Jackie Dean has a lifetime love of flowers, plants and gardening, along with 25 years’ training experience: a perfect combination for working in the floristry industry and working with both children and adults in their learning about flowers.
At the beginning of 2015 Jackie left a corporate role as a Learning and Development Manager of a global organisation to pursue her love of working with flowers and plants. She has been continually enhancing her professional floristry skills by attending courses and conferences and in July 2015 she set up her business “Flowers of Fun” and began organising unique “Flower Birthday Parties” for children.
On the 1st October 2016 Jackie's dream came true when she opened her florist shop "Bluebell Wood Florist" in her home town of Tewkesbury. She waited patiently the perfect shop to become available, which it eventually did in Barton Street. It's a beautiful shop, full of beautiful flowers, plants and gifts for all occasions. From her shop she aims to make every bouquet, arrangement and gift special and unique to the individual its created for.
Jackie is also on a mission to encourage children and adults to get creative with and enjoy flowers and has developed a variety of activities and opportunity for children and adults to get involved.
​Jackie and her team prides herself on the quality and range of flowers available in her shop. Offering bespoke designs for her customers, whether it be a bouquet for a special occasion, arrangements for functions or for Christmas. She creates beautiful flowers for Weddings, working closely with the bride to ensure they are perfect for their special day. She will ensure families have exactly the flowers they desire for a fitting tribute to their loved ones.
“I feel so lucky. I adore working with and creating arrangements with flowers that make others happy. Being able to share my knowledge and love of flowers with others, especially the children, is both a privilege and pleasure!” Jackie Dean
