Historique
There is a reference to an organisation of gardeners in 1345. By the time of the granting of the Company's first charter in 1605, it was fully in control of its trade. By the mid 19th century the company was in abeyance, but it revived in the 1890s. It received its grant of arms in 1905.
In recent years, the company has been notable for running a number of campaigns and competitions in the City of London including the Flowers in the City Campaign and the Winter Colour Competition. It also continues the tradition of providing bouquets and flowers for members of the Royal family and for Royal occasions.
