A FORMER Royal Court florist has launched a new business in Portishead.

Sarah Tynan, who once prepared fresh flowers and floral displays for Prince Charles and Princess Diana, has opened a florist service inside Mother Nature, a health food shop at 100 High Street.

The mum-of-two, who grew up in Portishead, has worked as a florist all over the world but says she is delighted to be promoting her own business in her home town.

She said: “I have operated as Sarah Tynan Flowers from home for some time, but there is nothing like being in a High Street location, serving the public as well as providing corporate services.”

Sarah stocks a wide range of fresh and silk flowers in a dedicated section at the front of the store.

She also takes orders for weddings, funerals and functions as well as tending corporate and general household floral needs.
