Find the perfect florist for any occasion

Hello! I’m Rach and I’m the face behind The Flower Bee. I took the plunge in to the world of Floristry in 2016, when I took a couple of weeks off from my Accountancy job to attend Flower School Glasgow, and haven’t looked back since. From 2016 until the end of 2018 I worked for a local florist, which helped me find my feet, and pushed me out of my comfort zone several times. In March 2019, The Flower Bee opened its doors for the first time. I never planned on running my own business so soon, but I would never look back. I love being my own boss more than I ever thought I would, choosing the florals every week, making decisions on which gift stock to order, and being the point of contact for all my lovely customers. I enjoy all aspects of the job, from the ordering to the sweeping up. From putting together a lovely bridal bouquet, to designing someone’s final farewell flowers. I love the challenge of something new, so don’t be afraid to let me know any ideas you have. I’m so lucky to run a business that brings so much happiness to people on a daily basis and doubly lucky to be living my own wee flowery dream.

My name is Tracy Goodman, owner and creator of Plantation Florist. Since opening in 1995 we have developed the business to stay on top of trends and showcasing new lines, whilst keeping a steady flow of best selling hand tied bouquets in the shop every day. Buying from Holland 3 times per week means that we have fresh flower and plant selection of 50 plus varieties of all colours at any one time, therefore catering for English Garden bouquet, through to tropical deluxe or simply a single flower, alongside Vases, Chocolates, Helium Balloons, Soft Toys and Ceramics. Over the years we have become very well known for our unusual funeral tributes ranging from the Starship enterprise to a 3D fully light up helter skelter! Our empathy and customer service has brought families back again and again to us, creating a family, friendly customer base returning for happier events such as weddings and births. Corporate work is an important part of our daily delivery, car showrooms, offices, schools, private hospitals all have vases and bouquets delivered daily around Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud and outlying villages. Our website and social media presence plays a key role in new products and latest updates, wedding pictures and competitions.
