About Freddie's Flowers
Freddie’s Flowers is a fast-growing direct-to-consumer flower business based in the UK and Germany. It all started with Freddie Garland delivering weekly flowers to his Mum & Dad’s neighbours back in 2015 in a knackered old milk float. Our wonderful team is now delivering thousands of boxes every day, but Freddie’s original idea hasn’t changed - to change people’s relationship with flowers. We want to bring the happiness and joy of arranging and experiencing your own flowers into everyone’s home, and in a way that has as little environmental impact as possible - we’re now a B Corp certified, proving that our love for flowers goes hand-in-hand with our love for the planet. The secret to our success is: We love what we do and we know what the plan is. We work hard to do it brilliantly. We have fun working together.
