💐 There’s no such thing as a bad day for flowers…

And there’s something even better about picking them up from an independent florist in the heart of the city.

Florist of Lichfield has been part of our high street for more than 40 years, creating beautiful bouquets and arrangements by hand from its shop on Tamworth Street.

It’s one of the many brilliant independents that gives Lichfield its character – businesses with their own stories, skilled people behind them and the kind of personal service that makes shopping locally feel special.

So next time you’re wandering through the city, take a little time to explore beyond the big names. Pop into our independents, meet the people behind them and discover just how much there is to love locally. ❤️
