The amazing memories of flowers, scents, sights and sounds. Sweetpeas always remind me of my Grampsy. Forever pottering about doing something in the garden and always had the most beautiful sweetpeas. You could smell them as you walked through the front door during the summer months.

After a rough few weeks with our new plantation not doing as well as we had hoped it so nice to see how the old trees are doing and some are even flowering! The most beautiful little white flowers and always such a fresh scent.

Our little village held a safari supper raising money for local charities. We served pudding In our bell tent in the garden to give a true safari feel.

So I was inspired by Jeremy Clarkson’s no sh*ts given attitude, to write about our farming journey so far. It’s been hell and rewarding all at the same time. Stressful and relentless but weirdly joyous. I am lucky to be married to a Kaleb Cooper kind of guy In the form of who can do it all and is an amazing father too. Without him I would be a sad crying mess in the corner. But ultimately teamwork makes the dream work. We have roughy 200 Eucalyptus trees, 2 ponies (1 of which is a cheeky Shetland pony who loves kids but hates men) a Labrador and a now flock of 16 sheep. We sadly lost our amazing cheeky terrier this year, which has been a pain, sadness and grief I didn’t think I could feel.
The last year of our farming journey has been interesting, with a very wet winter. What was our flower farm that started during covid is now 6feet tall in weeds and currently has a digger in the middle of it. Yes, only the poor peonies I planted a few years ago have hung on to flower the best they ever have! I have to say the docks and stingers are looking fabulous. But sometimes, something has to give and this year it’s the flower farm. I can’t do it all.
The Eucalyptus had the most severe pruning of their lives and we literally chopped their heads off with two kids, endless snacks, a quad bike from Grandpa, Labrador and sharp instruments in tow all whilst it threatened to rain.
We move onto spring with a slightly less than ideal lambing where we only had one Ewe lamb so not feeling the late nights where ideally worth it but nevertheless we got two beautiful healthy ewe lambs early hours of Easter week, I’ll be forever grateful for Granny showing me the ropes and holding my hand and of course our Rio link camera so I can check on them whilst I’m at my day job. No one tell the boss. But it is definitely a bonus working for a vet practice.
The year has moved on the lambs are fat and the flock has been sheared by the amazing Alex whilst little O ran around shouting at them and trying his hardest to eat the chocolate drops on the floor, don’t worry we thwarted his need to eat sheep poo I promise.

In the zone, just doing my thing. Playing with homegrown flowers and foliage.
It’s been a hectic few weeks, but the brighter weather and promise of summer definitely helps with the energy levels.
Whilst doing flowers for the Wildfires event I definitely learnt some lessons when it came to flowers and fire 🔥 but that’s what it’s all about. Learning and adapting.

Exciting things are afoot! This year we pollarded the first plantation of Eucalyptus for the first time and honestly it was pretty nerve wracking. You literally have to chop there heads off and hope for the best! Well I can safely say they have started to bud now. Major sigh of relief from both and myself on seeing this little miracle taking place. Thanks for all the ongoing advice .hilary

Happy National Eucalyptus Day. 🐨 Hands down the best foliage there is, well in my opinion anyway 😉.

07/03/2023

Thanks for an awesome delivery of peat free goodness. Now time to get organised! 🌸

19/02/2023

Swipe to see my addiction to seed buying 🙈 I’m embarrassed to say I found another pile too 😬. Let’s hope I can grow something this year!

02/02/2023

Looking forward to creating and growing this year. The lovely weather the last few days really helps to get motivated.

Busy clearing the tunnel today and look who I bumped into! Mr Toad was quite put out when I disturbed his hiding place. So I helped him make a new one and now he’s all snug again.

Slightly different type of farming today. picked Gordon up earlier today and we have prepped him ready to have his date with the ladies in the morning. The ladies have been dagged, bit like a Brazilian to you and me 😜 although unfortunately for them my previous Beauty Therapy training has not helped in this situation 🙈. They have also had their Cidr’s removed, these are something along the lines of the coil but to bring on fertility not prevent it! We have artificially brought them all into season together in the hopes that we can condense lambing into a week. It will be purely trial and error but that is what farming is all about. So now we just have to wait and see if they all have red bums by the end of the week from the chalk on the harness that Gordon is wearing! Thanks for loaning us the handsome Gordon.

25/10/2022

Ewe are lovely 😜. Just another part of our craziness is our 14 gorgeous girls. 7 of which will be going on a date soon with a handsome guy called Gordon. So next Easter is set to be a busy one! This lady pictured is called Red, she is a Hampshire Down cross and was named by my daughter (it’s her favourite colour 😆).

So it’s finally here! Let the Eucalyptus harvesting season commence! Get in touch if you are interested in the most highly scented British grown Eucalyptus! I will put up in stories some of the different leaf varieties we have. This year we will be selling mainly in mixed bunches to keep things simple. Happy Friday everyone ☺️

What a day. It’s been an emotional one. I was lucky to spend it with family and be able to watch our beautiful Queens funeral on the tv although I do wish I could of been there in person. I was so touched to hear that her beautiful flowers were on a foam free base and all in season from the grounds of Buckingham Palace, Clarence House and Highgrove house and chosen by our new King. Even now she is paving a way for a better future. We were so lucky and I don’t think we ever realised it. God bless you ma’am and goodnight.

Shamelessly stolen this picture so I’m sorry I can’t give credit to the artist. But it honestly touched me so much. Being an animal lover and mother I can only begin to imagine the pain and sorrow the Royal family must be feeling. Our beautiful Queen was such an inspiration to so many and I honestly didn’t know how much she had affected my life till this moment. She was someone to believe in and to look to for guidance. She will be truly missed. Rest in peace with your beloved Philip.

Not the prettiest picture but the new Eucalyptus orchard is really starting to take off. This weekends task is to install some watering system for them as they will soon become pretty stressed in the hot weather we are having. We are lucky, we don’t usually need to water much as we keep a thick layer of wood chip around them and we are on heavy clay which helps to retain water. They will also be due a feed soon so plenty to do.

I love all the little visitors we get to the tunnel. It’s often a hive of activity in there.

02/04/2022

The Ranunculus never disappoint

30/03/2022

Not something you ever wish to do but I feel honoured to of been able to do the flowers to adorn my Grandfather’s coffin. All homegrown with the exception of the violas and pansies. He was a mad cricket fan so the base is an old cricket bat topped with chicken wire and moss. I wanted to use seasonal flowers, as he also loved gardening and wow they didn’t disappoint. Thanks must also go to for all her help to create this, it definitely took a few hands!
I think I did him proud.
