Stump Grinding
Jamie Spencer, Owner of Mr Spencer's Flowers
After a long career in the music industry working with
artistes such as Madness, Ian Dury, Sandie Shaw, Swing Out
Sister and many more, in 2016 Jamie Spencer found himself
looking for a change in work life.
Jamie has always been passionate about flowers spending
most of his Sunday mornings at the Columbia Road Flower
Market in East London, going home with sumptuous flowers to
adorn every room in his home. When living in London, Jamie
attended two floristry courses, one with Jane Packer and the
other with Paula Pryke. He described these as “wonderful
experiences”. “Back then I did my first wedding and arranged
opening and closing night flowers for two “Mrs Robinson’s” in
The Graduate in the West End and, although, I had been
tempted to look at floristry as a business over the years, I
never had the nerve to go for it”.
Jamie now lives in Clare and with encouragement from
friends, he decided to take the plunge to start his own floristry
business in 2017. “I love the wild flowers found in the British
Countryside, I like to create bespoke natural, vintage style
country arrangements and bouquets, be it for a wedding,
funeral, anniversary, birthday or just a gift to say thank you,
get well or I love you”. “I aim to use seasonal, UK grown
flowers, flowers from local suppliers where possible. I’m not
keen on buying flowers that have travelled thousands of miles
to get to the UK if I can avoid it”. “Also, where possible, my
arrangements are made without using floral foam and my
packaging is bio degradable, so I hope to be doing my little bit
for this gorgeous planet we find ourselves on.”
