A train station is probably the last place you’d think to go for a really beautiful bunch of flowers. Unless you’re in Winchester that is. Here, in the most unlikely of spots, you’ll find Catkin & Pussywillow, a beautiful vintage florist well worth seeking out, even if you don’t have a train to catch.

Housed in one of the station’s old brick outbuildings, you’re greeted by a gorgeous display spilling out onto the pavement. Stacks of vintage crates, buckets and reclaimed furniture form the backdrop to the gorgeous flowers they display.

Inside, the small space brims with more vintage finds and a well curated selection of gifts – some great books, beautiful Lauden chocolates, Long Barn toiletries and handmade cards. And this is before you’re even started on the floor to ceiling flowers.

Think tulips, amnesia roses, gorgeous foliage and seasonal blooms, all wrapped in smart brown paper and tied with twine. The type of bouquet you’d be over the moon to receive. But then you forgo a visit to this beautiful shop, and the lovely task of picking out your favourite bunch. And I can’t decide which is better!
