Hello! As usual I had plans to post lots of work I've done throughout each season this year but here we are again! Another year later and probably 3 posts done 😅 maybe you'll get bombarded in January. For now I thought I'd show myself! Much better...
Especially as we'll have a stall again at the lovely Sparkle market at Higham Ferrer's - always a great one to kick off festivities! I took this wreath that's framing my face rather nicely to the first market we went to. I always make a new 'bigun' each year so if you'd like to see this year's come on over on the 23rd and say hello ☺️ (maybe buy a wreath too 😘)
AND while I'm here, we have a few wreath workshops I'm hosting so you guys can drink lots of warm wine and get your hands dirty to some cracking Christmas tunes! What could be more fun?!
Pop us a message or head to the web shop to book on

So this is me, Francesca, florist and gardener 👋🏻 I run Orchard Garden Flowers - a wildlife friendly and sustainable florist and mini flower farm (the farms mini, the flowers are mighty fine)

Or if you prefer to cosy up by the fire this time of year you can order one delivered straight to your door!

Swooning over every one of these dreamy photos! I'm sure you'll see them again 😍 (whenever I get round to posting!)

These beautiful people had the most glorious day shine upon them ; after nearly a full month of rain they must have felt the universe was giving their blessing through sunshine and warmth

All the love and congratulations to you both!

Blossom ..

Whether it be cherry, plum or apple (pictured here) they're so wonderfully simple - a bit like me 😅.
Their delicate flowers bunched together make the most charming display. All be it short lived. Whether this adds to their charm?
As quickly as they burst into a beautiful display, they're dropping confetti on the ground.

Because of this I avoid mentioning it to clients, I don't promise specific flowers but these especially. Very difficult if someone's planning a spring event, I think of blossom and hope come the time it'll be the best surprise.

Luckily though! It was in the perfect stage for cutting this weekend so I used some for a styled shoot I was involved with! Hurrah!
Which was a great day collaborating with some superb folk - I'll be sharing all soon

Spring is officially here!
The days are getting longer and warmer; wildlife is waking up and getting randy and the greenhouses are quickly filling up with seeds!

There's a few tips when it comes to using spring flowers in arrangements. Don't worry it sounds a lot but it's easy when you know how..

Certain plants need to be conditioned separately like your Narcissi (daffodils) and hyacinths as they release a sap when cut which can affect the vase life of other flowers. If you only want a vase of just those stems then no need to worry!
They're best plucked rather than cut from the ground as low as possible when the flowers aren't quite open yet, then put in their own bucket of water.
If you want to cut them down to a certain size do this and leave them in their own water for at least half an hour before mixing with others (don't recut or repeat the process if you do)
If you're not worried about keeping the hyacinth bulb for next year then pull the whole thing up and cut the sides of the bulb off around the stem leaving the base attached at the bottom. Keeping a 'heel' will help keep the stem straight and extend the vase life.
If you want them shorter then again condition separately before mixing, also think about using foliage or branches to support them stem.

Tulips are best cut when the flowers are in bud showing colour. They'll continue to grow after being cut so wrap them in paper and leave in water overnight to keep the stems straight. Think about placing them lower in the arrangement to compensate for the few inches they'll gain in the vase or just enjoy watching them reach new heights!
You can stunt the growth by making a small slit in the stem underneath the flower head.

Ranunculus and woody stems like tree blossoms like to go straight into warm water overnight as soon as they're cut.
Blossom should be cut while the flower buds are quite tight. They're short lived but absolutely worth it! And make great confetti if you collect the fallen petals

Hellebores should be cut when the flowers start to form seed pods, too early and they're likely to wilt.
.. Easy! 😜

Keeping it simple ..

I was going to add lots of photos of beautiful mummas with their mummas and babies but to be honest it's been a busy weekend and I'm not very organised when it comes to social media and I wanted to go see my Mum instead of sorting through photos..
I also know it can be a hard time for some for many reasons so instead here's a lovely little wrap and a chance to say a huge thanks to everyone who made an order and I hope you've all had a lovely sunny Sunday!

Who's on your team?
Well you know what they say, if you want something done right..
I am the head of all things concerning Orchard Garden Flowers and do take the credit for all things artistry and important, I'm not shy of grabbing some help and advice wherever I can though! And it's usually from one very handy, slightly camera shy man!
His help comes in many forms, moral support being the utmost and constant. Where I just need a few spare hands or want to construct something he's my go to. He's invaluable on weddings being my run around and loader/unloader - which takes up far more time than expected and also saves me turning into a sweaty out of breath mess before I've even picked up a flower.
And of course there's nothing compared to the delighted feeling when looking across the garden and spotting this smiling gentleman heading your way with a cup of tea and sandwich in hand!!
Don't get me wrong, empty handed is fine, but if you really want to make me happy.. bring food.

Who do I like to work with?
Everyone and anyone! no matter how grand or cosy your request, if you want one stem or a thousand!
As long as you appreciate true seasonality and the uniqueness naturally grown flowers have to offer (..with a little guidance, what kind of gardener would I be otherwise).
If you find the excitement in waiting to see what the final piece will bring based on colour schemes and styles we discuss. Knowing that your design doesn't come from a brochure but what the garden provides at the time!
Growing on a small holding means I don't have swathes of each variety (just yet! maybe in the future the garden will stretch it's legs) this means there's less of a guarantee on specific varieties at a certain time.
I can do all I can to protect, nurture and support plants but sometimes they just don't want to grow as planned..or at all; or those hungry rabbits might find their way past the fence and to a particularly tasty row; or there'll be a freak storm tear through the field without warning!
✓ to all of the above
Working with nature is great and sometimes a little inconvenient! But working with those who understand and appreciate is the best!

My biggest compliment of 2022
Is the same answer every year. Having return customers and new customers steered my way from recommendations speaks volumes.
Every kind word is amazing and really helps to grow my business and my confidence so if you're happy and you know it, let me know!! You can clap your hands but honestly I get bashful at just a quick compliment so a round of applause might be a bit awkward.
Customer reviews and reaching others through word of mouth is where it's at!
