History

Established in 1981.

Established over thirty years ago in the main floor of a house on Windsor Avenue, Foxgloves gained a reputation of providing creative arrangements using only the highest quality product.

From this location, Foxgloves was moved to the Athalone Court on Hampshire into a retail outlet. At that time, Foxgloves Flowers was called «Foxgloves-​The Oak Bay Flower Shop».

Foxgloves had many successful years at this location, and in 1996 the owner at the time split the name of the shop and brought Foxgloves into the downtown market at G4 1001 Douglas in Sussex Place.

In 2001 Foxgloves Flowers was purchased by the present owner, Colleen O’Farrell, and moved, once again, to «Lower Johnson» in the heart of old town Victoria.

Many years later, in the spring of 2010, Colleen moved Foxgloves back to its roots and into a private studio setting. Still focusing on the day-​to-​day telephone and internet orders, corporate and wedding events, Foxgloves has new life in its fresh new location.
