My name is Louise Brumpton and I am a Plymouth girl, married to a
Yorkshireman. We have a son called Oliver and a cat called Sam.

I started The Secret Garden in 2007 as a way of being able
to offer beautiful flowers, original designs and a personal
consultation service at prices accessible to everyone.

I have had a lifelong interest in flowers and plants, with some of my
earliest memories being helping my nan to plant flowers in her garden.
I still remember telling her, as a child, that the pink roses smelled of
strawberries and the yellow ones smelled of bananas!

Flowers and plants are still a huge part of my life, now that I am a mum.
My three-year-old already shows promise, probably due to the amount
of time we have clocked up at The Eden Project in Cornwall!

As a florist, I believe that flowers and foliage are at their most elegant
when enjoyed in their natural state. I like my arrangements to look
elegant and stylish and hope that my customers agree that they do.

I believe that buying flowers should be a personal experience.
Flowers are an expression of emotion, and this should be reflected
in your purchase. I prefer to help each customer create their ideal
arrangement based on their individual budget and requirements.

I deliver free in the Plymouth area 7 days a week, because people still
have birthdays on Sundays, and I am always free for help and advice.

I have now decided to turn my passion into my career and these days
you can find me at my workshop in The House That Jack Built
on the Barbican, where you will receive a warm welcome.
