Liverpool florist Booker Flowers & Gifts crowned one of the UK’s best

Local Liverpool florist Booker Flowers & Gifts is coming up roses after being accepted as a full member of the exclusive Good Florist Guide, the gold standard of floristry and the only merit-based guide in the world to the finest florists.

Acknowledged as the ‘little black book’ of the very best British and Irish Booker Flowers & Gifts were awarded the prestigious accolade by the Guide’s Advisory Panel last month. Owner Gemma Wakerley and the team are very delighted with the award.

You see, unlike any other directory of florists, no-one can just buy their way in to the Guide. To be part of it, florists undergo a rigorous evaluation process before being approved and invited to join. Booker Flowers & Gifts submitted a detailed description of their floristry business, including the range available and services offered as well as images of their business premises, their design work, their team and even the delivery vehicle! It was then assessed by industry experts to ensure it met the strict criteria of not just offering gorgeous designs, but also the best service and value for bespoke floristry and flowers.

Commenting on their success Gemma Wakerley of Booker Flowers & Gifts said, ‘We are delighted to be accepted into the Good Florist Guide. We are passionate about flowers, design, quality and the service we give to each of our customers, so it is wonderful to have this recognised.

Gemma Wakerley continued:

“What’s special about our business is that we provide beautiful flowers that do not cost the earth. We are committed to being eco-friendly, community-minded and buying responsibly is part of what we do.’

Caroline Marshall-Foster, Editor of industry bible The Florist Magazine, and founder of Good Florist Guide set it up as a way to ensure customers always receive top quality floristry from businesses that value excellent customer service.

Caroline said: “You can buy flowers virtually anywhere these days. But nothing really beats the experience of receiving fabulous flowers from a truly bespoke florist and without it costing an arm or a leg. The Good Florist Guide is my way of sharing all that is good about floristry. It allows consumers to know that the florist they use is able and willing to go the extra mile and make all their purchases, big or small, truly special.”
