A flower shop has opened in Meadow Street in Weston-super-Mare.

Mother and daughter Penny and Georgina Tincknell have opened Sunflowers Florist Weston.

Georgina completed a floristry degree in Bath before working in the Sunflowers Florist shop in Gloucester for four years with Wendy North, Penny’s sister-in-law.

Penny said: “We decided to open the shop because we are local and it is nice to invest in your town.

“We will have some little gifts and balloons, but mostly it is a huge amount of fresh flowers.

“We are so excited about it.”
