Turns out the 93 now stops for peonies.

No bus stops were actually booked in the making of this advert.

Yet.

Tulip season is nearly over… and Tasha isn’t ready to let go 🌷

Arms full, shoulders doing the heavy lifting, and still going back for more. These deep red tulips - rich, velvety, almost like a good claret - alongside those beautifully fringed heads… it’s a bit of a last hurrah.

They only come like this for a short window - soft, generous, a little wild - and then they’re gone.

A few days left at most, we think. If you’ve been thinking about tulips, now’s the moment.

There is something quietly powerful about seeing where things return to.

Today we visited the Shorts Group green waste site with .uk – following the full journey of our floral waste, from armfuls of stems and faded blooms to rich, living compost.

It’s not glamorous, but it is deeply reassuring. Piles gently steaming, carefully turned, monitored, and nurtured – a process that mirrors nature itself. Nothing rushed. Nothing wasted.

To witness that level of care, intention, and respect for materials was genuinely inspiring. What leaves our shop at the end of its life doesn’t end there – it’s transformed, restored, and returned to the soil.

This is what a true closed loop looks like.
And it matters.

A heartfelt thank you to COM:POST and Shorts Group for showing us the detail, the discipline, and the belief behind it all. It’s partnerships like this that allow us to keep building a more thoughtful, sustainable way of working – one stem at a time.

Mother’s Day weekend is almost here and the shop is starting to feel properly spring-like.

Hellebores, ranunculus, tulips, clematis and blossom – buckets of beautiful stems arriving each morning and the whole place smelling incredible.

If flowers for Mum are on your list, we’re here all week and the shop will be absolutely bursting with flowers right through the weekend.

Pop in and choose your favourite, or send a little piece of Gardenia anywhere in the UK.

It’s going to be a lovely one. 🌸

Valentine’s week in the shop 🌹

Fresh roses arriving daily, cards being handwritten, and Lucy and the team in their element - creating beautiful bouquets with real care.

Flowers are heading out across Wimbledon Village, SW London, and beyond, marking small but meaningful moments.

If you’re still planning to send flowers this Valentine’s Day, now is a good moment to choose. Delivery slots are kept intentionally limited so everything leaves the shop looking just right.

Shop the collection via the link in bio.

Thoughtful Valentine’s Roses 🌹

Every February, roses come with questions – about sourcing, sustainability, and footprint.

At Gardenia, we don’t shy away from that conversation.
Flowers are a luxury, and they should be chosen with care.

This year, our red roses come from Porta Nova, a leading Dutch grower of the iconic Red Naomi rose – widely recognised as one of the most responsibly grown red roses available today.

Porta Nova combine extraordinary beauty with serious environmental commitment – modern greenhouses, rainwater recycling, energy-saving systems, and even renewable wind energy as part of their growing process.

Velvety, deep red, beautifully long-lasting…
and grown with some of the highest sustainability standards in the industry.

Valentine’s should feel special – and thoughtful too.
