Established in 2017, Evolve Flowers Ltd is located amongst many commercial sized flower growers in South Lincolnshire, UK. Using as many British flowers as possible Evolves mission is to actively communicate the benefits of using British grown products in everything we do; demonstrations, workshops and events and now has a new team member to help with this - Tiny 2 a customised London Taxi Cab!
We have developed 3 sectors to the business; Florist Studio, Wholesale and Flower School. Our customers say we are ‘more than just a florist! and ‘if you need flowers Evolve is the place!’
FLORIST STUDIO As it best suits our needs we work from a unit on a small farm next door to several of our growers. We often have a POP-UP Shop throughout the year at different events to promote British flowers. Designing creations for all occasions, gift bouquets, weddings, sympathy tributes as well as installations and event flowers. Flowers are always a good idea; indulge a little or a lot! If you need to ‘say it with flowers’ get in touch, you can collect from Donington or Pinchbeck or have them delivered direct. We have a unique, quirky, natural style specialising in eco-methods of floristry. For example most of our gift bouquets are delivered in vases, a complete gift and without the recipient having to dispose of unwanted packaging, we let the flowers take the stage!
WHOLESALE. British grown flowers are delivered Nationwide to the Florist Trade, for DIY weddings and for NAFAS Members. Whether your business is in Scotland or Dorset we deliver Tuesdays to Fridays the freshest products direct from our network of local growers.
FLOWER SCHOOL. Education and fun is at the heart of everything Evolve does with flowers! Whether you want to learn new skills just for fun or develop your career we can show you how. Staff training packages delivered by a qualified tutor. Customer service, sales techniques and merchandising or Eco-floristry techniques and of course all about British grown products. We are always looking for new ways to be more environmentally friendly and create less waste, we can show you how to make a difference.
Environmentally friendly, re-usable, recyclable and handcrafted products are the preferred choice for Evolve to use and promote. Where possible we use locally sourced, British made products in all aspects of the business.
RECENT HIGHLIGHTS...
In 2018 Evolve Flowers Ltd was selected as a finalist in The British Flowers Week Event held at The Garden Museum, Lambeth London. The floral installation; The Spiral Meadow was constructed without any floral foam and used 100% British blooms. It was visited by the Duchess of Cornwall and other VIPs as well as being featured on BBC Breakfast with Helen interviewed by Carol Kirkwood.
2018 also involved another spiral - this time at The Festival of Flowers at Leeds Castle. Helen was invited to design an installation for the spiral staircase around the theme of Ladies Day. This design featured an elegant cast iron bath, sign written with a poem overflowing with a floral waterfall and hiding a rubber duck! (As seen on the header photograph for this page)
