Testimonials

Don’t just take our word for it. Check out what some of our members have had to say about what joining the Good Florist Guide did for them.

"...[Joining GFG] gave me the impetus to completely re-design my (embarrassing) website, get professional photos done, organise an online shop, and generally sharpen up our act before submitting our application.

It was quite daunting back then - and still is today - to look at some of the more illustrious and famous members of GFG. It's so easy to be overwhelmed by thoughts of "I'm not worthy to be in this group", even more so as someone with no formal recognised training... However, I have to say that GFG membership is very inclusive and acknowledges that florist businesses come in all shapes, sizes and guises. I absolutely love that GFG actually monitors the standards of its members and it really stands out as the only organisation in the UK that does so - that's GFG's BIG USP!!

I've attended two GFE events, and just booked my third. These are amazing opportunities to make new floral friends, share ideas and experiences, have fun - and learn loads! Can't recommend it highly enough. Each time, I'm completely blown away by the generosity of others to share their expertise and knowledge with us mere mortals.

"The best thing about The Good Florist Guide are the people (Okay displaying the badge on the door and the certificate on the wall is pretty awesome too) but the people are who really make it!

We've gained so much confidence in our business and ourselves from getting to know fellow florists from across all different areas of the UK. Knowing there are florists who we can talk to (who understand where you're coming from) whether it be online or at the Good Florist Guide events to share ideas, experiences and inspiration as well as learn from makes us feel a little less alone in the ever changing world of flowers.

Caroline along with her wonderfully friendly and approachable team made us feel very welcome the moment we applied - as well as at the GFG events in person. Good Florist Guide has offered us opportunities we would have otherwise missed and has given us invaluable knowledge to help make us & our shop be our very best to stand out against the rest!"

"Receiving accreditation from the Good Florist Guide has been a bonus to us because we display it prominently through the business which has opened up conversations with customers who are interested in the background and the ethos behind the work of the Good Florist Guide.

I have found it gives customers peace of mind when choosing to use us and spreading the word is also giving my customers the opportunity to experience the work of other great florists through the country knowing that they will be in safe hands whilst championing independent florists – which is always a great thing!"

"Being part of the Good Florist Guide is one of those things I’ve wanted for a very long time and now I am part of it I feel part of a very special group of people, the best of the best so to speak and can only feel honoured to be a member now. The events that they put on are amazing and the work that goes into them is astounding.

I’m only at the start of my journey with GFG and cannot wait to see how myself and the business develops and grows in the future."

I love the Zoom Rooms, hearing everyone’s thoughts and realising you’re not on your own is the biggest thing for me and the ideas are always fantastic!
