The Secret Garden

4 Angel Gate, GU1 4AE, Guildford

Located in the heart of Guildford (opposite Coffee Culture in Angel Gate) we are proud to open our doors to you all!

At The Secret Garden we specialise in hand-tied bouquets with flowers that can be made to order for any occasion. We also have wonderful potted indoor and outdoor plants that can make your house feel like a home.

Bespoke and unique gifts are also something we sell and they are all simply gorgeous. From big items for your home to make a ‘wow’ statement or to the smaller but equally as fabulous ornaments and ‘little bits’ that you simply did not know you had to have!

Negative experience: I found the staff to be quite rude and unaccommodating. I went in to buy flowers 10 minutes before closing time and was refused anything else other than pre-arranged bouquets. Ended up with a bouquet of all roses which didn't even had the thorns trimmed out of them.

Fantastic experience: Just beautiful! The shop itself is lovely and the owner is so welcoming every time I pop in. I was also recently gifted a bouquet from here by my partner to celebrate our anniversary and the flowers were absolutely stunning. The delivery man was also really pleasant and friendly, which made all the difference and created a really personal service. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I had the most gorgeous experience ordering some flowers with Angela. I was sending sympathy flowers to a friend, I chatted with Angela on the phone and she was just so lovely, helpful and really made the process choosing something for a sad occasion a joy. We worked together to a budget, and colours and she was so considerate through the full process, truly an expert in what she does. Will definitely keep in mind and HIGHLY recommend. Its also a nice reminder of why you should shop small and local <3 thank you Angela, she loves the flowers and sent me a picture.

Positive experience: I ordered some flowers for my sister i law in the week to be delivered in Guildford. The flowers were beautiful but unfortunately the writing on the card was so poor she didnt know who they were from. I had to ring her the next day to make sure she’d received them which i found was a little bit embarrassing.

Fantastic experience: We bought my sister a special bunch for a big birthday this week. Not only is Angela a lovely lady, great to talk to, she delivers exactly what you hope for. I gave an amount I wanted to spend and she worked her magic. Got a WhatsApp from my sister saying they are "The most incredibly, incredibly beautiful flowers" she has EVER seen. Thank you Angela!!

I really don’t think so I was asked for certain flowers which were out of season and you didn’t seem to accept the fact I had lots of other seasonal flowers to offer you but you weren’t interested and in fact you were very impolite to me

Maria Vasileva Published on Google 1 year ago

Negative experience: I ordered flowers for my partner’s graduation a week before. I was told they will be ready for 9am on the day since I needed them for a 10am ceremony. When I came to pick up my order, the florist said they aren’t ready since I hadn’t told her I’d need them that early. She made up a bouquet on the spot, which was okay but not worth the £45 I’d paid.

The Secret Garden
The Secret Garden

Hi Maria sorry you feel like that but I was here for you to say you weren’t happy in fab you said they were lovely? So a bit confusing to be fair
The bouquet was worth £45
It’s a shame you weren’t honest at the time about how you felt

Rosy Howell Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Could not be happier with the flowers Angela and her team put together for my wedding. Angela was so kind and helpful - especially as I don't know very much about flowers and am quite indecisive. From start to finish it was a pleasure working with her and the end result was even better than I thought.

Ragnar Lothbrok Published on Google 3 years ago

Negative experience: I showed up 15 mins before closing, and the woman working in the shop refused to make up a nice hand tied bouquet for me. Not to mention I had tried calling the shop EVEN EARLIER, to save us time and have it finished in no time. Nobody answered the phone, and Upon arrival, nobody was in the shop, with the closed sign on the door 15 mins before closing time, stated both online and on the doors. It was New Year’s Eve, you dropped all notions of professionalism, we’re absent when you shouldn’t have been, refused me your services for my pregnant girlfriend and said I just had to buy one of the bouquets by the door. Very few in number, very very overpriced, and very low quality, workmanship, variety and effort put into them. Will never be returning in my life, and will be going well out of my way to ensure nobody I know visits either. Sometimes one visit really is all it takes. Unforgettable experience, never been to a florist THIS badly run. Shameful.

Fantastic experience: I recently bought my new houseplant from this store and I will definitely be back to shop again here. The customer service was top standard and I was given great care information for the specific houseplant that I bought. The Secret Garden is the best store that I've bought a houseplant from and I highly recommend this store to anyone in Surrey looking to purchase a plant.

Fantastic experience: I went into The Secret Garden this afternoon on my lunch break with no idea what I was looking for (and it was also my first time in a florist!). The shop owner was so friendly and helpful, she helped me put together a beautiful bunch of flowers within my price range. I'll definitely be going back!

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t wish for a better florist to handle my wedding flowers! Angela has been hands on with all my needs and Kate has been really helpful from the start. Even though we contacted them near the event, they have been very flexible and understanding, even helping us with our flower choices so as not to strain our budget too much! Very much recommended!

Frankie Stapleton Published on Google 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: I live in Hawaii, with family in Guildford and found The Secret Garden online after a ridiculous experience with a U.S. floral service. Contacting the shop by email (very quick response), The Secret Garden created beautiful bouquets incorporating my specific requests and delivered them to my family's homes. So kind and helpful, such talented florists!
