The Secret Garden Flower Shop: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Amazing service and beautiful flowers! Great customer service!
Fantastic experience: We passed this beautiful florist today while my 5 year old daughter was quite upset. The wonderful lady saw her crying in the street, popped outside and inside managed to make her smile with her kindness and empathy. We were able to see what a beautiful little florist this is with a wide range of flowers and even Jellycats. Will definitely be visiting again when in Preston. Thank you ❤️
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend, never fails to produce outstanding bouquets and displays
Fantastic experience: Absolutely lovely flowers placed an order over the phone and the bouquet was just perfect thanks so much xxxx
Fantastic experience: Absolutely beautiful hand tied bouquet. The flowers smell wonderful, very impressive. The Owner was very helpful. Very reasonably priced without sacrificing perfection. Beats any supermarket
Fantastic experience: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Such a gorgeous little shop! The Secret Garden is an absolute gem—full of charm and lovely finds. Joan is an absolute delight and makes every visit feel so warm and welcoming. They have a wonderful selection of the most beautiful blooms, also Jelly cats. It made my daughter so happy visiting here on Saturday. A truly special place I’d recommend to anyone!
Negative experience: I really don’t like leaving negative reviews, especially for a small local business, but this experience was disappointing. I bought a plant pot with orchids and other flowers, and within a week everything had died, all the leaves fell off the orchid — despite not watering it further at all. When I checked the plant, the roots were rotting, so it was likely already in poor condition when sold. When I went back for advice, I was met with rudeness and a lecture instead of any help. Because of how I was treated, I won’t be returning and wouldn’t recommend.
Fantastic experience: Very nice ppl I would recommend them to anyone to use for flowers x
Fantastic experience: The secret garden were very helpful in preparing a beautiful red rose bouquet at very short notice. The lady on the phone was friendly, patient and offered good advice. The bouquet was made with such gorgeous red roses and tied and presented beautifully. Thank you so so much
Fantastic experience: Joan has been wonderful helping to create a tropical floral tribute for my late Mum. My Mum loved foreign holidays and Joan was so lovely and helpful when creating a fitting tribute to her. She even managed to get me some Birds of Paradise - we really appreciated that. The flowers looked and smelled absolutely beautiful - Thanks so much Joan. Karen and family
Fantastic experience: The lady who owned the shop was really polite and managed to handcraft a bouquet that matched the needed aesthetic in the correct budget. Would shop from there again x
Fantastic experience: Came here at short notice to get some flowers for a wedding. The lady managed to handmake 3 bunches in 10 minutes and they were really nice and well priced.
Fantastic experience: Lady in there was very informative and polite, prices were great, amazing shop.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely beautiful hand-tied bouquets. I ordered a few small bouquets and was thoroughly impressed by the quality and care that was put into creating them. Would highly recommend and will be ordering from them again in the future!
Fantastic experience: Nice looking with reasonable price....we are happy with it
Negative experience: Bien
Fantastic experience: Bethany and Joan made the most beautiful dried flower Bouquets and Boutonnieres for my wedding celebration earlier this year. The bridal party and our guest all commented on how amazing they looked on the day. They were just perfect and I cannot thank them both enough. Bethany listened to my ideas for the creations and they came out even better than I had imagined. They will last for a long time so I get to keep enjoying them and remembering the day every time I look at them. Thank you both the service was seamless and I was kept up to date all the way up to collection.
Fantastic experience: The flower display Joan made for our friend Barbaras 80th Birthday were absolutely beautiful. Thank you Joan she was thrilled with them
Fantastic experience: Rang Secret Garden to order flowers for a friend , Joan was really helpful and was very flexible as I didn't know when my friend would be home from hospital. I rang again and Joan was helpful and the flowers are amazing, turns out it my friends favourite florist, as I'm in Manchester I didn't know this. Great service, very unusual flowers absolutely stunning, thank you so much. James
Fantastic experience: Had the loveliest time at this store! If you want to cheer yourself up with some flowers or a plant, come here!!! I’m enjoying my peonies every day! Thank you! Xx
Negative experience: Awful flower shop and really rude workers, especially Joan. I placed an order for my anniversary, the bouquet was ugly and the colours of the flowers did not look good together. I rang the shop to let them know I wasn’t happy with the arrangement and asked if there was anything they could do. I spoke to Joan and she said no and was unwilling to help, despite having an unhappy customer. Joan was incredibly rude, condescending, disrespectful and abrupt. Don’t bother ordering flowers from here, Margaret Mason all the way!
Fantastic experience: Just received some beautiful flowers from a friend for our 50th anniversary they are amazing
Fantastic experience: Recently bought some flowers for someone of the value of about £40 from another florist which I won’t name. Let’s just say they weren’t a patch on the flowers I just received from my mum, who paid a similar price at The Secret Garden. They are absolutely beautiful. I will be using this place in the future whenever I buy flowers! 100% recommend.
Fantastic experience: Never disappoint, always excellent.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service very friendly staff beautiful displays
Fantastic experience: Been using them for years absolutely wonderful service and alway getting flowers that last for ages would 100% recommend them for any occasion and reasonably priced
Negative experience: Incredibly rude and abrupt staff unfortunately
Fantastic experience: Thank you so much ! I have received the most beautiful bouquet of flowers I have ever seen from Secret Garden. Truly amazing artistic talent. The best florist ever !
Fantastic experience: A big thank you to Joan and family at The Secret Garden for another perfect arrangement of the best fresh flowers . I have been a customer for over 30yrs and not once have I been less than delighted with my purchase .
Fantastic experience: Excellent service and the staff are always to happy to help.
Negative experience: If i could give zero stars I would. The owner who has white hair, is horrendously rude and abrupt, this is the second time I have tried to support a local business, I wanted to purchase eucalyptus leaf for my sisters flowers for her funeral. I was told I had to buy i bunch at £15 which I did not need, I also tried to purchase cut flower plant food, which I was given a mini lecture over and sent elsewhere. I highly recommend Preston flowers on Meadow street in Preston. Who were hugly helpful in contrast to the poor customer service is received here at The secret garden. Unfortunately businesses like this will not be around much longer, given the current economic crisis and I take pride in trying to shop local
Negative experience: 70 pounds for them .. not happy not even the right name
Fantastic experience: Lovely place and service with fab displays
Fantastic experience: Me & my mum went in as the shop next door recommended us to visit, loveliest experience ever! The lady who served us was so unbelievably friendly, funny and talkative, I honestly thought about how lovely she was for hours afterwards! The customer service was 10/10 and we left feeling so happy, thank you!!!
Fantastic experience: A store full of fresh and vibrant flowers, my go to place for any occasion!
Fantastic experience: A wonderful florist with excellent customer service. I visited to order some roses and the florist created a beautiful fragrant bouquet that were perfect and exactly how I wanted it. I was impressed by the quality and will definitely visit again.by sure one of the best in Preston.
Fantastic experience: Simply the best. Beautiful flowers, a wonderful florist and excellent customer service. I popped in and asked for two posies to give to close friends who I was meeting for lunch. Within ten minutes the florist created two beautiful posies which were perfect for the people I'd described. The bouquets looked wonderful and they smelt delightful. Thank you. I wish I lived in Lancashire could visit more regularly. You really are the best.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend the secret garden flower shop. The service I received was very caring and compassionate and they went above and beyond to prepare personalised displays I ordered for a private ceremony. The owner is lovely and made sure everything was arranged and sorted so I didn't need to worry and the displays were so beautiful. Thanks so much !
Fantastic experience: what a little goldmine ! have used the secret garden on numerous occasions and always appreciated them going above and beyond the call of duty each time that and the warm customer service is a rare find these days. attention to details is their trademark so wonderful to have a real quality independent florist on our doorstep.
Negative experience: The lady with the white hair was really rude to me. I am autistic and she made me cry when I came out of the shop it was a horrible experience
Negative experience: If I could put zero stars I would. The customer service was horrendous. The woman was incredibly rude and unprofessional to both my friend and I. It’s not the first time she’s been like that either. Every time I had been in her attitude has been appalling, which is such a shame because it could be a lovely place. I do not recommend that anyone shop there.
Fantastic experience: This is the second time I have ordered flowers from secret garden and each time they have been absolutely beautiful and reasonably priced. The second bouquet they even delivered to the hospital ward so I could give them to my visitor (patients aren’t allowed flowers) and they arrived same day and within a couple of hours. I can’t recommend them highly enough.
Fantastic experience: My son & daughter bought me these beautiful flowers for Mother’s Day. They are absolutely amazing. One very happy mum.
Fantastic experience: Super friendly and bouquets always look brilliant!

Fantastic experience: My husband and I went to the shop to get some cacti. The owner of the shop was really friendly. We were curious about some things we saw in the shop and the lady was so kind to explain their origins. Highly recommend as its rare to find such a personalised touch these days.
Fantastic experience: Definitely this shop and the staff and,the owners deserve a 5 star feedback, because they are very good at what they do and the customer service is their top priority and last but no least the bouquet which I bought today for my mother was so beautifully made I have no words, I made the day so special for my mother and the Secret garden flower shop contributed for this special occasion. Thank you definitely I will be back as a costumer. :) Iveta

Fantastic experience: Selection of indoor plants, flowers, jellycat plushies, pots, woodwick candles. Ran by a lovely lady. Packaging all biodegradable. Great shop.
Fantastic experience: The secret flower garden recently did our wedding flowers and we would highly recommend. We gave them some photographs and idea of what our theme was and the flowers they created fitted perfectly with our theme. We could not have been happier with them.
Negative experience: I’ve just experienced the worst customer service at this florist. They treated me as though I was wasting their time and didn’t speak to me nicely or try help. However busy you are, your customers needs should be a priority. Is this really how you treat your paying customers???
Fantastic experience: Nipped in here on my lunch break. Really friendly and helpful staff member and bought some beautiful flowers that looked and smelt lovely! :)
Fantastic experience: My friend sent me a beautiful bunch of colourful flowers for my birthday yesterday and it just made my day! The flowers were from a local florist called The Secret Garden. They made a cute birthday card with a handwritten message to go with the flowers, which were displayed in a box with water and plant feed. Anyone looking for an expectional florist in the Preston area, I would highly recommend them! Thank you The Secret Garden
Fantastic experience: All I can say is.. WOW what a service! My friends father had sadly passed away this morning, I rang up The Secret Garden Flower Shop to place an order at exactly 12:25pm for a bouquet of sympathy flowers, the lady on the phone was so accommodating and helpful as it was so last minute. Ordered and paid straight away of the requested flowers we wanted for my friend. Next thing we know, my friend has messaged only an hour later and the flowers have been delivered already. Absolutely amazing service. Highly recommend and would definitely use again for the Preston Area. Thank you again for your amazing service :) Love Alex x

Fantastic experience: What a beautiful, wonderful place! Have been lucky enough to have received numerous bouquets from Secret Garden now. And bought from them every time I have needed to send flowers to put the biggest smiles on faces or just to say ‘I care’, ‘With Love’, ‘Good Luck’ or ‘Thank you’. Always a pleasure to shop with, helpful, friendly and understanding. Best florist in Lancashire! You must try it, would never be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Amazing family run shop, that always go the extra mile. Would never go anywhere else. The best florist in Lancashire ❤️
Negative experience: £30 Flowers died after 4-5days. Rang up on the fifth day and I was expected to have known as much information as the florist and that each individual flower is different. Despite having spent hundreds of pounds in the past and the flowers lasting weeks. Customer was complaining about the same thing when I collected. The lady was argumentative and offered hardly an apology. I’ll go elsewhere moving forward. An anniversary gift ruined. Unwanted stress caused. She was rude to my work colleagues as well. 0 customer service. Customer is always wrong.
Fantastic experience: Amazing flowers and service, I picked up a lovely Christmas display that lasted weeks!
