  I wanted a beautiful floral tribute for my very special brother-in-law's funeral but most of all I wanted someone who would help my sister to choose something she felt was right for him. I searched the net for a local florist, looking for inspiration. Most had the usual stiff traditional floral tributes that I personally hate. Then, when I'd almost given up hope I found Driftwood and Daisies. Just the name gave me hope and when I looked at the flowers on the website and read about Jo, I knew I was on to something. From the moment my sister and I walked up the path to Jo's cosy kitchen, I knew we'd found the right person. She offered us a cup of tea, we relaxed, chatted about flowers, colours and what both we and my brother-in-law liked and disliked. Jo's warm personality coaxed out of my sister lots of small details and we left feeling that a friend had, with enthusiasm and joy, taken on the burden of making perfect floral tributes for us. We were so enthusiastic that other members of the family tried Jo too and she ended up making 5 floral tributes for us: one of which was a real challenge! Jo suggested that she take the main colour in my sister's tribute and use it in the other tributes to link the family flowers and this worked beautifully. Jo promised us they would be beautiful and we believed her but when we actually saw (and smelt!) them we were bowled over. How she managed to get such perfect tributes done and delivered well before the deadline imposed by the funeral home, I will never know! They were all stunning. Jo even managed to make a flower fish - Grandad's favourite enormous koi, "Jaws"! My sister's double-ended spray looked and smelt absolutely amazing and had so many beautiful flowers in it I really don't know how Jo made it for the price. My sister and I had told Jo that we had something of a dilemma as we wanted some flowers at the funeral but my brother-in-law had requested charity donations as, although he loved flowers, he felt it such a waste when the flowers are left in the cold or thrown into a skip so soon after the funeral. Jo had a solution: she offered her bespoke service which involved collecting the flowers in the afternoon after the funeral, turning them into as many tied bouquets and posies as possible and then delivering them to my sister the next morning. This she did and the bouquets were just as beautiful as the tribute and my sister was able to give them to neighbours and friends who had supported her throughout her husband's illness. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jo to you. She is warm and caring. She listens, uses the most perfect, beautiful flowers and creates the most personal, beautiful, original designs I have ever seen. I live in London and so the opportunities I will have to use Jo's services will be limited, but you can be sure that I will certainly do so at every possible occasion. Good luck with your business Jo. We all hope that you do as well as you deserve.

  Jo did the flowers for our wedding in July and the were perfect! So bright and colourful and exactly what I imagined. Jo is really friendly and helpful and listened to all our ideas and kept in touch throughout our planning process. She ended up producing A LOT of bouquets and displays for us and they were all superb. Would recommend to anyone!

  I have always used a florist in portchester for flowers for funerals I have attended. I searched for ages this time as I wanted something very special for my Auntie who passed suddenly from Cancer. Jo was beyond amazing. She replied quickly to my emails even though I didn't expect a response over a weekend. Ordering and delivery to the funeral directors was faultless and easy.

  The flower arrangements ?? ...... I was speechless. Jo did my Auntie proud. I did not even have to search for my arrangements. They stood out from all of the others and were absolutely stunning. I could not have wished or hoped for anything more as my final goodbye. I certainly will always return to Jo for any future arrangements I need.
