As part of our series on finding out what makes the people who work in town tick, the Manchester Evening News spoke to florist Eloise Evans.
Eloise works in Flourish, off Market Street, which brings an oasis of nature in an area dominated by the greys and beiges of tired walls and paving slabs. The city centre stall is tucked away behind the Market Street Metrolink stop - but well worth a visit.
On the morning we spoke to her, Eloise is the symbol of the resurgence in interest in all things plants. With so many city centre residents renting flats, houseplants are becoming their own slice of paradise - in the way that a white picket fence is for the American dream.

Eloise is wearing practical boots on the day we see her, but styles it out with some ridiculously fashionable pink sunglasses and matching ear rings. Here's what she thinks of Manchester...
- Where’s your favourite hidden gem?
This and That, that’s a hidden gem.
- What’s your favourite view of the city or in the city?
I like Ancoats, and it’s nice looking at the cobbled streets there and the old buildings and mills.
- Where’s best to go for your dinner in town?
I love the Koffee Pot. So good and quite cheap.
- Where would you take someone to show them the real Manchester?
I’d probably take them to Hatch, and then maybe Northern Quarter. Stevenson Square.
- What’s your favourite Mancunian neighbourhood?
I live in Ancoats, so I have to say that.
- City or United?
City.
- Your favourite city pub is…?
I love Guillivers.
- Liam or Noel?
Neither, can I say that? Yeah, neither.
- Who is your favourite city ‘character’?
Ian, who works

resigned from his post earlier this summer, bowing to public pressure to do so after a series of publicity blunders. Johnson drew the most criticism for his behavior during the early days of the pandemic, where he lied about holding office parties amid strict lockdowns for the rest of the country.In July, Johnson faced more anger after it was disclosed that he knew about sexual misconduct allegations against deputy chief whip Chris Pincher before Johnson promoted Pincher (Pincher later resigned while denying that he had groped two young men in a club).Now obviously, Corden would be pretty familiar with Boris Johnson, considering where he’s from.
