British grown blooms in eco-friendly packaging, delivered straight to your door
(15)
I love growing Godetia. It's vibrant pink ruffles are so easy to grow, and it makes an excellent cut flower. Finally a wee spot of good weather again here in Ayrshire, time to get out into the garden for a few hours.
What's your favourite flower to grow?
Evening everyone, how are we all? I feel I've been a bit absent on social media lately.
It's been a slow few weeks here for me at WilderBlooms. Which has been a little disheartening for the business, but at the same time has given me plenty of opportunity to crack on with some DIY at the new house.
I have just 4 bunches left available for delivery tomorrow, please give me a message as soon as you can if you'd like one ❤️
I won't be delivering to Troon (KA10) this week unfortunately. But please remember I can now post these anywhere in the UK aswell (would arrive on Saturday)

All other deliveries will be going ahead as normal! Postal and all other local deliveries.
This decision is due to The Open, with all the traffic restrictions in place, and it only to get busier as we head into the weekend. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.
This affects anyone with a KA10 postcode

Off to a very good start with the no dig bed. Approximately 3m x 5m. Compost layed over cardboard, then to be covered with heavy duty landscape fabric.
I avoid plastics wherever possible, but advice I've recieved time and time again regarding flower farming is a good quality, heavy duty landscape fabric really does make everything so much easier. While it's made of plastic, if cared for properly will last for upwards of a decade. Saving on labour weeding, and insulating the soil below to get a head start with the spring growth.
This will be the left to rot down over the winter. Smothering the grass underneath, and creating a new flower and veg patch.
This option is a little more costly as you need to lay compost/topsoil over the cardboard, but i think it's worth it when saving on the back breaking labour of removing the turf and digging a patch this large by hand.
Have you done no dig bedding before? I'd love to hear your thoughts/ any tips or tricks to maintaining this sort of patch in the long term. 😊

Exciting news 💐🏡
I've been a bit absent on social media this week because I got the keys to my new home!!
One thing I am absolutely thrilled about for the business is that is has a huge garden, meaning I can really get stuck into the flower farm side of things again next year as I've been unable to this year due to lack of growing space and have relied heavily on some very talented local growers.
I've spent every spare waking minute this week doing DIY or in the garden prepping and am exhausted, but so happy.
But don't worry. Friday deliveries are still going ahead as usual 😊❤️
Evening all, I have two £20 bunches available for delivery tomorrow (plus delivery fee).
Send me a message if your interested.
Thanks ❤️
What miserable weather ☔ hard to believe it's July when it's like this! But I have just the thing to brighten up your week.

💐 This week's bunches 💐
I honestly love this one. We are finally getting into summer now and the blooms are really showing it.
Two of my Ayrshire growers are on holidays this week, leaving my own pickings a bit sparse. I decided to bulk out my bunches this week with some grown by Stem and Green (a flower farmer who's blooms I have admired for a while now) down in Wi******er, and honestly, I am blown away by the quality.
Orders need to be in by 7pm tonight for UK shipping, or 7pm tomorrow for Ayrshire delivery. So get your orders in soon ❤️❤️❤️

The very core of what I do is sustainability. It's why I started WilderBlooms in the first place. I wanted a convenient and easy way for people to buy bunches of flowers grown locally. The business is definitely expanding a bit with the introduction of UK delivery, but every decision I make always has sustainability and protecting the environment in mind.
Head over to the website www.wilderblooms.co.uk/blog to read this week's post "What are sustainable flowers?"
And while you're there, remember that UK wide delivery is now live. Orders must be in by 7pm tomorrow (Wednesday) for UK delivery, or 7pm Thursday for Ayrshire delivery on Friday.
I was going to wait til Monday to post this but I just got a little too excited. The feedback on the trials has been fantastic. A couple petals lost, a couple of thirsty flowers, but all in all, arrived intact and recipients happy with them. (a couple have even asked about ordering in future!)
So without further ado, I'm proud to annouce that you are no longer limited to Ayrshire. WilderBlooms now ships anywhere in the UK by 24 hour postage at £4.99
www.wilderblooms.co.uk
If you fancy helping me out then share this post and help me spread the word further afield than Ayrshire
Thank you all again from the bottom of my heart for your help getting my little business to this point. Onwards and upwards! Sustainable flowers for all
Happy Friday everyone! 🎉
I have a small favour to ask. I've been working my butt off this year, and have even more work ahead with my currently nationwide shipping trial underway .
If you have ordered/received flowers from me in the past few months and haven't left me any reviews I would really appreciate the feedback.
Reviews are super useful to small businesses like mine. They help others see that people have used my services before and what to expect.
You can leave a Facebook review on this page
Or on my Google business page

Summer is slowly kicking off now. And this £20 bunch is about to find itself shipped across the UK tomorrow as part of a nationwide delivery trial!!! 😮
EDIT: ALL TRIAL PLACES HAVE BEEN TAKEN
I have some big news. 🎉
I've been toying with nationwide delivery for a while. I've done a few test runs in the background here, but now I need the impartial feedback of people who aren't my friends 😂
There will be 5 test bunches going out this week (Friday delivery) for the tiny price of £10 each. (£20 bunch of flowers and £4.99 24 hour postage).
HOWEVER
You/your recipient must meet the following criteria:
-Recipient of the flowers must live outside Ayrshire, but within the UK
-Recipient must have access to a computer/mobilephone/tablet and be savvy enough with technology to help me
-Recipient must fill in a short survey regarding the quality of their flowers post-transit and send photos
If you fit these criteria, or would love to send flowers to someone else who does. Please send me a message ASAP as these will be first come first serve.
Fingers crossed for a successful trial 🤞
Not the most aesthetic photo, but this growing season has been a nightmare so far.
Here's some feverfew (and one limonium) I planted out over 4 weeks ago. I honestly don't think they have grown since I planted them out.
To be totally honest with you, I did start them late. I did use some pretty awful compost that I certainly won't be using again, and half of them did get munched by slugs in infancy. But that's not explaining why they haven't grown in over a month.
The more I talk to other growers and gardeners locally the more I am glad to hear that it's not just me and that everyone is having a very difficult growing season this year with the weather.
It makes me all the more thankful for the wonderful people around me with larger plots and more experience than I that are keeping WilderBlooms afloat with their locally grown blooms while my own little patch struggles along ❤️❤️
Dont get me wrong though. We have plenty of blooms available for delivery on Friday 21st June. And keep your eyes peeled as I have an exciting opportunity to present you all with tomorrow 👀
I regret to inform you all that I won't be doing deliveries this week (Friday 14th June). I am unable to dedicate the time required to picking and arranging this week due to family commitments. Hope you understand, and apologies to anyone affected by this.

Bunch of the week:
Still not quite figured out how to take good photos yet. Cause I look at the bunch in front of me and I love the way it looks. I take a photo and it just looks a bit flat/ not as good 😢
There's been quite a few orders already this week so I probably only have a few more mixed bunches left. So if your planning to place and order I would get it in soon.
Still plenty of scope for jam jars though
I also have foxgloves at £1.50 a stem

Finding was of neatly attaching care instructions and business cards to my bunches of flowers was difficult, and I was opting for staples. Last week I discovered the "Staple-less Stapler" and it is now an integral part of my packaging set up. I'm probably way more excited about this than most people, but i just thought it was such a brilliant idea. No waste, don't need to remember to buy staples. AND most importantly It now means wilderblooms packaging is officially 100% biodegrable. Be that in your compost bin or in landfill. All my packaging will break down within a year without poisoning the Earth. And i think that's something to celebrate #sustainability #sustainableflowers #sustainablefloristry #britishflowers #ecofriendly #flowers #flowerfarm #floristry
When I started WilderBlooms I knew a priority for me was to keep my waste minimal. So often you see flowers presented in lavish boxes and bags, with glitter, polythene water bubbles, and polyester ribbons. Now that's not to say these can't be gorgeous, or that people don't reuse or recycle what they can. But realistically, it will ultimately end up in landfill. With this knowledge in mind I have strived to make sure my packaging is simple and biodegrable. But I just felt it was too simple before and needed a bit of a glow up, to bridge the gap between being simple and reducing waste, but also being aesthetically pleasing for gifting. So may I present my new packaging! What do you think? With the new packaging we have: kraft paper, tissue paper, jute twine, paper tape and finished off with a logo stamp. (I currently use a stapler to attache flower care and business cards, but looking to replace this very soon) Can be home-composted (except staple) Recycled (except jute) But importantly, everything biodegrades if it ends up in landfill. One less thing on your mind 🥳 #floral #flowers #flowerfarm #scottishflorist #floristry #floristayrshire #beautiful #aesthetic #lifeisbeautiful #lifestyle #happy #handtiedbouquet #fyp #locallygrown #localflowers #buylocal #sustainableflowers #sustainability #ecofriendly #britishflowers #scottishflowers #scotland #love #viral #trending #nature #reducereuserecycle #plasticfree
I planted 946 seeds today in my tiny greenhouse (5ft x 5ft). I think people probably assume I have some huge operation going on here behind the scenes, but it's literally just me, scraping by, in my tiny plastic greenhouse weighed down with bricks 🫠 I found out a few weeks ago my current growing plot is secure til September (I thought i was losing in June, so now I'm rushing to start seeds to fill it with summer flowers for you all that will all bloom before September 😂 #ayrshiregrown #scottishflowerfarm #flowers #flowerfarm #scottishflorist #floristry #floristayrshire #ayrshireflowers #springtime #gardening #greenhouse #fyp #grownnotflown #scotland #womenownedbusiness
These gigantic 'Darwin hybrid' tulips a truly a spectacle. - they are larger than my fist - flattened they would be larger than a side plate. I love these tulips. They are some of the first flowers I sold as WilderBlooms last April. Sadly, as all gardeners and farmers will know. There's always something trying to foil you at every step. Be it pests, disease or weather. This year it was rats!! I planted 120 of these in October and shortly after flooding drove a family of rats out the fields and into the terrace of cottages I live in. Rats in the walls, loft and even my kitchen 🫠. I didn't even notice until February that my flower bed was full of tunnels and only 15 of these giant tulips were emerging 😢 So sadly I won't be selling them this year. Keeping them for my own enjoyment. Maybe I will have more luck with them next year 🤞 #ayrshire #flowers #seasonalflowers #britishflowers #seasonalflorist #ayrshireflorist #kilmarnock #troon #ayr #shoplocal #love #tulips #giantflower #grownnotflown #gardening #sustainableflowers #happy #fyp
Tomorrow is my first market stall for WilderBlooms and honestly I'm a bit nervous. There are pros and cons to working from home but today it is a riot in here, absolute chaos. I can't prepare all my stock in advance, I have to do all my arranging the day before. Also I have absolutely no idea how much stock to bring. Will people buy it? Have I got too much? The carpet is soggy, and my back hurts. Having a dedicated workspace would help. But at least I have the tele on in the background and endless cups of tea. Come down to the Marine Hotel in Troon, Ayrshire tomorrow and say hi, help ease my nerves. I will be there between 11am and 4pm. Also it's inside so perfect indoor activity for this stormy weekend. There's loads of other talented local makers there, everything from candles to soaps to jewellery to gin. So come have a browse. #sustainableflowers #sustainablefloristry #britishflowers #floristayrshire #ayrshiregrown #ayrshiresmallbusiness #scottishflorist #grownnotflown #ayrshireflowers #springtime #springflowers #hellebores #ayrshire #tulips #love #narcissi #handmadeinscotland #handmadeinayrshire #trending #flowers #ecofriendly #local #ayrshiremarket #handmade #localflowers #local
Seasonal bunches to me means what grows in the UK at this time of year. So this week's bunches are tulips and iris, grown in Norfolk, and catkins and birch foliage collected by me here in Ayrshire. These gorgeous bunches are a vibrant prequel to the vast variety that's going to be available over the summer. What summer blooms are you looking forward to the most+
A few things Stocks, carnations, feverfew, statice and Godetia. Wish them luck 🤞
These flowers all grew in the UK in March. And i know exactly where they were picked. Have you ever stopped to consider where your flowers came from? What country they grew in? And how they got to the UK? You'll have a hard/impossible time if you try to find out... There's a growing movement of sustainable floristry in the UK at the moment. Florists who work with flowers that grew in the British climate, as locally to your home town as possible and im one of them. Hello Ayrshire, Scotland👋 What sets WilderBlooms apart from traditional florists: 1. I use compostable packaging such as paper, twine and natural fabrics. And for larger arrangements I use alternatives to traditional plastic floral foam such as chicken wire, moss and wool. 2. I skip the air miles and don't import flowers from abroad and work truly seasonally. All the flowers grew in the UK at that time of year. 3. I don't use preservatives or pesticides on the blooms I grow myself, and neither do my suppliers. 4. My suppliers are all small, independent businesses here on the UK. There are no flowers if we don't support the planet, soils and climates in which they grow. If we kill the pollinators, and pollute the water supplies with microplastics.

It boils down to three main things: 1. You're paying for flowers, not packaging: - flowers are a luxury good. I'm charging industry standard and i still have to double take at the price of them sometimes. The least I can do for you all is charge you less for the packaging your about to throw out once they reach their destination! 2. Sustainability is my mission: - it doesn't matter if its recyclable or biodegradable, it's ultimately a manufactured good designed to be thrown away! I use high quality kraft paper to protect your flowers in transit, and jute or 100% cotton ribbon to secure this in place. 3. The flowers should be the star of the show: - this is self explanitory 🥰
