Our Story

Did you know that our story starts in Montreal? It does! Judy started our journey in the 80s by taking night classes from a certified Florist in Montreal. Shortly after she gained her certification she moved to Bathurst and purchased Glenn's Flower Shop in 1985.

Leigh soon followed developing her own love for flowers and design, working with Judy. Flower shops decline in popularity and Leigh finds herself working in other domains. Years after, Leigh purchases Glendenning's Canteen and converts half into a flower shop of her own, opening the doors for her daughter Stephanie to follow the tradition.

Not knowing what she was in for, Stephanie jumps right in, finding a undiscovered passion of her own. Stephanie is happy to continue the family tradition of floristry.

40 years of industry experience, 10 years after opening, Glendening's Flowers stands strong and proud. We are passionate about sharing our love for flowers and design; we do our best to make sure our customers are always happy to return.

The mother-daughter team.. and the grandmother

Leigh
Leigh is our hard working owner who keeps things together behind the scenes. Although she loves to design, you’ll most often find her, taking orders and making sure your delivery arrives safely at its destination. She truly cares for her customers and she will always do her best to make sure your order leaves our shop with the best possible quality.
Stephanie
When she isn't working on advertising, social media or online presence, our main designer Stephanie can be found concentrating her efforts at the design counter. Her knowledge and expertise exceeds her years and she still continues to grow. Stephanie never backs down from a challenge and will do what it takes to make your floral visions come to life.
Judy
This is the lady who started it all! Judy learned floral design in Montreal in the early 80s and never looked back; she continues to remind us of the"rules". If you're lucky, you'll catch her in the back shop adding her 2 cents.
