The Lily Pad at Five Valleys Stroud

The Lily Pad at Five Valleys Stroud

 When the owner of The Lily Pad Florist, Gemma, took a break from her career in childcare to go travelling around South East Asia, it wasn't the ornate temples that she fell in love with.

Time and time again she found her camera lens wasn't focussing on the temples, but the tropical flowers in front of them.

Gemma's fascination in the beauty of the flowers led her to the decision to complete a City and Guild course in Floristry at Bath College.

10 years on, having arranged flowers for royalty and celebrities, and worked on weddings from Dorset to the Peak District, Gemma's love for flowers remains as strong as ever.

She delights in putting her care and creativity in to every wedding, funeral and hand-tied bouquet, to allow her customers to express their love through flowers.
