Manns Floral

Manns Floral is located at 2 Manish Cold Drink House in Santacruz West. Most people in this part of the neighborhood know exactly where that is, so it makes it easy for people to find us. Santacruz is a lively area, and being right by the cold drink house means there’s always someone standing around. The shop itself is pretty basic. We don’t have big fancy display windows or anything like that. Instead, we have rows of buckets and a couple of old wooden tables where we do all the cutting and tying. The air in here usually smells like wet earth and cut stems. We get our stock delivered early in the morning, and by the time the sun is high, we’re usually covered in bits of greenery. It gets really hot in the summer, and we spend a lot of our time just making sure the plants don't dry out. It’s not really a glamorous job, even though people think it is. You end up with thorns in your fingers and dirt under your nails most days. We have been at this for a long time, so we don't really think about it much anymore. We just get on with the orders and talk to the people who are waiting for their drinks next door. It’s a nice community feel here. We don't have a big corporate plan, we just want to get the work done and go home.
