At the heart of the business is the shop, featuring a wide assortment of flowers. In addition to fresh cut flowers, this includes a varied selection of silk flowers, and naturally, vases and other decorative items.

Bouquets can also be ordered via the website and subsequently delivered to the client by the in-house delivery service.
The company has a loyal customer base in both the B2B and B2C segments. Contracts have been concluded with various SMEs for the weekly delivery of fresh flowers.
The company is located in an easily accessible rented retail property with a spacious storage area behind it and has its own parking space. The property is rented.
