The Nightingale team consists of Kate, Catey, Livvy, Tilly & Pete and a selection of friends, enthusiasts and experts. The team has united together to create something very beautiful in both the heart of Farncombe village and the centre of Godalming.
We started in July 2020 (during the height of the Covid pandemic) when we opened Nightingale Flowers in Farncombe. Our lovely little shop bloomed, and we soon found ourselves out growing the space, this was when we decided it was time to expand! In September 2024 we opened our latest branch- Nightingale Home in the centre of Godalming, right next to the Pepperpot. The team have worked tirelessly to create these two stunning and contemporary shops selling the highest quality flowers as well as unique homewares.
Sharing a passion for the freshest flowers and inspirational design Nightingale has quickly established a reputation for excellence, delivering bespoke arrangements of flowers as unique as the person enjoying them.
We are a contemporary florist shop serving our local community (and beyond with our national delivery) with flowers, plants, gifts and homeware.
We also provide bespoke floristry services for weddings, events and funerals as well as the provision of weekly or subscription flowers to clients. We reached the final 5 of the Muddy Stilettos “best florist in Surrey” awards in our first year of trading and are incredibly proud to have won it in our third year, 2023.
Our team of expert florists have a huge range of experience and use their skill and artistic flair to break from tradition, providing bouquets of flowers where every petal has its place picked to perfectly complement its neighbour.
We also supply the best quality homewares, including products from suppliers such as Garden Trading, Charlotte Doe & Chickadee. We also stock Winterfold candles and Pott Candles. And a range of fabulous cards and prints from local artists.
We pride ourselves on our local footprints and we love nothing more than getting to know our customers. We apply the same ethos with our suppliers and regularly work with local businesses. We often source our some of our flowers from less than five miles from the shop and also source our ceramic pots and trinket dishes from Charlotte Doe in Woking.
Since our opening we are proud to be able to say that we have used ZERO florist foam which is frankly terrible for the environment. We have also removed plastics from almost every part (we are still trying to think of a solution to water bubbles) of our floristry opting instead for recycled craft paper. Even the energy used in our shop is supplied from renewable sources such as wind as we continually try to lower our carbon footprint.
