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!

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.

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!

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 !
