A well-known Coalville florist says it will be closing its doors for good next month.

The owners of the Flower Garden in Belvoir Road says it will cease trading in town on August 31 after six years.

A message on social media - from Bonnie, Jon and The Flower Garden team - says they plan to re-locate to Yorkshire over the next few months.

The post also says that the shop has been up for sale since May of last year as the owners wanted the site to stay as a flower shop, but there has not been a buyer.

The Flower Garden's post reads: "We just wanted to let all our wonderful customers know that with a heavy heart The Flower Garden will cease trading on the 31st august 2023.

"We would like to take this opportunity to say a massive thank you for supporting us over the last six years.

"Without you we wouldn't have been able to carry on over these last few unpredictable years.

"It has been an amazing time here for us and we are going to miss you very much.

"We are closing due to lots of personal reasons but the main one is that we are hoping to re locate in the next few months to Yorkshire to be closer to family.

"We have been trying to sell the business since May 2022, but unfortunately have not managed to make this happen.

"We desperately wanted to keep it as a flower shop for Coalville as we think it has been an asset to the town and for all our regular customers.

"Once again, a big thank you and sorry we will not be able to provide you with any more beautiful flowers from August 31st.'

It adds: "We will have 50 per cent off almost every gift in the shop from now, so come and grab yourselves a bargain!"
