There is a fresh burst of color arriving at Rutland Garden Village this month. Angela Wheatley, the creative force behind Rutland Florals, has officially opened her new brick-and-mortar storefront, "The Flower Shed," nestled behind the main plant area at the popular Ashwell Road destination.

For Angela, this expansion is more than just a business move it’s a homecoming to a lifelong passion.

"My grandmother was a very keen flower arranger," Angela shares. "She was a member of a lot of the local societies and a florist herself. She did many weddings and events, and my mum helped her. They had a little side hustle of their own going back in the 80s."

It seems the floral touch truly is in her DNA. Despite not originally planning to follow that exact path, Angela’s love for gardening and flowers began at a very young age. After spending the last few years successfully building the weddings and events side of Rutland Florals, she realised the demand for high-quality, local floral gifting was growing just as fast as her business.

"I very quickly outgrew my garden studio," she explains. "So there was an opportunity to move in here and The Flower Shed was born."

Whether you are looking for a bespoke hand-tied bouquet, a thoughtful gift, or expert floral inspiration, The Flower Shed is set to be a vibrant addition to the Rutland community. Visitors can browse designs, witness arrangements being crafted in real-time, and enjoy the broader amenities of Rutland Garden Village, including the on-site Radish restaurant.
