Well hi there,
I'm Helen, owner of Bits and Buds in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire. I've been playing this flowery game for over a decade now and love love love designing and making with flowers for you. No matter the occassion I believe that flowers and plants convey a message and make people feel good, cared for and valued, they're magical! Thats why one of the best parts about my job after creating gift bouquets, making up corporate vases, designing your wedding flowers or helping to show elements of a loved one's personality in Sympathy flowers is delivering them to you.
I create my work with honesty and passion using an artistic eye and creativity. I'm a real sucker for texture, fabulous foliage and a punch of colour here and there. I adore all types of flowers from soft romantic blousy ones to big, bold tropical ones. I have a rustic but edgy style offering unexpected combinations and alternative looks to your usual highstreet florist.
With concerns rising for our environment I'm conciencious of the impact of my work. I'm by no means a saint but I try where I can. I use as little floral foam as possible meaning no nasty plastics in our landfills and minimal packaging on your bouquets. They're still beautifully presented but you won't find a ton of cellophane. No big garish poly bows just simple ribbon trails and no glossy boxes or bags, just plain stylish paper wraps. In the end I think the flowers should do the talking, don't you?
Flowers are a part of my life, I simply can't be without them, I tried it once and it didn't last long let me tell you! When I'm away from the blooms for any amount of time including holidays I feel ancy and I simply have to get back to them. I even say good morning and ask after them all when I open up every day. When you ask me to help flower your worlds or want to join in on workshops for you or your children, affectionately dubbed as Little Buds, I get giddy with excitement.
So now you know a bit about me feel free to enjoy the website, join in the journey on Instagram and facebook and become an honourary Budder!
What we do day to day
Bouquets and Floral Gifts
At Bits and Buds we offer a range of specialist bouquets, arrangements and wrapped flowers. Visit our shop to send a thoughtful gift or simply to treat yourself.

Plants
With all of us spending more time at home whilst living in Covid land we've been LOVING enabling all you house plant addicts out there whilst also living the dream browsing and picking the best of the crop each week. Always keeping our eye open for new and exciting plants plus enjoying the old reliables every now and again too.

Dried Flowers
We hold an ever changing stock of dried flowers including dramatic palms, dyed grasses and super cute bunnies tales to match the seasons. Punches of bold colour and you lovers of more natural pallettes are all catered for too.
Workshops
Seasonal workshops are held throughout the year and are always a great fun way to try your hand at something new. Everyone loves playing with flowers and gaining an insight into the skill required by florists to create with flora and fauna. Want to enjoy a workshop in the comfort of your own home or a venue of your choosing, no problemo! We bring everything to you then take away the mess too...well most of it anyway.
