Mint Flowers is an independent florist in the Bridge Street Arcade, the old Dowsons Arcade, at 40 Bridge Street in Nelson. It is led by Kay Jordan, a qualified designer florist. The shop does arrangements, gift baskets and hampers, along with wedding, sympathy, corporate and funeral flowers, including casket sprays. It also stocks fudge, balloons, soft toys and some dried flowers, and it is part of the Petals network for delivery worldwide.
