Across the city, florists prepared for a hectic weekend as customers rushed to buy flowers ahead of Mother\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local flower shops across Sheffield said Mother\u2019s Day is one of their busiest days of the year alongside Valentine\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2025, Barclays<\/a> found that there was a 553.2% increase in transactions at florists on the Friday before Mother\u2019s Day in comparison to the average day in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Florists prepared by ordering extra stock and extending their business hours, with most florists keeping their shops open on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shop windows filled with colourful bouquets attracted last-minute customers looking for a quick and meaningful gift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One shopper, Komal Chauhan, 21, said: \u201cI bought my mum flowers because they\u2019re her favourite and I knew that she would appreciate them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most popular flowers customers got included spring flowers and tulips. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kathy, 29, a florist assistant and delivery driver for Plantology in Sheffield, spoke on why it was important to support local florist businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plantology is an independent florist with a trained team of florist designers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kathy said: “There’s a lot of care that goes into people’s products that potentially you would not find in supermarkets.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flowers remain the most popular gift for Mother’s Day. Serenata Flowers’<\/a> study, of 2005 British adults, found that 48% of gifts bought for Mother’s Day were flowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roots and Bloom, a community interest company (CIC) that invests their profits back into the community, founded their flower shop in 2019 from their local flower farm to continue their support for people with dementia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gina O\u2019Connor, the founder and director of Roots and Bloom, emphasised the connection she has with customers and how supporting local businesses \u201csupports their livelihood.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The celebration continues to be one of the busiest times of the year for florists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
