While we will still be able to source the flowers there may be an impact on prices. “There are a lot of florists in Bury itself so I think being here in Fornham I am close enough to the town but have the added bonus of easy parking. People like to be able to come into the shop and see the flowers.” Julia has a Facebook page and she can be contacted via What the Fleur through Messenger, Her website for The Fleur at Fornham is currently under construction. The shop opens Tuesday to Friday 10am to 6pm and Saturdays 9am to 4pm. Call 01284 706729.
