Snow day on the farm!! I don’t think I can remember the last time I saw snow before Christmas and it pretty much always bypasses Bristol so it really was a surprise to drive through a snow flurry when I was on the way to receive a delivery of peat free compost.

Obviously the snow meant inevitable delays to the delivery so here are a few snaps I took whilst waiting.

❄️ A sneaky nasturtium finding refuge under the last dahlia standing

❄️ Our delightful anthemis - such a popular flower this year, we sold out most weeks

❄️ The Monada candelabras standing proud

❄️ Our last dahlia. We aren’t saving this one for next year

❄️ Geum Totally Tangerine putting some late season stems up

❄️ snowfall



Bless the driver from he did his best to get the 1 tonne palates as close to the farm as he could

Chrysanths having their moment. It’s been a physical day, cutting back the dahlias and putting them to bed. The job is now done. So it was a total joy to treat myself to a bunch of chrysanths to take home. Get in touch if you’d like some for your home. There aren’t many flowers that you can get in November than have been grown with no heat and light, but these are one of them. So if you’d like guilt free flowers, get in touch.

Dreaming of Icelandic poppies in the Spring but struggling to germinate them? We’ve been working on breeding these beauties for the last few years and have been working on a pastel mix. Here’s some of last years, so imagine the bunch minus the orange and coral. Icelandic babies have been potted on this week, already have good root systems and are settling into their plugs.

We’re excited to announce that we are now registered for posting and providing plant passports. These have all been germinated from our own seed (Champagne Bubbles being part of the parentage) so plugs will be a pastel mix including the sought after white poppies.

If you’d like to be added to the wait list and when they’re ready for dispatch and posting we’ll let you know drop us an email at [email protected].

We still have dahlias available so get in touch if you’d like some this week as it’s likely to be our last.

It was a total joy creating Alice’s bridal bouquet. She trusted us to use the best of the season for her wedding flowers. Thank you Alice!

We’re over the moon when our couples take the time to send us their favourite photos and share kind words, it really makes our day.

“Thank you for the beautiful flowers we absolutely loved them and the bouquet got so much love!❤️”

Last call for Flowers and Tea 2024!

As the weather starts to chill off, we start to get nervous about promising a morning on the farm to pick exactly what you fancy; finish with tea and homemade cakes surrounded by our late season sunflowers. 30 Stems of just what you fancy. We’ll give you a quick tour and then leave you to it… it’s the browsing that takes the time…this is the very best season of the year to see the farm. The dahlias are in full bloom, woodpeckers are swooping across to perch in the walnut tree and mushrooms are popping up everywhere warning us it’s getting damper by the day.

See you there!

This one’s for all the dahlia lovers! We’re just busy ordering next years trial dahlias. The ones we think we’ll love and the oranges we’ll fight over whether they’re more apricot or more salmon. Roz isn’t colour blind, I am so it’s always a lively debate!

If you fancy growing some of your own. Our new fave supplier is . They’re offering an Early Bird discount. Now’s the time!

Oh and our dahlias, right in their stride. Perfect for the last hurrah of summer. Until the first frosts x

It was cold last week but luckily not so cold that our field grown flowers would be done for the year. Here’s a few photos of recent bouquets. Do get in touch if you’d like to order some for yourself or as a gift.

This last fortnight our shed has been bursting with buckets and buckets of dahlias. September is their month and they’re standing defiantly before all the growing challenges of this year.

Constant unrelenting pests have meant we lost the lions share of our white and pastel tulips in the Spring. You guessed it, the bright red ones they left alone!

Hungry slugs have taken a lot of our seedlings out, munched some dahlias repeatedly to the base and in spite of re-sowing 4 times. We are still missing some key varieties. We’re hoping for a harsh winter to kill next years slugs… but just not starting this Friday with super low night time temperatures please! 🙏

And we’re back!

For the first time since we started the wild zinnia we’ve had a holiday at the same time! Thank you to and Emily for keeping our babies alive whilst we were away.

The field was overflowing with flowers when I arrived today. A good thing too because we’ve got a very busy week ahead. Nothing like jumping in at the deep end.

So here are the first buckets picked this week.

I promised myself I wouldn’t leave it too late this year!

These beautiful ones are not standard flowers from a packet. They’re all pop up surprises which are a little bit different from what they’re meant to be! And they absolutely mustn’t be cut so they’re labelled, in fact every stem is labelled so no one coming for flowers and tea picks them, so I don’t pick them, and so they have time to set seed before the mornings turn damp and it’s too late!
