Acanthus is a pretty florist and home accessories shop in the ancient town of Shaftesbury in Dorset selling a fantastic range of fresh flowers with posies from 10.00 and luxurious bespoke bouquets from 35.00. Genna aims to provide a friendly, quality service using more unusual flowers and colours than you might see elsewhere. Artistic wrapping and lovely finishing touches turn pretty bunches of fl
owers into extra special gifts. A ‘fill your own container’ service is provided whereby you can bring in a container to be filled with flowers and collected later; ideal for those not confident in their flower arranging abilities! Local and national deliveries are available and of course flowers for funerals, weddings and events. The shop also stocks an eclectic range of home accessories, glass, metal and stone pots and vases. Decorative pieces in subtle, earthy hues line the shelves whilst a rainbow of coloured glass catches the light. Most of the goods have been fairly traded with artisan makers here in the UK and world wide who use traditional craft skills and eco friendly materials. Towards the back of the shop there is a mezzanine area housing a pretty selection of country cottage inspired accessories, soft furnishings and vintage pieces alongside the best in artificial flowers. Beyond this there is the garden room filled with everything for outdoors from pots to huge mirrors and a fantastic selection of artificial flowers that look anything but!
