Many of you know me here through Thrive and you may already know that I am now running Olive & Ivy Dog Grooming Salon at my little shop in Tankerton 🐩

It’s a space where I get to combine care, patience and creativity in a different way 🐶

If you love plants, there’s also a good chance that you’re an animal person too, so I would love to invite you along to follow my dog grooming journey here ⬇️

*** BIG NEWS ***

Thrive is now growing into something new and becoming Olive & Ivy Dog Grooming.

For this new chapter I decided on a fresh name and new look, same care, same passion, but now focused on keeping your dogs happy, healthy and looking their best.

Inspiration for the name of my new venture came from Olive being my first beloved dog and Ivy symbolising love and loyalty.

I have 15 years of professional dog grooming experience; the start of my journey in a veterinary practice and then on to my very own successful salon before we moved to Tankerton.

I cannot wait to welcome you and your dogs to Olive & Ivy where your dog will receive a lot of love, care and the best grooming experience in a safe and secure environment.

My first groom will be on Tues 9 Sept; so excited to be grooming a mini Schnauzer again which has always been one of my favourite styles to create

Thank you for your ongoing support and please do help spread the word for Olive & Ivy 🐩

Thank you
Laura

*** EXCITING ***

Starting to look like a proper little doggy salon now 🐩🛁🐩

That’s the tricky bit done, water, waste and water heater connected and a shiny new bath!

I estimate early September to be up and running and I will confirm the date as soon as I am ready.

I have opened up a list for my new customers; if you would like your dog to be added, please do get in touch ✂️

Thank you
Laura

*** EXCITING NEWS UPDATE ***

I previously shared that I would be closing my little plant shop but after receiving incredible support and positive feedback from my customers, I decided to take a step back to reconsider the future of my business.

To enable me to stay in my premises I have decided to introduce a dog grooming service for small to medium dogs. My premises is too small to safely accommodate larger breeds.

This is an obvious transition for me, combining my passion for plants and utilising my skills as a professional dog groomer with over 15 years experience.

I will still be keeping a scaled down selection of plants (pet safe) in the shop, however the shop will be closed for browsing whenever grooming is in progress.

I am already progressing with redesigning my space; the Thrive name and signage will have to stay for now as there are more important things to sort/put in place.

The front half of the shop will be mainly dedicated to plants creating an oasis of calm leading to my grooming space at the back.

This is an exciting new venture for me. A lot of my existing customers have dogs which is a great starting point and with so many groomers with huge waiting lists, I am sure there are more than enough dogs to go round and owners that will appreciate an extra option when choosing a one to one grooming experience for their dog.

Thank you
Laura

I am heartbroken to announce I will be closing my little plant shop in August.

The challenges of declining footfall and rising costs has made it increasingly difficult to sustain my business, and I have therefore made the difficult decision to close.

I have poured my heart into Thrive and will miss my little shop dreadfully, but unfortunately it is time to get my head out of the sand and face up to the fact that sales have dropped considerably this year.

I am aiming for Friday 22 August to be closing down day, earlier should everything go before that date or I chance upon a lottery win!

Thank you to all you lovely people that have supported me and my business and I hope to see you before I close.

Thank you
💚Laura💚

Gorgeous vibrant Echinacea in the shop for the weekend 🌸

The Cone Flower is great for filling gaps in borders this time of year and will attract butterflies and bees.

They combine well with other late perennials and grasses, especially in prairie style planting schemes which are my absolute favourite 💚
