Fabulous flower harvest today, and the weather has been perfect for more coming out for Friday. The roses are also looking wonderful for Saturday morning’s flower club if you want to join us?
What’s available at Plantpassion this week and where can you get it from? This was the selection that went off with Dawn from @poppiespeonies in Horsell this afternoon, and Amanda @blakesofbookhamflowers has a similar selection if you are in Bookham. @solar.sisters.uk in Guildford have Jubilee posies and bunches including cornflowers and sweet williams, and Shelina at the Bishopsmead Post office had managed to sell 2 of the Jubilee posies before I got out of the door, bit has another bucketful on offer. I’m having a day off tomorrow, but i’ll be at the farm on Friday for a fully booked Pick your own, and to make any extra Friday flowers. We’re sold out of bunches this week, but can make market bouquets for delivery* or collection from the farm 10-1. #freshlypicked #locallygrownflowers #surreylife #Horsleyflorist #kt24
Looking forward to a lovely Sunny evening with friends to celebrate the teens GCSE results. There are also plenty of blue, white and green flowers and foliage picked for this week’s wedding. So all is well with the world.
Happy New Year to you all, I hope you've had a lovely day. After ignoring the New Year midnight stuff, and going to bed early, I've had an amazingly productive day, with a long walk this morning, and lots of gardening this afternoon. The greenhouse is tidied and watered and any plants that won't make it chucked away. The Hellebore border has been weeded and the leaves cut back to show the buds waking up beneath them, and since the light faded I've been making all this Spring's workshops and Flower clubs live to book (do book a place if you're interested as that's will let me buy more new Dahlias!)
I’m so excited for this new Decade, because Over the last 7 years I’ve seen the potential for the British flowers market and sustainable floristry to grow and grow, along with my flower farm. Going into my 8th season now, I’m feeling like quite a grown up business. I’m organised with my financial plan and marketing plan already well started, and I’ve reviewed last season. From today I’m taking part in the #flowerfarmerama challenge, so today’s prompt is
What was my biggest success of 2019?
Well it was a really good year, especially for selling flowers really locally to me in Horsley and Clandon, but looking back through my photos for the last year, I love the fact that ALL the wedding flowers this year were grown by team #Plantpassion. From April-October, every event that we flowered had 100% #Surreygrown flowers. To me this is the biggest success, as I’ve now got the mix right, we’re growing the right flowers for our customers in the right colours and proportions. As we make our way into the Spring, I’m going to be concentrating hard on keeping that up, and ensuring our range is beautiful, fantastic quality and just what my customers want for their #weddingflowers.
