My love of flowers started at a very young age. A fascination with the fuchsia buds in the front garden of my childhood home sticks in my memory, as does admiring the gorgeous dahlias that my Grandad grew on his allotment. Fast forward to secondary school, and an eager, bright-eyed 13-year-old Hannah takes on the Duke of Edinburgh, which involved learning lots of new skills. With my Mum in tow, I joined a flower evening class. It was so much fun, and truly cemented my love of blooms.

Determined to make a life for myself surrounded by beautiful florals, I left school at 16 to study floristry full time. I completed a work experience placement at a fabulous Plymouth florist, which went rather well as I ended up working there for 10 years! With a decade of experience under my belt, fate stepped in to give me a push out of my comfort zone when the shop sold to new owners. I took a huge, exciting leap and decided to set up on my own.

Thanks to hard work, dedication, help from loved ones and lots of lovely customers, business soon took off. In 2016, I bought the fantastic studio in the north of Plymouth that you can visit me in today. And the celebratory moments kept coming: in 2017, we won a South West Wedding Award and were crowned Best Devon Florist in 2018! Since Hannah Burnett Floristy was born, we have carefully and lovingly created over 300 different flower arrangements for a range of destinations: weddings, sympathy, workplaces, events, everyday bouquets and gifts. Our studio space also allows us to hold workshops, and whether it’s for a hen party or a wreath-making workshop, we absolutely love having you.

I feel very lucky to have so many fabulous customers who have followed me throughout my florist career. We reflect on our long list of happy customers and glowing testimonials with pride, and are fuelled with excitement every day to get started on a fresh new project.

So, what are you waiting for? Let’s talk flowers!
