Elle Pinkard has refurbished her East Sussex store after realising the value of running a physical premises   

Located in Ashdown Forest’s Babylon Eco Centre, the refurbished store is open everyday for both appointment and walk-in clients.

The revamp, which comes a year after Adventures By first debuted as a “pop-up”, was commissioned after Elle was presented with an opportunity for expansion.

“The florist company we’d first shared the space with relocated to somewhere else within the garden centre,” she told TTG. “And so we thought, ‘Do you know what? Let’s do it.’”
