A MUM and daughter have opened a new florist in Crewe.

Julie and Sophie Garratt joined forces to launch Bluebells florist, in Underwood Lane, Crewe.

Julie has worked as a florist in Crewe for 28 years and Sophie is a second year floristry student at Reaseheath College.

Last month, Reaseheath teachers and students came down to the shop to have a look around.

Julie said: “They were really impressed how the shop had been done up and set u in such a short space of time.

“As well as having a look they also discussed how to set up a flower shop and all the factors you have to think about before we got where we are today, and the changes that have been made along the way.”
