About Us

Flowersmiths is a boutique florist, plant and gift shop situated in the historic town of Horwich on the border of Lancashire and Greater Manchester.  Established in 2013 by experienced florist Maxine Smith, Flowersmiths has been providing the local area with beautiful blooms for over a decade.

Maxine has been a florist since 2007 when she started as a trainee in a flower shop.  After working there for 5 years, she moved onto managing a Manchester city centre florist, but with dreams of owning her own shop, she bought an existing floristry business in 2013 and Flowersmiths was born!

Karen has been working at 97 Lee Lane since before Flowersmiths was created, after completing a college course in floristry.  With over 18 years floristry experience, Karen has been involved with Flowersmiths since the very beginning and has played a big part in the Flowersmiths journey.

Marcia is our newest recruit, joining the Flowersmiths team in 2021.  After completing a one year course in floristry, she joined the team as a trainee and has been growing in confidence and experience ever since.

And not forgetting our most important team member - Harry the shop dog!  Our furriest and most admired member of staff, Harry brings a smile to everyone who meets him in the shop!

Alongside our shop staff, we have two regular delivery drivers, Alan and Donna, who spread joy all around Horwich and the surrounding areas with our beautiful flower deliveries!
