be able to post out nationwide. We offer something special that you can’t find in supermarkets or most florists.
Is sustainability important to you? Absolutely! My flowers are mostly home-grown locally - ‘Home grown not flown’ is our mantra and we grow our own flowers to avoid using flown-in flowers from other countries wherever possible. There’s no plastic, no peat, we don’t use nasty chemicals, they’re wildlife friendly etc. It is all about sustainability. Remember, 90% of the flowers
bought in the UK are grown abroad. Many are flown from South America, Africa, and New Zealand, whilst others are grown in Europe and most come via the
What type of flowers do you grow? We grow cottage garden, wild and unusual flowers that you can’t buy in garages and supermarkets.

wildlife and the environment. Freshly harvested flowers will not only look that extra bit special but will last longer. We usually put arrangements together within 24 hours of harvesting them. From March-October I grow
our own flowers at our flower farm. Outside of this period we
source our flowers from other local growers who grow in sustainably heated polytunnels, (although, excitingly, we hope to extend our growing season soon, with our own heated tunnels). If our customers want a particular flower or colour, that we don’t grow, or is out-of- season, then we will source flowers from elsewhere if required. Most of our seed sowing is done
between February and June, so if you’d like specific flower varieties that we don’t already grow, we can plant them to order so long as you book your flowers with us far enough in advance.
What are your favourite flowers? Scabius, Anemone, Ranunculus, Love in a Mist, Wild Carrot (it smells wonderful when you cut it).
