About Us
This Guild is known to have existed as a Fraternity since 1345, and was incorporated by Letters Patent (Charter) on 18th September 1605, by James I. In 1891, the Company was granted its Livery, and accorded the seniority number 66 among the City’s Guilds. The Company is actively involved in the City of London – in the past century, more of its members have been Lord Mayor than from any other Company ¬- participating in the election of the City of London officers each year, and working to promote gardening and horticulture within the City; perhaps its best known activity on this front is its Flowers in the City Campaign, launched more than 40 years ago in conjunction with the City Corporation as a means of helping to brighten the City, and encourage floral display in summer and winter.
