We rarely pick flowers for the house these days, so this freshly picked handful plonked into vases is like a breath of fresh air!

17/08/2024

Due to the lovely weather and the profusion of flowers on the farm - you can now come and pick your own flowers in the evenings on Thursdays and Fridays until 7.00 and on Sunday mornings from 10.00.

Please book on the website and we look forward to welcoming you!

Mid week flowers awaiting collection for a DIY wedding - can’t wait to see the pictures from the special day!

28/07/2024

It really was a lovely day for the Thames Hospice Open Garden - meeting old friends and lots of new faces. A big thank you to all who came.

25/07/2024

We are hosting an Open Garden on Saturday 27 July 10.00 - 4.00 at Micklems Farm, Knowl Hill RG10 9YD and would love it if you could come.

24/07/2024

Getting married on a flower farm certainly creates lots of photo opportunities!

17/07/2024

Quick reminder about our Open Garden on Saturday 27 July for the Thames Hospice. We are open from 10.00 - 4.00 and will be serving tea, coffee and cake. There will be a small plant sale and fresh cut bouquets to purchase. It would be great if you could come along and support this wonderful charity. Hope to see you then!

Big preparations happening here on the farm for a special event next weekend. Flower prep starting soon for a major floral display and the flowers don’t have far to travel! Here’s hoping there will be blue skies…

Bud vase displays for event at Henley Regatta - all straight from the garden.

We have been really busy for the last few weeks flowering up weddings. This Lychgate in Waltham St Lawrence is a firm favourite of ours which we have decorated several times now - it makes such a beautiful entrance to the 13th century church.

Our first sunflower.🌸 This is Pro Cut Plum, we also grow Mrs Mars and Ruby Eclipse for all the pink vibes and we even have a few yellow ones!

The Belvedere rose is in its full glory on the front of the house - it’s never flowered like this before so it must have loved all the rain we had earlier in the year.

Can’t beat a freshly cut vase of flowers, eating a delicious barbeque, sitting with family on a warm summer’s evening by a crystal clear chalk steam. Eastbury is the most beautiful village.

A stunning choice of flowers made this wedding a dream to work on. A single champagne rose with trailing ribbons for the bride and bridesmaids (offset by the bridesmaids black dresses) and a single rose for the groom and groomsmen.

Just spotted this colourful combination of poppies and borage looking lovely against a blue sky.

Early morning wedding prep is the best!

We are celebrating British Flowers Week this week and although many of our flowers have been delayed by such a wet Spring, our flower pickers are managing to fill some beautiful bucketfuls using imaginative foraging techniques.

On a positive note our dahlias are coming into flower! Obviously lovers of wet weather (having managed to survive slug attack when they first emerged).

🌸

02/06/2024

You can’t beat a bit of early morning sunshine!

26/05/2024

A lovely selection of flowers by one of our ‘pick your own’ visitors yesterday. Quite a few of our flowers have been delayed this year due to the wet weather we have had, but we are excited by the prospect of warmer weather and some sunshine and a greater profusion of flowers to come!

Welcoming committee at the entrance to the studio - Pudding doesn’t like to miss an opportunity for a stroke!

13/05/2024

The aquilegia have gone crazy this Spring. Some people say that aquilegia are promiscuous as they are not that picky about their ‘pollen partners’ which I think is a bit harsh! We have all colours spread around the garden and have never planted a single one. Big congratulations to the aquilegia…

07/05/2024

The wisteria has really loved the weather this year - the scent always takes me back to my childhood as I had one growing underneath my bedroom window. I’m sure it used to flower all summer long though - now it seems like blink and you miss it!

💜 🌸

Lovely picking of delicate flowers from the garden this morning for today’s Spring florals in watercolour workshop with Helen Ridley. There is one space left if you are quick - starts at 10.00!

Happy first of the month! Rose May Gold is flowering right on cue thanks to the wonders of nature.

Canterbury Bells looking lovely in the flower press.

Our sweet rocket ‘Alba’ is doing really well this year - we’ve not grown it before. We sowed it last year as a biennial and I usually don’t have the patience from one year to the next but this was worth waiting for…

🌸

19/04/2024

It’s lovely to see them, but this is the earliest we have ever had irises in flower! Last year all our flowers were delayed by about 6 weeks due to the weather and this year they seem to be about 3 weeks earlier than usual - the vagaries of the English weather…

17/04/2024

I’m not sure what the collective noun is for florists but here we are - Jess, Suzie, me and Michaela in Jess’s new studio in the barn. We’re all looking forward to a bountiful year of growing and arranging beautiful flowers for you all.

A BOUQUET of florists???
