Friday Flowers for Thomas B Bonnett and Parnells Plants tomorrow 😍

The Wild Bloomers are back to school. Which means delivery to both may be a smidge later than usual tomorrow morning. We expect to be in Stoke Ferry by 9.30am and Downham by 10am give or take!

We took cuttings and rooted cuttings of some of our perennials over the last couple of months, not necessarily at the right time for doing as such, normally this would be a "stock increase" exercise, however, it was more of a "drought and no water, dying perennials" think outside of the box to try safeguard future stock to not have to repurchase/sow from seed as cuttings and seed grown take 2+ years to establish and provide some blooms.

We have still sown perennials, because it is a constant cycle and like any plant, they can and do get tired over a period of time and not all perennials are long lived - as well as aiming to increase stock too.

Not every cutting has taken, that can be common and why you propagate more than you need to allow for those that just don't want to set down roots.

Happy to report several have happy roots poking out of the base of their pots. Eventually we will pot these into 9cm pots for them to continue their root establishment for healthy plants to pop into the flower field!

Propagation has never been Mrs Wild's strong point and something she has wanted to learn and do better with, so these are little wins and gives her confidence to keep learning and increasing stock to get her perennial beds filled right up! Perennial plants dont always give second flushes, so aren't as productive as annuals, but they do provide somewhat of a backbone and gap filler and are lower maintenance overall.

The poly tunnel bench is slowly filling up. A mixture of propagated, seed sown and self setters lifted and potted. Oh and 3 happy seed sown eucalyptus 😍 we've got more of various types sown and germinated happily!

A job on the list of many, is to clean the tunnel to maximise light levels and clean away any disease spores that may be lingering 🙈.

Swoon...still not as abundant as last year, still shorter, still recovering from spider mite leaf stripping and being thrip and capsid bug buffets, wasp damage too. Some didn't eye up at all, some are still a foot tall, over a dozen have been removed, cut back and potted to hopefully save the precious tubers for next season, the damage from pest strain was just too much for some varieties it seems.

But, because there is always a but isn't there?...Appreciation for the flowers we DO have. The ones we will sigh, and swoon, and smile and then cringe when we have to cut deep 🤣.

Still watering, feeding, disbudding, damage being removed in the hopes the next flush do not succumb to pest damage.

We would love to see pics of your dahlias if you grow them!

🌸 Lovingly grown flowers, largely from seed each season, tended from seed to vase.

Over the last couple of years we have been asked for this a few times, so we are going to give it a try!!

Witches Broom Workshop
£45 per person
£20 non refundable booking fee
- Booking must be made before 30th September to ensure time for materials to be collated and broom delivery.

The workshop currently is a max of 8 people on a first come first served basis.

Your location will be Foulden Village Hall, Norfolk and we will be doing this during Ladies' Night on Saturday 11th October. Please see poster also attached.

Event time 7pm to 9.30pm
Workshop time 7.30pm to 9pm/finished.

The broom is a traditional Birch Besom Broom that is UK sourced. All dried materials have been grown and air dried by ourselves over the season, we are still drying bits weekly!

What will we be doing? Choosing from a selection of locally grown, naturally air dried blooms, arranging them as desired and then attaching them with twine to a traditional besom broom and finishing it off with ribbon for that final touch. You are welcome to also bring anything from home to add to your creation!

Please be aware; we will be in the marquee for this so dress accordingly to the weather on the day and don't forget to bring your snips/scissors. Please get in touch for more information on how to book and secure your space.

6 Doorstep Bunches available today; £10 each - we would usually be dropping with Sarah at Downham today, but she is having a much deserved week off 🥰.

Its been a while since we've had Doorstep Bunches isn't it? We didn't take enough buckets last night as we didn't expect there to be much to cut, story of the season! So this was a total happy dance moment, if you know, you know. Taking the small positives as and when they grace us this season.

Yay for some rain! 🌧 hopefully it'll perk some things up/coast them from inevitable drought induced death!!

Due to the delightfully refreshing rain, your gorgeous bunches are in the cold frame, correct pennies through the letterbox please. 🙏 be aware, the path can be slippery when wet.

If you've not been to us before, pop us a message for details ☺️.

We are nearly in September! The big C is fast approaching!

Alongside our DIY wreath kits this year, we will also be making wreath bases in bulk. Locally sourced bales, biodegradable twine and busy hands create a great eco friendly wreath base alternative to wire rings with moss or floral foam. Perhaps you're running a workshop, having friends over to make your own or run an organisation that are planning a wreath workshop this year and would like to source your bases locally?

Our Christmas wreath from last year is still looking pretty good!! On our door for 2 months, then hung haphazardly on the end of a curtain pole out of direct light ever since.

Bulk prices
10" base
1 to 10; £3.50 per base
11 to 20; £3.25 per base
21+ ; £3.00 per base

12" base
1 to 10; £5.00 per base
11 to 20; £4.75 per base
21+ ; £4.50 per base

14" base
1 to 10; £6.50 per base
11 to 20; £6.25 per base
21+ ; £6.00 per base

Please note, sizes are approximate but as close as possible for a handmade product.

Our DIY kits we are keeping at £25.00 this year! What do you get?
A 12" wreath base, wire or twine depending on preference, choose your ribbon colour from our selection, a mix of adornments (for example; orange slices, pine cones, cinnamon, dried flowers) and stub wires for attaching them. Basic instructions and after cate advice is included too. All you need to do is go snip your foliage and away you go! Perhaps with friends and family over a festive treat and drink of choice, tipple or hot chocolate?
We will post more about these in due course - a couple of examples from last year's themes. We are yet to fine tune this year's!

Please don't hesitate to get in touch 😊 we will need notice for any bulk orders to give us time to prepare please.

One of THE biggest financial outlays and risks every season, ordered in June to get the best ones before they sell out, will be planted in November, will grace us in April/May! Treated as an annual in the cut flower world, a potentially expensive squirrel and rodent buffet if unprotected (think ratgate of winter 2023) and a bit of a diva if the weather isnt right, coming up too short and unusable for anything but a jam jar. Our lates flowered before our earlies this Spring, and to our shock found one variety was slightly scented as picked up by a couple of customers. Sadly it was a wrong variety - not what we ordered, so unsure if we have it again 🙈 we will see!

Pulled when they're just cracking colour. Come in many types; single, parrot, double... have to be watched daily, sometimes more than once a day, one bit of too much warmth or sunshine and they blow too open for reasonable sale/vase life. They are also one of the only flowers that continue to grow in the vase!

We sold nearly all 500 stems this Spring, (thank you!!) We couldn't keep up with demand...what are they?

The Wild Bloomers have helped Mrs Wild clear/reduce the size of the overgrown thugs that are our pond iris! (Purple and yellow).

If anyone is local and would like to come grab some FOC then please get in touch if you dont already know where HQ is.

It'd be a shame to throw it.

Bring your own container/bucket/bag.
