About Katong Flower Shop About Katong Flower Shop
History
Katong Flower Shop was set up in 1948 by Low Teck Cheng and it has since created a niche for itself to become one of the leading florists in Singapore.
In post-war Singapore, the local flower business started to bloom as flowers were required for weddings and other ceremonies. In the early days, orchids and gladiolus were the favoured flowers. As only the rich could afford to buy these flowers, making them available at the shop inadvertently meant that the Katong Flower Shop initially catered mainly to the higher strata of the Katong population. As such, we have built up a reputation over the years for the high quality that many has come to expect.
In terms of flowers import, Katong Flower Shop was one of the first in Singapore to import flowers from Cameron Highlands, Malaysia. In the beginning, the main varieties of flowers were quite limited. Only chrysanthemums, carnations, lilliums and roses were imported. Later, the shop pioneered the import of flowers from Taiwan and Japan, followed by Holland, with tulip bulbs and hyacinths.
As Singapore develops, a gentler side of the country emerges and this sets the stage for the growth of the flower industry in Singapore. Five-star hotels use flowers in their displays, likewise hospitals and homes. Apart from using flowers to grace ceremonies and occasions, flowers also becomes a symbol to express tender emotions. Today, flowers are imported from the Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Costa Rica and Columbia.
Description
