Been a bit quiet on socials purposely whilst my’s head been elsewhere.
Today though ‘head’ firmly back in the game thanks to hubster & the lovely Liz, we’ve cleared a load of annual beds in the fields & covered ready for the Winter.

Hopefully if the weather holds we’ll get a bit more completed tomorrow /Thursday, then Friday sees us head over to the lovely where we’ll be busy dressing/styling the Hall ready for their Artisan Show starting on the 7th November… more info to follow.

Keep you posted !

So as our flower season draws to a close, it felt only fitting that our last blooms this year were saved to send my lovely Dad on his final send-off.
Filling his old gardening boots with beautiful Dahlias & helped out by Paula (Newark) with additional blooms. Dad’s floral tributes were bright & colourful just like him ❤️
Fly high Dad… hope there’s plenty of red wine 🍷 up there for you xx

I will be a little ‘out of the office’ for a while following the sudden death of my lovely Dad yesterday.

Thank you for bearing with me whilst I process things & support our family 💔

Farewell….. for a lady who just loved the countryside and the nature around her.
She also loved making jam… so we’ve added in some blackberries as we know she would have picked these on her walks with her husband.

This is what personal floral farewells are about… listening to loved ones so we can capture someone and their loves, simply and respectfully.

We specialise in eco-friendly arrangements, created on bark along with moss.

DM for more information.

So as we close the door on 2024 we reflect on the year. I’m not gonna lie it had its challenges.. starting in January with chest infections & gastric flu which rendered us housebound for a few weeks. Then the WEATHER, Boy the wettest spring I think we’ve ever known. If this was our first year flower farming, I think we might have jacked it in. In the Autumn I said a sudden goodbye to my lovely Dad (who I adored 🪽 ) & if truth been known I’m still processing this & grieving his loss & doing all the death shizzle! But on the up side…… …..We’ve attended many plant markets & artisan shows, flowered weddings, farewells & parties. Supplied florists and hosted PYO. We go into 2025 with big plans, exciting stuff, so keep watching this space & follow us to see ‘what’s occurring’!! Sorry shameful Christmas pun!! A huge thanks to everyone that has & continued to support our little businesses buying flowers, plants & herbs, without you, we wouldn’t exist. 2025……Looking Forward 🌸

No apologises… when in Rome & all that !!

My lovely little Mom used to work a few days with us in the Flower Farm until 3 years ago. Now every year instead she comes & makes her Christmas wreath in the studio & we spend a few hours faffing with foliage & festive things, followed by a chippy dinner… creating our own little tradition! #flowersfromthefarm #britishblooms #retfordflowers #britishseasonalflowers #nottinghamshireflowerfarm

Haddon Hall Mercatum Day 10 Enjoy a gorgeous day of Christmas loveliness 🎄 #haddonhall #haddonhallartisanmarket #haddonhallmercatum #haddonhallwintermarket

Totally in love with our Dahlias this year… what’s not to like eh? #dahlias #Britishblooms #flowersfromthefarm #retfordflowerfarm #retfordflorist #nottinghamshireflowerfarm #seasonalflowers #diyflowers #pickyourownflowers

A beautiful palette of whites to work with today for a Farewell arrangement. Listening to family members, who’s loved one has passed is so important to ensure the memories are captured, that’s why people choose a flower farmer or British florist. We can offer much more than simply flicking through a catalogue that many more have selected from. We offer bespoke, individual designs, reflecting on someone’s loves & who they were. Wander with me (or without) around our flower farm & let the flowers talk to you … there’s always plenty that are sure to remind you of your loved one or even what they would have selected themselves. Simply this a different more personal experience. DM for more details. #ecofarewellflowers #flowersfromthefarm #retfordflowerfarm #britishseasonalflowers #farewellflowers #whiteflowers

Lots of Statice gathering today, getting bunches strung & hung to dry in the studio. My lovely hubby has had to put more wires up to cope with the demand… don’t feel too sorry for him though… he’s earning some brownie points for a ‘faux par’internet purchase… let’s just say £££££££ !! Big wire sieve drying petals for confetti too

Each week just gets busier! Lots of florists buckets cut & delivered, PYO appointments in, orders completed & more enquiries taken, on-top of prepping for @stauntonartisan show which takes place this Saturday & Sunday day. Busy is our current state of play… but makes us thrive! #britishblooms #seasonalbritishflowers #flowersfromthefarm #pickyourownflowers #floristsbucketsofflowers #dahlias #summerflowers #retfordflowerfarm #nottinghamshireflorist #stauntonharold

So honoured to be asked back to the lovely surroundings of Staunton Harold. Such a glorious setting & full to the brim with very talented creators, makers & artisans. We will have a great selection of summer perennials & kitchen garden herbs all grown by us & Joanna will have gorgeous British seasonal flower bunches, again all grown not flown 🌺 along with garden accessorises. And we guarantee blue skies & sunshine ☀️ what more could you ask for?

Dahlia’s….I’m embarrassed to admit I haven’t always been a fan. Can’t say that now ! #dahlias #dahliaseason #dahlialove #flowersfromthefarm #retfordflowerfarm

Bright bouquets 💐 still the order for today

Wednesday … Wowzers!! Busy, Busy, Busy! Great supplying one of our Sheffield Florists, thanks to my long suffering Hubby Baz… Aka Floristry Bitch! #britishblooms #flowerfarmer #flowersfromthefarm #seasonalflowers #weddingflowers #diybucketsofflowers #pastelblooms #retfordflowerfarm
