A shop that says the price out loud
Fern & Marigold Flowers is a neighbourhood flower shop at 123 this street, TR 12345, where every order is talked through at the counter before it is made.
The shop keeps to a short list of things it does well, from a $28 market bunch to sympathy tributes and wedding flowers, each with its price on the services page. What the growers sent that week is checked first, and if an order needs more than was agreed, it is re-quoted and you decide.
Nothing is added during an order. There is no upsell at the counter, no package, and no charge that appears only on the way out. What was asked for is what is made, unless somebody agreed otherwise first.
Three principles
-
The stems are checked before the price is fixed
What is in the buckets is looked over before a figure is given, and any difference from the posted price is named then, not at the till.
-
The season sets the limit
A flower the market did not bring that week is not promised for that week. An order that has to change is discussed before it is made, not explained after it arrives.
-
No promised result
Fern & Marigold Flowers states what it will do. It makes no claim about how long an arrangement will hold, and it attaches no outcome to a variety.
What a visit looks like
-
Step 1
The stems are read
What the market brought, what is open, and what will still be open on the day.
-
Step 2
The arrangement is chosen
A bouquet, a vase, a tribute or a bunch, or a plain word that none suits this date.
-
Step 3
The price is confirmed
Out loud, before the work starts, including what would change it.
-
Step 4
The flowers go home
With a care card: recut the stems, change the water, keep them out of the sun.
What this shop does not do
Fern & Marigold Flowers is a flower shop and not a nursery or a garden centre. It does not plant, maintain or guarantee living plants in the ground, and it makes no claim about a cut stem beyond how it was conditioned. Large arrangements are made to a date agreed in advance, so the flowers for them are genuinely in the building.
