CoGoGo are delighted to welcome to the market Wild Flowers (Standish) Ltd, a highly rated florist and floral training business in Wigan, Greater Manchester. 

The business was first established by our client in 2008, building up an excellent reputation and loyal client base over that time. As seen by the online ratings and reviews, the business is extremely popular within the local area.

Wild Flowers (Standish) Ltd has now come to the open market due to our client’s desire to pursue other ventures.

Their focus is on creating stunning, naturally styled floral gifts using only the best seasonal fresh flowers. They provide local flower delivery in Standish and the wider Wigan area. They also have a dedicated floristry studio above our shop where we offer flower arranging classes and other craft workshops.
