Flower drop in Eaglesham VGC Eaglesham today flower lovers, campanula, allium and chamomile bunches for the summer solstice! Available today until Saturday or until they are all gone, go get em!

Read on for some tips on how to look after your flowers when you get them home:

✅ Wash your vase thoroughly
✅ Remove flowers from the paper wrap and cut the raffia tie
✅ Cut the ends at an angle to your desired length with a sharp pair of flower scissors (sharp so that you cut don’t crush)
✅ Remove any leaves which will sit below the water line
✅ Fill right up to the top so the flower stems are plenty submerged
✅ Fill the water when it lowers, keeping it well topped up
✅ Replace the water when it starts to become cloudy
✅ Remove any spent flowers from the vase as they go (not all flowers will decline at the same time)
✅ Recut the stems after a few days to extend the vase life
✅ Display in pride of place and give them lots of compliments

❌ Display in direct sunlight
❌ Display next to radiators, heat sources or steam (candles, fires, bathrooms, next to kettles and cookers)
❌ Display next to fruit
❌ Leave them in the car, a shopping bag, or out of water for too long
❌ Forget to top up the water
❌ Use any flower food, bleach or sugar (these are myths and our flowers don’t like synthetics)
❌ Forget to compliment them and tell them how beautiful they are

Enjoy!

Japan’s unique insight and deep reverence for nature and the interconnectedness of humans and the natural world has always been a great inspiration. A few years ago I discovered the traditional Japanese seasonal calendar and its 72 "microseasons". Delve into this nuanced calendar of microseasons and experience a poetic celebration of seasonal change via the link below. Why don’t you even make your own set of microseasons?

I recently discovered the traditional Japanese seasonal calendar and its 72 "microseasons". In ancient Japan, the year was divided into 24 periods based on Chinese agrarian culture and its requirement for a more nuanced calendar which was based on lunar and solar events. In 1685, the Chinese 24-seas...
