Im useless i know ive not put an actual post up for probably as many days as we've not had rain which is to many, its dismal dry to hot and we desperately need some wet stuff but as much as some flowers are not enjoying themselves there are others that just keep on going and im so thankful to those.
Im lucky I have irrigation for most of my main beds but its so dry its not really touching the roots and im still having to water alot by hand, even with water the heat is cooking the flowers to a crisp from the top, it can't keep on like this surely.

It was my birthday yesterday so I treated myself to alot of beautiful echinacea im hoping they will enjoy this weather and thrive for next year. adjustments are needed, more shade netting, more beds in shaded spots, every year you over come one hurdle to be faced with another but I love a challenge and I won't be beaten, not yet anyway I still love what I do and will adapt and over come whats thrown at me.

How are you all coping with the weather ?

Hope everyone survived the heat 🥵 🔥
Lots of early mornings and the hose over my head, the plants coped far better than me.
Theres so many flowers in the field the heat has made everything pop.
The first few dahlias have started but they are a long way off being in full swing, lots more bits planted out today now its cooled down slightly and all my biennials sown and tucked away from the sun.
Everything has been weeded and preened ready for the NGS open garden yesterday which is raising money for some great causes, we had such a good turn out, so many first visits to a flower farm.
Ive also been asked alot about workshops, we are working on some great one which will be in my website soon, if there's any workshops you'd like to see please let me know.

Serious summer blooms are now here.
Im getting everything ready for open garden next Sunday 28th for the The National Garden Scheme not only for a great cause but kicks my butt into getting all those little jobs ticked off, trying to get as much planted out and out the polytunnel, zinnas went in, amaranthus Statice more sunflowers and I really need to start my biennials this week.
Im not looking forward to the heat wave coming 34 on Thursday, its going to be alot of early mornings to get everything picked and sorted the flowers will cope better than me lol.

Keep cool 😎

Exhausted but so so proud, this week has been mammoth for me.
When people ask what I do I always say im a flower farmer/ grower im not an events florist I trained in floristry basics and mainly self taught its why I decided to grow flowers for florists in the first place, to give everyone the chance to use scented unique amazing flowers.
Over the last 8 years ive done alot of weddings and events only small, just bouquets, table decorations and lots of diy buckets, im safe with that although I do love a milk churn display.
Its not that I don't want to its just being a grower means picking for florist orders for their weddings that week picking for all other orders then picking for my bride, making up that wedding set up take down and the bigger the wedding the more time this takes, time I don't have much of, thats not to mention the growing side of the flowers, the weeding grass cutting (that needs doing desperately) watering the list is endless but this week i had the best time making a giant pink broken arch and wedding flowers , thank you for letting me use your arch so sad you were ill and couldn't help but came to my rescue, I love my flowery friends who have helped me along the way, shared tips and tricks and made me feel calm when I could cry.
Also this week a big order for hayley , posies and cut stems,
Bouquet orders and baby shower flowers for
Now to get next week sorted 👌

What a scorcher, i cant wait for a cooler week and some rain its exhausting working in this weather but amazingly everything is growing great although blowing open way to quickly, I blinked and the peonies have nearly finished.

I did finally get the dahlias in the ground and pot on a load of babies ive also ordered my biennials and any perennials I want to try from seed, there's always space for somthing new.

Here's to a cooler productive week ahead

May Bank holiday the weathers absolutely gorgeous i wish I had a swimming pool lol, I will settle for the hose over my head.

What a week busiest this year and as much as I like to stay tucked away in my field the flowers have partied hard this week

Firstly my edible flowers along with made their way to to be used by to promote her new book.
Ive never been to Chelsea and always said when I get an invite for press day I will go so maybe just maybe one year that will happen but a part of me was there this year in flowers.

Then popped in to pick up flowers London bound to with and other British growers .lane

Mid week was wedding prep and the temperatures started rising which meant 5am picking, best time of the day, so many beautiful flowers picked, sunsets tones for
Festival vibes for
Pastels for

And last but not least for her diy wedding, have the best day guys.

Oh and not to forget farmshop flowers to and a few bouquets to finish me off.

Next week isn't quite so crazy but I do need to plant the dahlias out and its looking even hotter.

Happy bank holidays, its a day off and bbq I feel today

Wow the flowers are coming thick and fast, I love it, its been a busy week of weddings florists orders bouquets and farewell flowers, you can't see where ive picked as another flower pops in its place.

The first sweetpeas and roses have been picked this week and the 3rd and last lot of ranunculus is starting to flower.

The drying racks and blinds have been put up in the workshop another couple jobs ticked off the never ending list
Im feeling a pyo coming on this 9th or 10th of May, let me know which days suits everyone best and its a date

26/04/2026

How are we nearly in May, anyone else feel like the seasons flying by.
I haven't been doing weekly posts on whats flowering which is so helpful for me my brides and florists to look back on for following years and so much going on I thought id better start this Sunday.

This week has been a week for planting out everything I possibly can, making way for more seedlings and trying to get a full season of flowers.
Mostly the tulips and daffs are over but the ranunculus is looking amazing and really fills the gap of colour needed, these are grown under low tunnels are much stronger than my main tunnel grown and should keep flowering for a good month.

Very exciting news I had a book arrive in the post has written this beautiful book filled with seasonal local blooms, expert tips and great advise if you're looking for a new book i highly recommend, I love seeing if I can spot my flowers in it and knowing people across the world will be looking at mine and other local growers flowers.

Also after months of sitting in the polytunnel after being turfed out of home all my wedding glass and jugs have been washed and put away into their forever home, the workshop has such a beautiful feeling about it and getting to put things ive collected over the years into a forever home is a dream come true, still so much to do but slowly slowly the dream is becoming a reality

Have a great Sunday
