STORM WARNING! To all my lovely customers who have bought wreaths, we are in for some stormy weather so , although my wreaths are pretty robust, it might be an idea to put them in your shed/garage/ house until the storm passes. Then they should stay looking lovely into the new year.

Happy Easter! It has been a tradition in our Cotswold village to gather primroses on Good Friday for an Easter cross. My grandmother and mum, did this and ,as a child, I went with my sister and cousins to the local coppice to gather them too. We were sent off with a hot cross bun, a mushroom chip and a pocket full of onion bands to create lovely little posies of butter yellow primroses. These were then used to create the cross to hang on the pulpit on Easter Sunday. Now I pick primroses from my plot and place them on a willow and moss frame to create a fully compostable cross.
I think those childhood adventures collecting wildflowers sparked my interest in flowers and love of the humble primrose.
Do any other villages have a similar tradition? It would be great to know.

Well folks that's a wrap! It has been an extraordinarily busy festive season this year with extra workshops and garlands and installations in addition to the usual wreath orders. Thank you so much to everyone who came to a workshop, ordered a wreath, garland or trusted me to deck their halls 😃. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and a very happy new year.

I'm just going to pour myself a large glass of wine and open the chocs. For the next few weeks you will mostly find me on my sofa 😂

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! A time for getting together with family and friends for feasts and frivolity and for the giving and receiving of gifts.

We have so many wonderful, small business in our local area who will all have worked tirelessly over the last few years to keep their head above water during difficult economic times. The greatest gift you can give to them is to spend a little bit of your money with them this Christmas.

Go visit the shops on the high street. Buy your cards from a stall at a Christmas market, head to your local butcher rather than the supermarket.

At Cotswold Veg Box, we take “buying locally” very seriously. We always buy as much of our fruit and veg from local growers as we can! No, not everything we stock is grown locally (this would be impossible at this time of year) but if something is available to us, we’ll make it available to our customers.

At Christmas we also stock a range of extra items, made by local businesses in The Cotswolds.

🧀 We have a range of locally made cheeses, chutneys and crackers

☺️We have locally made Rapeseed and Truffle Oils

🧈Locally made butter

🐝 Local Honey

🥓 We can also deliver meat prepared by our local butcher.

If you’re looking for a way to get local produce onto your table this Christmas, head over to our website and have a look at what’s available.

All orders must be in before the 17th of December. We’ll deliver them direct to your door on either the 21st, 22nd or 23rd (we’ll confirm exactly when when we’ve got all of the orders on the 18th).

Christmas Wreaths delivered to your door.

https://www.cotswoldvegbox.com/shop-full/p/bumblebee-blooms-christmas-wreaths

Debbie from Bumblebee Blooms uk only uses locally grown materials to create her beautiful wreaths. Even the bases are hand woven from Willow and Dogwood grown in the cutting garden and from a local willow grower.

We offer two styles of wreath: The ‘Fully Festive’ a fully covered design and ‘Midwinter’ which is part covered to show off those lovely coloured stems on the wreath base.

Each wreath created is unique and will add style and natural beauty to your door this Christmas.
