I'm Helen, owner of Bits and Buds florist in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire. I've been in the flower game for the best part of 20 years and love love love designing and making flowers for you. No matter the occasion 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. 

Bits and Buds always create 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.

I'm conscientious of the impact of my work on the environment and by no means am I a saint but I try where I can. We don't use floral foam meaning no nasty plastics in our landfills and our bouquets have minimal packaging. They're beautifully presented in stylish paper wraps, optional bio degradable boxes with recyclable water liners and all finished off with pretty ribbon trails. We let the flowers do the talking not heaps of plastic packaging.

Flowers are a part of my life, I simply can't be without them. I say good morning and ask after them all when I open up every day and when you ask me to help flower your worlds or want to join in on workshops, 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 honorary Budder!
