For 37 years, the family-run florist shop on the corner of Devonshire Road and Coldharbour Road has been serving the community of Westbury Park and beyond, providing flowers, plants and cards for all occasions, along with a warm welcome.
But now, the premises of Flowers by Barry Toogood are up for let. Barry and his wife, Jayne, are moving on and the business closed its doors for the final time just before Christmas.
Barry has also been a stalwart of the Westbury Park Open Gardens events and his knowledge and expertise will be very much missed.
Barry told the Westbury Park Community Association: “It has been a pleasure and a privilege to have been a part of this wonderful community for 37 years.
“We have enjoyed the friendship and support given to us by our lovely customers and would like to say a huge thank you to everyone.”
The Westbury Park community also offers its thanks in return “not just for your cheerful everyday help, but for being there for birthdays, weddings and funerals, all of which had your complete attention.”
Best wishes to Barry and Jayne for a very happy retirement.
