About us

Gill’s Grandfather, William Homer probably started off the family tradition in floristry. Selling traditional holly wreaths on the footpath in front of 86 Rose Green Road – something Gill still does to this day.

Her formal education in flower arranging was at what is now Chichester College, Brinsbury Campus and in 1992 Gill was awarded certificates for her achievements.

Flair and talent is what it is all about and many friends and acquaintances have recognised Gill’s skill and asked her to do their wedding flowers even before her formal training. The practical aspects of floristry were leant by working in several florist shops in the area, so Gill is able to relate well to what local people need and the high standard they expect.

Since Gills Flowers formally started in April 2004 she has been assisted by husband, Albert who gets involved with deliveries, taking orders, making bits of hardware and other activities. Albert lived in Australia for about 35 years as you may detect from his accent and has been trying, with some limited success, to grow Australian plants here in Bognor Regis.
