Holly Grows

Bunches from the shop 🌸

Making up all my sisters wedding flowers planted the seed of starting to sell flowers again 🥰🤍

Hi 👋🏻

It’s been 5 months since I closed the shop in Portobello and I’m missing the creativity and the flowers 🌸

So, myself and my partner Simon will be selling flowers and some other pretty things at Peebles farmers market on the 3rd of August, and hopefully more to follow 🥰

Would love to see some friendly faces 🤍

I’ll be sharing bits and bobs of the markets and also my garden on here - which I hope will supply a few home grown flowers next year 🙏🏻

Heaven on earth

Just wanted to share some memories from the 3.5 years of Holly Grows 🫶🏻🌿

From markets in West Linton and pop ups at Spoon to the shop in Portobello, there is so much loveliness to look back on 🥲

So many of my happy memories come from the people that I have met along the way. I will always treasure the summers spent in the back garden with my friends. And forever be grateful for meeting my partner who started out as a Holly Grows customer - who totally nailed surprising me with a party at the shop to celebrate a year open 🥰 (peep my reaction in slide 5)

I will never be able to repay you all for supporting me along the way, thank you soooo much for attending workshops, buying plants, buying SO many wreaths, following on social media, coming in to chat - all of it 🫶🏻

From now on I’ll be using this page as a place to share my photography and behind the scenes of my life as a wedding planner with and whatever else comes my way - maybe I’ll do workshops again come Christmas - never say never 😉

Grateful for anyone who sticks around! Lots and lots of love ❤️

Well it’s official! I’m bringing the closing date forward to the end of next week because we have very little stock left ✌🏻

Pop in to say hey this week and help me shift what’s left 🥰

Hello! Holly here.

As many of you know, I have been trying to sell the business for a while now. I have now decided to take the business off the market and it is with great sadness that I announce we will be closing our shop in Portobello.

I have absolutely loved having the shop for the past 2 and a half years (!!), it has totally flown by and I have met so many wonderful friends and customers. Being a part of the community in Portobello has been such an honour and I will miss it greatly. Chatting away to you all in the shop and at the workshops has definitely been the highlight of shop ownership.

But it is time for a change and I am ready and excited to see where life takes me next.

Our official closing date will be annouced in due course but it will likely be mid February, or whenever we run out of stock! I will begin discounts this week so keep your eyes peeled on stories for more on that.

Please pop in and say hello as many times as you can squeeze in, and potentially grab a good deal and help me shift some stock whilst you’re in.

As for what’s next for Holly Grows - I am not entirely sure yet, I will keep this instagram of course and potentially continue offering workshops, but first I need some time off to reassess everything and work out what I want to do. I would love for you all to stick around and support whatever comes next!

So much love to you all,
Holly x

Just a reminder that the shop is closed today so I can have day off for my birthday!

I’ll be spending the day wandering around the Modern Art Gallery and Portrait Gallery, then going out for lunch, and coming home to do some crafts 🥰🎂

See you tomorrow! X

Happy Wednesday folks, it’s the start of a new week at Holly Grows ✨

Here’s some flower pics I took at my new favourite place 🌸

It’s feeling so autumnal today, I love the changing of the seasons but also feeling slightly afraid of the months and months of jumper wearing ahead 🥶

I’ve got fresh flowers in for you this week which I’ll post pics of on stories when they’re made up 🫶🏻

Come say hey, I’d love to see you all ☺️❤️

Hello 👋🏻 I have been sooo quiet on the grid recently, but we’re still here!

Thanks for all the support after I announced we’re selling the business 🫶🏻 everything is still business as usual here for now, so we’re still repotting, workshop-ing and selling lovely plants and gifts 🥰

If there’s anything you’d like to see in store or on social media, let me know! 🙏🏻

And keep spreading the word to anyone who might be interested in owning their own plant shop, selling a business is no mean feat 🌿

Big news! We’re selling Holly Grows 😬

Fingers and toes crossed we find someone and Holly Grows gets to stay put in Porty ❤️

Have you ever dreamed of owning your own plant shop?! Contact details for enquiries can be found on the last slide 🌿

Don’t worry though, it’s business as usual until we find the right person to take over! 🥰

Hey everyone! Been a bit MIA on Instagram recently - social media burn out perhaps 😅

But Crumpet and I are still here and ready to greet you in store Wednesday - Sunday 🥰

Sending you all lots of love, thanks for the support as always ❤️
