Testimonials and Reviews
We pride ourselves on our customer service, here are some Black Shed reviews
"Wow!!! 10/10 to this fabulous company - amazing customer service, very helpful and friendly, delivered my order the same day (despite receiving it after 1pm). Beautiful vibrant flowers and a stunning bouquet. Highly recommended. Big thanks to all."
"Fabulous flowers from fabulous (and ridiculously hard working) folks!"
"I emailed Black Shed after the death of my aunt and the reply was almost immediate. Paul and Helen offer an amazing service, they sent photos of their funeral arrangements and sprays, etc and after a very lovely friendly conversation with Paul, my aunt was laid to rest with the most beautiful hand-picked bouquets. I can highly recommend Black Shed Flowers and will definitely be using them for all future needs. Thank you Paul and Helen, fantastic service."
"Wonderful, inspirational place run by fantastic people who care about the environment and promote biodiversity. Make the time to accompany Helen as she picks flowers to arrange in a bouquet and I promise that you will feel uplifted and happy as you leave with flowers in your arms. I am never buying flowers from anywhere else. "
"My flowers for my wedding were absolutely stunning, everyone has complimented them. They were exactly what I wanted and great value for money. Very friendly staff overall I would highly recommend them. Thank you x"
"What a simply super idea.. Pop along and cut your own flowers, nothing like freshly cut flowers and even better when you cut them yourselves."

"I would like to thank Helen and Paul for my beautiful bouquet. They were sent to me by my sister Annette for helping her with work on her house and also having injured my back in my own house so they really cheered me up.
