In Memoriam - Kathy Mitchell
Victoria Park Flowers was owned and operated by Kathy Mitchell until June 2014 when she passed away after a short illness.
Kathy was the Queen of her local bunch of shops, firstly at Victoria Park Market and then just up the road at the aptly named Victoria Square. As local royalty she wore her crown with grace, beauty and charm – more befitting of a Hollywood screen actress than a hardworking 60-hour-a-week florist.
When holding court at the local Coffee Shop, Sale Street bar or the Drake Pub, she’d pass on her humble but wise ideas on promoting and improving her neighbourhood; always wanting the businesses around her to be as successful and busy as her own flower empire. With a word of encouragement and a can-do attitude, nothing was a problem for Kathy, and all this was done with a twinkle in her sparkly eyes, and a wicked laugh.
We are the lucky ones – we saw Kathy every day, even if only for a quick hello, a sit down coffee or a glass of wine after hours. She touched all our lives and made our place of business and work brighter and happier – she really did.
Julian Maloney - Maloneys Barber Shop
The above words I borrowed from Julian but no-one could have said it better. I met Kathy 9 years ago and as both a friend and client, I was able to play a supporting role in her business during that time. So it is with great pleasure that I can let you know that, as the new owner of Victoria Park Flowers, I can continue Kathy's mission of providing the best value and floral designs in Auckland.
Although the ownership has changed, you will see the same friendly faces in the shop and we look forward to seeing you soon in 2015.
