Online searches for flowers during the UK&#8217;s first lockdown were<a href=\"https:\/\/graziadaily.co.uk\/fashion\/shopping\/popular-flowers-to-send-in-the-post\/\"> up by 277%.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clare Hudson who owns Little Flower Den in Cardiff said she&#8217;s received more Mother&#8217;s Day orders than ever before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve already had ten customers in. I&#8217;ve got Mother&#8217;s Day flowers for them and Mother&#8217;s Day isn&#8217;t for another three weeks,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Little Flower Den wasn&#8217;t open during the first lockdown. Clare praises the funds her business received from the Welsh Government at that time, but believes that she would have been extremely busy if they&#8217;d been able to open their doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It literally was crazy,&#8221; she added. &#8220;There was a massive impact on the florists that were open.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As spring approaches, florists will be looking towards an easing of restrictions which might mean they could open up their shops. And with Mother&#8217;s Day only weeks away, they&#8217;re confident that they&#8217;ll get another month of blooming good sales.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cardiff florists have had the weight of lockdown lightened by raking over the way they work. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":566,"featured_media":27720,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[21,194,276,714,713,715,279,716,523],"coauthors":[568],"class_list":["post-27715","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-cardiff","tag-coronavirus","tag-covid-19","tag-florists","tag-flowers","tag-holiday","tag-lockdown","tag-pandemic","tag-retail"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 -
