Where to buy flowers for Mother's Day in Canterbury?

“If you can’t say it with words, say it with flowers!” Flowers are the most traditional and simple way to say to someone “I love you”. In fact, back in the days, they were used to pass coded messages to share your feelings. Today, red roses are still a standard for Valentines Day, while white flowers are the usual pick for a wedding and soft pink carnations for Mother’s Day. 

Here is our list of our best shops to buy flowers in Canterbury for Mother’s Day.
