we're committed to being a florist that compliments Reading’s own green initiatives, helping our town bloom for future generations.

Community Ties That Bind

Flowers Reading isn’t just on the high street—we’re part of the pulse of the town. Every year, we support local events like the Reading Festival, Reading Pride, and the Christmas light switch-on in Broad Street. Our florists provide workshops at venues such as Reading Museum and participate in community projects with local schools in Newtown and Southcote. Through charity donations, hospital deliveries to Royal Berkshire Hospital, and sponsorship of local clubs, we strive to return the support we’ve received from our neighbours over the years.
