This week on the flower farm we have been dodging the showers, wrestling with the almost constant windy days and watching our flowers in the polytunnel for the exciting first buds which hold the promise of things to come. So far this week we've spotted: our first stocks budding up, our first phacelia and calendula flowers and finally - our favourites - the first sweet pea buds. Beautiful bunches of flowers are just around the corner! 🌸

Our apologies to customers who have tried to order gift bouquets recently. Our season has not quite started yet, so we thought it would help if we posted pictures of part of the plot and polytunnel so you can see how the growing is coming along. As you can see, it's all looking quite green and the plants are beginning to grow now but there are still very few flowers in sight. As soon as we have enough flowers for bouquets we will advertise here and on Instagram. In the meantime we're crossing our fingers that the rain will stop soon as we're underwater in places on the plot!🌸

Thank you to everyone who has already put their name down for our Flower Subscriptions. We have just 2 places left for this year's deliveries, so if you are still keen to start a flower subscription with us then please do get in touch. Deliveries are fortnightly, cost either £10 or £20 and there's never a problem if you don't always want your flowers, as we always contact you before hand to check. The flowers should be starting in a few weeks so not long now! Thank you 🌸

🌸FLOWER SUBSCRIPTIONS 🌸- The weather's warming up and in a few weeks time we'll be ready to start our Flower Subscriptions again. If you'd like beautiful, fresh flowers cut from our farm and delivered straight to your door then it's time to get in touch. Deliveries are fortnightly, on a Thursday, meaning you'll have perfect flowers for the weekend. There's no commitment either, as we check before every delivery in case for some reason you don't want flowers a particular week. Bunches are either £10 or £20 and being a subscriber, you will always get some extra stems that won't be in our shop bunches. If you'd like to try our flower subscriptions then please get in touch - either by Facebook or 07402 002001. We look forward to hearing from you. Thank you 🌸

A massive thank you to all of our lovely customers who bought flowers from us over the Mothers Day weekend. We sold out of everything which was an amazing feeling and we really do appreciate everyone's support.
It's still so grey and wet outside at the moment and it's going to be a few more weeks at least until we can start cutting bucketfuls of our own lovely spring flowers, but in the meantime we're beginning to get ready for our Flower Subscriptions. These were very popular with local residents last year. We will give more details out next week about how to subscribe. Have a good week 🌸

Mothers Day Flowers ...our order book for Mothers Day bouquets is now closed - thank you to everyone who has placed an order. If you're still not sorted for a Mothers Day present then our little shop, at the farm entrance, will be open this Friday from 8am-4pm, where we will have a selection of fresh and dried flower bunches for you. All flowers have been sourced by British growers and all foliage is from our farm. There's a limited amount available and once it's gone it's gone! Hope to see some of you on Friday. Thank you 🌸

We're now taking orders for Mothers Day flowers...
It's a little early for our own flowers, but thanks to the British growers in Cornwall and Lincolnshire we are able to offer fresh flower bouquets for Mothers Day. We're making bunches of beautiful spring flowers including double tulips, narcissi and alstroemeria plus foliage and p***y willow from our plot. Priced at £12.50 or £25, we have kept the same prices as last year. These will be available for collection from our shop all day on Friday 8th March or Saturday 9th March in the morning. Delivery on these days is also possible. We have a limited number of bunches available, so please message us on Facebook or call/message 07402 002001 to place your order. Thank you 🌸

This week, as there's now over 10 hours of daylight, it's time to start sowing our hardy annuals. (These are the tough flowers that can handle a bit of cold!). We'll sow a few different types every week over the next few months to ensure that we have a constant supply of flowers throughout the season. Once sown, we leave the trays in the polytunnel to germinate. Hardy annuals are the main work horse of our flower farm through the summer months and so getting them started now is very important. Hopefully they'll give us hundreds of beautiful flowers to harvest later this year. 🌸

Happy Valentines Day ... and as you can see there's not a red rose in sight here at Barnfield Blooms! This is the reality of being a British flower farmer - we do not have any home grown flowers available on February 14th. Instead, we have a flower plot full of the promise of the season to come. So we'll keep on with our weeding, sowing and tidying and wait for spring to arrive. Hopefully not too long now. 🌸

My lovely companion this week during quiet times out on the plot! Apparently, the robin is a symbol of good luck and happiness. I'm also one of the many people who love to believe that they are a messenger for lost loved ones. He's probably only there for the tiny worms and grubs I'm unearthing in the big clear up outside but I love it when he's around. Wishing you all good luck and happiness this week x🌸

This week we've been taking care of our autumn sown annuals that have been sitting in our poly tunnel all over the winter. It's tempting with these milder days to start thinking of planting them outside but you never know what weather February is going to give us! So for the time being we're watering and feeding and keeping them safely protected just in case. Not too long now though until the days start to get noticeably longer...spring is just around the corner! 🌸

*** We have now SOLD OUT of the p***y willow. Thank you to everyone who ordered. *** Exciting news...because of the milder temperatures this week, the first crop of the season is ready - our beautiful pink p***y willow! Treat the stems just as you would a cut flower and watch the buds open in the vase. Slowly over time they fade and become a lovely pale silvery colour, Once the water in the vase has dried out the stems will dry and they will last indefinitely.
If you'd like to order a bunch we're selling 10 long stems for £10. Just message us or call 07402 002001 to arrange either collection from the farm or delivery if you are local. Thank you 🌸

With beautiful blue skies above the flower plot, this week so far has been mainly about planning for the season ahead and a bit more tidying! The freezing temperatures mean that very little can be done on the outside beds, but we are going to be planting our autumn sown sweet peas into the polytunnel this week. These will give us an early crop of my favourite flower - and I know a favourite of lots of our customers too. They were flowering by the end of April last year so only 3 months to wait!! 🌸

A belated Happy New Year to all of our followers and customers. We are looking forward to 2024 and the exciting plans we have for Barnfield Blooms this year. Each week we'll give you a little update about what we're up to on the farm and let you know when our flowers are available. This week's picture was taken yesterday and is of our main flower plot. It's looking really tidy. Let's hope it stays that way! 🌸

After two lovely days of opening the shop for our local customers, we finished the weekend with a stall at Faversham Christmas market on Sunday. It was fun - if quite rainy at times!
We'd just like to say once again a massive thank you to all of our wonderful customers who came to buy our flowers over the weekend or who have bought fresh flowers over the past year. We've said it before, but genuinely without your support our little local business would not exist. We wish everyone of you a lovely, peaceful Christmas. Thank you x 🌸
