The Ledbury Flower Farmer

22/06/2025

British flowers week is a week when we are able to really show case nationally what we do as small business men and women growing seasonal flowers the length and breadth of the country.

But how do you get involved with British flowers and why buy British flowers.

The website has a find flowers button where you can pop in your postcode and find your local grower.

As well as cut flowers I also offer experiences like pick your own flowers and floral workshops. You can book a day to suit you for if you have an event such as a hen do or birthday party. I love to do tours and have shown many a WI or gardening group around followed by tea and cake with a quick flower arranging demonstration. The link to my website and workshops for your floral and creative downtime is at the top of my page.

But why British flowers?
My flowers are grown naturally with the season and no chemicals or sprays of any kind. I create habitat for birds, my lovely big hedgehog, toads in my polytunnel and I have an owl box too.

I provide employment for 2 people every week and have contractors in for strimming and the building improvements that I am doing. My growing infrastructure is purchase through other local businesses and so your pennies for the flowers are spent locally and they keep the local economy going.

Environmentally there are no air miles, few road miles and I’m very carbon footprint aware and save everything from seeds and carefully reuse all pots and seed trays. I catch all of the rain water that I can and take the very best care of my soil and its important ecosystem.

Buying from your local grower is great for the environment and your local economy too.
(Also the talk of a happy dance! Yes that really happens when orders are placed!)

Thank you, Rozanne xx 💐 🌱 🐦‍⬛

The Ledbury Flower Farmer has new beds this year and ten of them are dedicated to PYO flowers.

16 - 22nd June is British flowers week and if you would like to come and have a look at the new areas and at what is flowering I have a tour on Tuesday evening. We will see all parts of the flower farm and how I grow the flowers.

I am also offering a pop up PYO flowers on Wednesday evening. PYO is £30 for 30 stems of your choosing from the 150m of PYO flower beds. At the moment the annual delphiniums are flowering with the cornflowers, sweet peas, snaps dragons and floaty cow cockle. On their way are dahlias, cosmos, Queen Anne’s lace and favourites for drying - strawflowers and statice in a huge range of colours. PYO opens officially in July but you can come for an early pick this coming week.

If you would like to learn how to make a hand tied spiral bouquet beautifully gift wrapped too then you can join the floral workshop on Sunday 22nd. There is so much to look forward to this year for British flowers week.

British Flowers week is being celebrated this year from 16th to 22nd June. Here’s your guide to everything you need to know about it.

British Flowers Week is over 10 years old and was set up by New Covent Garden Flower Market to champion the UK’s cut flower industry, celebrating growers, wholesalers, and florists who work with British-grown flowers. now run .flowers.week and the theme of this years event is Flowers For the Future.

There will be a range of activities taking place all over the UK including flower flashes, pop-ups, window displays, farm tours, collaborations, sustainable floristry workshops, and many more.

16 to the 22nd of June is British flowers week.
I have a number of events where you can come and get hands on with the flowers.

I am going to have an early pop up pyo flowers on Wednesday 18th from 6.30-8.30pm. You can come and wander snips in hand and cut your choice of seasonal blooms.

To round the week off I have a workshop where we will create and beautifully wrap a seasonal bouquet of freshly picked flowers. All tuition and materials are included with some tea and cake. This is 9.30-11.30 in the morning on Sunday 22.

British flowers are all the talk of the town and so they should be with their scent and beauty. Come and join in with the fun, I look forward to showing you around.

The flower farm is 1 mile from Ledbury, what 3 words is paddocks.bother.blossom as the postcode isn’t accurate.

It was only a week ago that I was able to represent with other florists at RHS Chelsea when they won a gold medal for their gorgeous display of sustainably arranged funeral flowers.

Since coming home I have created 2 different funeral flowers arrangements. One was made up of 6 different sized bunches and the other of jam jars in a basket. I also delivered this one with 7 small bunches for the grandchildren to place on the coffin. The jam jars were going to be used at the memorial afterwards and then taken home by family members.

Next week I have a wreath to make. There are many different designs that you can choose from or we can create something that you may have in mind.

After a wonderful 24 hours in London for RHS Chelsea show with the Farewell Flowers directory I was home and straight into picking.

I had 2 DIY weddings, one at the lovely and I’ve seen some photos of the bouquets arranged by my bride who did a great job. I’ve also had some florist orders heading out and the flowers are looking well and revived after the bit of rain that we have had.

There has also been a small article in the by Will Luker which was nice.

Will has been a busy bee and written some more.
I’m back from RHS Chelsea flower show now with the farewell flower directory where they had a gold medal and we spoke to people about the importance of sustainable arrangements and choice.
I didn’t think I’d be doing all of these things 5 years ago!!
This year the flower farm has had its biggest expansion yet with some really exciting developments that I will be revealing in the next month or two.

A HEREFORDSHIRE farmer is celebrating a full five years of growing her own flowers.
