There’s a quiet revolution taking place in Lindfield, involving flowers, far-away places, and two women who believe in doing things properly.

Kelly Harding has been creating beautiful floral arrangements at Bella June Flowers for years, building a reputation for knowing exactly what’s in season, what’s right for the occasion, and what will make someone’s day. Now she’s welcoming Personal Travel Consultant Jo Hyder into her shop for regular drop-in sessions.

“We realised our businesses have more in common than you’d think,” says Kelly. “People come to us for life’s big moments – anniversaries, birthdays, celebrations, and sometimes comfort after difficult times. They want someone who genuinely cares about getting it right.”

Jo, with over a decade of experience, shares the same philosophy. She says “The best holidays always start with a conversation. I know how to make travel arrangements that just work. A brilliant hotel, perfect for one client, will be totally wrong for another, but reviews don’t reveal that nuance. More complex trips need real expertise and with all that’s going on in the world, I find clients want someone in their corner should they need help whilst away. That’s exactly what I offer.”

Recently, Jo transformed a client’s honeymoon travel day – which fell on their birthday – from an exhausting journey into a scenic train journey through Kenyan game parks, complete with wildlife viewing and champagne. Not because the client asked, but because there was a chance to make the experience better. Same budget, completely different memory.

“That’s what expertise gives you.” Jo smiles. “Little touches that turn good holidays into unforgettable ones.”

Jo will be at Bella June Flowers on the High Street on Saturday 27th June – pop in and say hello.
