Wreath making has begun in earnest here at GDFC HQ!

If you would like to get your hands on a 99% compostable* wreath, all with British grown foliage, please do let me know as I only have limited availability. As you can see, all of my wreaths are one of a kind, and come with a beautiful hand-died velvet ribbon too.

I will be selling wreaths at the Hampstead Norreys Candlelit Market this weekend, but you can also get your hands on one via the website (link in bio), with delivery to the local villages too.

*The only thing non-compostable at home, is the binding wire (which can be removed). You could even hold on to the British-grown willow wreath base for next year's wreaths too!

Just two weeks since my last wedding of the year ❤️

I don't usually take on weddings this late in the season (the will-they, wont-they of the flowers being good enough as the weather worsens and the nights draw in makes it super stressful!), but for a local couple, how could I say no? Especially as their brief was 'seasonal hedgerow' - finding the variety of colours and textures available at this time of year was wonderful.

Congratulations to Natalie & Alex, I hope you have had a wonderful two weeks of married life thus far!

If you are planning a wedding for 2025, do let me know as I still have a few spaces available. I can provide full floristry services, DIY flowers buckets, or as N & A had, a mixture of both!

Love love 💕

This weekend saw my final wedding of the year. A wonderful seasonal hedgerow theme - right up my street!

If you are planning a wedding in the next year or two, please do get in touch as I would love to hear from you!

The days are getting shorter and the blooms are coming less thick and fast, but they're hanging on!

Plans for next year's fresh flowers are already well underway with a greenhouse full to bursting with hardy seedlings and a vast quantity of spring bulbs to get in the ground as soon as possible next month.

If you would like to receive some of these fresh blooms next year, why not consider one of our flower subscriptions? They provide fresh, chemical-free and locally grown flowers for you to enjoy at home, without lifting a finger! And come with more character, variety, scent and wiggliness than you can find in the supermarket too! They also make excellent gifts for those people who you really can't think what to buy for.

Exciting change is afoot, so join the journey!

A symptom of this mild and wet year we have been having - vivipary in my poppies (also in my wrinkled cress)!
This is when the seeds germinate while still attached to the plant. These two poppy heads had escaped my secateurs as they became hidden under a rampaging thistle, hence the seeds remaining unharvested.
Discovered whilst clearing the beds this afternoon.

That's a wrap for my flower subscription service this year.

Thanks so much to all of my loyal customers! Subs are a huge part of my business.

If you would like to have a flower subscription for next year, these are now live on the website! You can choose from delivery every week, fortnight or month, from the first Friday of April 2025. Link in bio.

One of my very dear friends got engaged this week...

And it reminded me of the beautiful celebration that Niamh and Tom threw for their wedding this summer. I loved being a small part of your special day!

One of the many things I love about flowering weddings is that no two weddings are the same. I get so inspired by my wedding couples!

Niamh and Tom wanted loads of colour, which is very much up my street. This was great fun!

Thanks to for the gorgeous photos and for the freelance help, and for the beautiful venue! And of course, to for trusting me with your wedding flowers ❤️

Pre-orders are now open for the limited Christmas Wreaths I will be making this year!

All ingredients are locally grown and other than the teensiest bit of wire (which will rust down in a year or two anyway), are all home-compostable too!

Order yours at the link in my bio
(For some reason I can no longer link the website products to install?! - anyone know why?!)

The decidedly autumnal weather has got me thinking about seasonal wreaths!

If you would like a bespoke winter wreath this year, please do get in touch early as space is limited.

I will be delivering winter wreaths locally from the last week of November.

You can place your order online at www.greendoorflowers.co.uk

Alternatively if you cannot wait that long, please get in touch for an Autumn wreath!

Thanks for supporting your local flower farm!

Out of Office

I will be OOO for the next month, hanging out with my new sprout.

Subs and booked weddings aside, please expect a delay to replies in September, and I will not be taking any bespoke orders at this time.

Happy Mum x

It was such a pleasure to flower N & T's wedding at today. I hope they had the most amazing day.

This was exactly the colour palette I love as it really celebrates the true joy of late summer flowers!

Huge thanks to for her freelance assistance and to and for helping to supply these gorgeous blooms. It is so nice to be able to work with local small businesses that work to the same ethos as myself.

Wishing N & T the happiest life together ###

I can't wait to see the official photos!

Friday Subs!

This is possibly my second to last delivery before I start my maternity leave!

As a result of baby, if you normally receive your deliveries monthly, or are expecting a delivery on the 6th Sept, please note that I will be sending YOUR DELIVERY NEXT FRIDAY (30th August) instead of the first Friday of the month, in order to give myself some time with my brand new Bambino. If you are going to be away, just DM me so I can rearrange.
(This is on the proviso that I haven't had baby early!).

Thanks so much for the wonderful support from my subscription customers - this was my first year of doing subs properly, and I have loved it. Thank you ###
