Botanicus sets up shop at Hyde Park (and yes, the space is blooming marvelous!)
The floral stylists and event experts new store is anything but your average “blooms in buckets” kind of operation
Life members of the Botanicus fan club will be deliriously happy to hear that the Joburg floral stylists and event experts have opened a physical store in Hyde Park. In doing so, owner Johannes van Greunen and his team are carrying on a fine tradition, having taken over what was Cottage Flowers for decades. As it turns out, since the shopping centre opened in 1969, this space — close to the main parkade and lifts — has always been a flower shop.
However, this is no longer your average “blooms in buckets” kind of operation. Rather, expect perfectly curated arrangements in a setting that is elegant, minimalist, and utterly alluring. The warm and welcoming Van Greunen’s work is always sophisticated, sculptural, and totally contemporary, and here it manifests in bouquets, flora-filled vases, and floral accoutrements worthy of a fine Parisian atelier.
This should be your flower go-to spot for events, special occasions, and gifts for loved ones and yourself.
