The Story
Robin Lavery was a freelance horticulturalist and studied the science behind plants. Bobby Darling was a freelance florist who had worked in several flower shops. In 2016 someone introduced them. They connected really well and realized the potential of bringing the science of horticulture and the art of floral arranging together to create a botanical business unlike any other.
Many questioned their decision to set up shop at their spot on Richmond Row. After all, many shops had tried and many had failed. Instead, what Robin and Bobby found is that their location brought in a diverse clientele. People loved the magical forest feeling that their shop created and found that the unparalleled customer service and attention to detail made it the go-to place for all things plant-related.
Since then Grow & Bloom has become a staple for Londoners looking for plants and unique gifts!
