Roses - selling half of my David Austin roses.
It will be an informal affair I.e bring a spade, and dig 😁David Austin have advised it's fine to move at this time of year they will just need a little time to adjust this season and feeding. Heavily reduced up to 1/4 of the retail price depending on qualities - and I'm giving a portion to cancer care.
DM if interested.

I'm currently clearing away the flower field as a final farewell. However all of the fancy narcissus bulbs are starting to flower and they seem a shame to waste. If you would like a bunch in the coming weeks or a trade bucket - do send me a message ♥️

Wreath tributes for those loved over the festive period. Over the next two weekends, I will be making floral wreaths much like those pictures in various sizes.
Perfect as tributes or to adorn a festive table. If you would like to place an order feel free to send a message. 🎄

A little update 🤍 As the season draws to a natural end, now feels like the right time to announce that I'm in a personal period of transition.

As is the norm, the field is now being put to bed for the winter. Beds are being pulled and covered. Yet, it's no secret that 2022 and 2023 have been incredibly difficult years for me personally, and for a while I've had the itch to try something completely new. To find a new purpose, daily routine, and challenge.

I've naturally let sowing deadlines pass and I ordered no bulbs for spring despite the usually tempting catalogues - so clearly now is the right time to try something new. After all, if you never try you never know!

It's not a farewell forever, but certainly a farewell for now as I throw myself into a new and challenging career in a couple of weeks time. Perhaps, in my new (corporate) role, I'll still find the time to grow my beloved sweet peas and dahlias, and sell a bucket or two to fellow florists in my down time. I would certainly love to still have the honour of creating funeral flowers. But in reality, only time will tell.

I have a couple of weddings booked in next year (couples please don't panic I've booked annual leave ☺️). Otherwise a huge thank you to all of my customers over the past 7 years for your support, to all the couples who have trusted me with their wedding flowers, to all who have purchased bouquets. To all the FABULOUS growers and florists I now have the pleasure of calling friends, and of course the very lovely ♥️
I'm incredibly proud of what I (and family) achieved, but I'm ready for a new and exciting chapter.
