Meet Jo, aka The Alternative Florist.

"After spending 19 years as a teacher, I wanted to follow my dream creating bespoke floristry that lasts a lifetime. I work from home, which is in the Rossendale Valley, Lancashire, England. I am married with two young boys.

For me, there is nothing more rewarding than helping people create memories. When customers order my flowers, I know they are getting unique, sustainable, floristry they can cherish forever.

Their ideas done their way.

It is magical.

Recently, I have even been re-creating memories. A family sent a picture of their mother's bouquet from 1987, and I recreated it for her 35th wedding anniversary. Now, hers to keep forever. What a wonderful gift that was. She was completely delighted!

I love sharing how I work and what I do. Locally I lead creative workshops for families and groups. They learn new skills and get to keep what they make. Again, this gives me great job satisfaction. I think it reminds me of my teaching days. Helping people create memories is perfectly magical in every way.

Flowers make such a difference. They brighten up a room and add colour to any day... the fact that mine can last a lifetime fills me with so much pride.

I love what I do!"

With love - Jo - The Alternative Florist

Notes from the author, Caroline Jane:

People love stories.

If they heard yours, what would it mean to them?

Let us help you find the words.

Business is built on great values, inspiration, and a desire to make life better for everyone who buys your product or uses your services. You will never get the connections that matter by simply placing an advert and telling people what you do.

Let us help you put the story of your business, your world, into words.

When customers connect emotionally with your business, feel part of your vision, share your values, and feel part of your lifestyle, they are more likely to be loyal, make referrals, and repeatedly return.

People buy from people who care, understand them, and want the best for them.

We can help you express how much you care... Help you find the words that matter to others and take your business out to the hearts of your customers.

We humanise your business by sharing your story.

Simply.

Honestly.

Relatably.

For more information about how expert storytelling can help your business, please get in touch at [email protected] or [email protected]

Thank you!
