DTelegraph flower market article

Today's DT. A very positive piece on Chiswick Flower Market. I'd put a link, but it's behind a paywall.

What a smashing tribute to Karen Liebreich, Ollie Saunders, Bridget Osborne and many others who have worked so hard to make this a roaring success. And great to hear From Whitman that they have let every commercial premises on their books. From what I have heard we have some treats in store for CHR, especially for those who like active travel. Actions speak so much louder than words, words, words.

Well done Karen and Ollie! And everyone else who had volunteered, persevered and turned up on the day to turn an idea into a glorious reality!

Seconded Paul. A group of people having a hugely positive impact on Chiswick. Thank you Karen, Ollie and Bridget.

Double-page spread. Great to see the High Road rebounding in no small part thanks to the flower market.

"From what I have heard we have some treats in store for CHR, especially for those who like active travel."When you wrote 'treats' Fifi and Barney got really excited thinking yummy the edible kind, It's  a bike shop, so why not say that ?Got rid of your car yet Paul or are you still being a tad hypocritical ?

Well done indeed to all concerned but am I the only person getting a wiff that there is an unrelated faction looking for a little reflected glory here?

Adrian Irving ● 1962d

Adrian, I very much doubt it 😉

It is a brilliant initiative but I do think there is a bit of a 'west London premium' as, on a like for like basis the prices seem higher than Columbia Road.

You need to be honest rather than making insinuations. Karen and Abundance have and are doing wonderful and beneficial work for Chiswick.
