Three florists, a long bench and a cold room full of buckets on Linden Row, Springfield (sample).
From a market stall to Linden Row
Ana Marlow (sample) started with a stall at the Saturday market and a van full of buckets. The stall sold out most weeks, and in 2017 the old shoe shop on Linden Row came up for rent.
Today the front is the shop and the back is the studio, with the bench, the cold room and a big sink for conditioning stems. We still go to the market twice a week before dawn.

A small studio that makes every order by hand
Marlow Flower Studio (sample) is three florists, one long bench and a cold room full of buckets. We buy at the flower market twice a week and from two growers nearby, so most of what you see was in a field a few days ago.
