A selection of the homemade Christmas Wreaths made this year!

All made on beautiful willow bases from and with the added extra decorations from .

I feel more confident with my wreaths this year, and hey, maybe next year I'll do some wreath making classes?! (Now it's in writing I have to do it!). I'd love to see you there!

I'm nervous but excited for 2025, really thrilled to be creating bouquets and buttonholes for some wonderful couples and looking forward to where this journey takes us.

I'm going into full 2025 plan mode so I'll take this opportunity to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy, healthy and prosperous 2025 🎄🎆

Happy Friday! I've been a bit silent for the past few weeks, just taking stock and planning for Christmas and next year.

Have you ever started a project thinking, "I can definitely do this!" and when it comes down to actually completing it, it feels incredibly overwhelming and you put it off over and over again?

Well here's my nemesis... And it may not seem like a huge thing but I DIY'd it and so there were so many fiddly bits to it!

Today all the bits came together with barely a sense of humour failure all day and I'm so chuffed!

I've got ranunculus and anemones in here so I'm looking forward to seeing how they come on in a tunnel compared to outside.

This is where being a member of
is hugely helpful as many members have built their own low tunnels before and are willing to offer advice which is much appreciated!

Ranunculus!

This is the second time I'm trying to grow them. I'm doing a bit of an experiment, planting some in a low tunnel, some in pots in an unheated greenhouse and then some in an outside bed.

I soaked them for over 24 hours, not on purpose, I just ran out of time yesterday to plant them! I love how they plump up 😀

I haven't pre-spouted them, I still have some left so I may add to my experiment 😂

I've bought some corms from and some from , as much as I don't want to wish time away I can't wait to see what these look like in 2025!

I'd love to know how others grow their ranunculus and what works best, I'm hoping I'll find out what works best for my area and soil in the new year!

Happy Saturday 😊-x-

A beautiful thank you bouquet, full of seasonal flowers and foliage all grown here at Marsh Farm Flowers 😍

I've made the decision for this to be the last order of my season this year, the rain is spoiling blooms and I'm going to spend time planning for 2025!

The flower stall is being put to bed for a while BUT it will be out late November/December with festive wreaths and door swags! We'd love to see you!

I'm also taking orders for Christmas wreaths and swags, so if you would like to order one, please get in touch! 🌲

This is so exciting for a relatively new flower farmer like me, if you get a chance to read this article, please do! I'll link it in my bio!

It highlights the importance of embracing the revival of the British Flower Industry, the reduction in air miles and the environmental cost of imported flowers, the boost flower farms and florists can have to the local economy and the positive environmental impacts in terms of biodiversity.

It's really exciting to be even a small part of this and I can't wait to see what the future holds for Marsh Farm Flowers and the rest of the amazing British flower growers 🥰🌷🌹🌻🌼🪻💐

A moment for the dahlias 😍

Anyone else feeling they've been slow this year? Think I might have pinched mine out too soon earlier in the year but not sure that's a thing? Could I have halted their growth by pinching too early?

Swipe for a very patient doggo 🐶🐕🐾🥰

I had to have a reference for the size of this beautiful dinner plate dahlia called 'Lavender Perfection' and Nels was in a perfect position snoozing in the morning sun 🌞

After all of the anticipation and excitement of yesterday this is the only photo I ended up taking!

After all of our lovely pickers had been this was a little moment of calm and Nels was out like a light, as was I early yesterday evening!

I cannot thank everyone who came to our first pick your own event enough. We had the best time meeting and chatting to everyone and it was pure joy to see everyone enjoying our flowers, and even the weather held off for the majority of the day!

An enormous thank you to who took the time to come along and take some snaps and thank goodness you did 🤣

I'm feeling very grateful for this little life 🙏💕

First year growing Potomac Snapdragons and I think I’m slightly obsessed. How could you not be?! Look at these beauties! These are ‘early sunrise’.

I didn’t know snapdragons would continue to grow after the first cut which is an added bonus. Definitely going to be adding lots more of these to the plot next year (I may need someone to hide my payment cards!).

Swipe for a lesson in why snapdragons need staking! 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣
