The colour palette is starting to feel a little more autumnal 🍁
I don’t think I’ll ever tire of the warmth of burnt oranges and copper reds as the weather starts to cool 🧡

A gorgeously inspiring visit to John Massey’s wonderful garden today. It is both stunning and interesting. johns is open for charity on Saturdays throughout the year I highly recommend a visit.
It was lovely to speak with John who’s passion for horticulture is contagious and also with my mentor from my WRAGs training year back in 2019 who is always so generous with his knowledge and in giving me confidence when I need it! Thank you! 🙏

Flowers from field to pub… a route I’m quite partial to 😜
If you want to follow in their footsteps you can head down to too! 🍺 🍽️ 🌸

These beautiful buckets of blooms went out last weekend for a birthday party where the evening included cocktails, nibbles and flower arranging. Everyone brought a vase so they could take their flowery creations home with them at the end of the night. What a gorgeous way to celebrate a birthday!
🍸💐🥳🤩

Cosmos … one of my all time favourites!

I have been known to be a bit fickle about cut flowers 🙈 what’s top of my favourites list one year isn’t the next (well there are just so many to choose from!!) but cosmos has stood the test of time year on year, she definitely has my heart. This year we’re growing ‘Fizzy Rose Picotee’, ‘Purity’, ‘Double Rose Bonbon’ and ‘Apricotta’
Any other cosmos lovers out there?!
🩷🧡🤍

An early July bouquet… 🤩

Admittedly we have been having a little bit of a battle with the cold wet start and sooo many slugs! But these beautiful flowers have pulled through and are pulling me through too!
We’re hoping along with everyone else that we’ll get some much needed warmer sunnier spells soon to give the plants a boost and get rid of those slug problems!! 🤞🐌

Got something to say?

Say it with locally grown flowers 💐😍🤩

Looking for a rose to look beautiful in the garden and in the vase?
My absolute favourite rose for cutting, David Austin ‘Queen of Sweden’.
She has long strong stems with few thorns and gorgeous upward facing soft pink cups. She also perfectly compliments the rest of the cutting patch at this time of year… Nepeta, Mint, Alchemilla mollis, Astrantia, Sweet Williams… 🩷

It has been a busy time preparing and planting up beds and I’m feeling at last like I might actually have a field of flowers again this Summer! 😅

A few weeks ago I found myself feeling slightly overwhelmed by the amount of work needed to catch up, wondering if it would be possible to get back on top of it all, but a couple of solid days work and things are feeling a bit back under control. Breathe!

As well as a whole load of weeding and mulching, the second round of Scabious, snapdragons, annual phlox have found their forever homes, and the first of the malope, strawflowers, rudbeckias and panicum too.

Even the apprentice was tired out after all that work! 😂

I’ve also been potting up the next round of cosmos and zinnia, growing them a bit bigger before planting out since the first round of zinnias having been almost all gobbled up by slugs! 🐌😥
Bigger plants = more chance of survival! 🤞
I am feeling it for everyone with slug problems out there. They have been greedy this year!!

A bunch for the weekend 💐

07/06/2024

A bucket of properly seasonal flowers picked this week on our farm ready to be arranged to go out to customers.
This week is celebrating British grown blooms in all their glory. No air miles in sight which means a hugely lower carbon footprint than their imported counterparts.
And just as importantly they are beautiful, with good vase life and often gorgeously scented which you don’t know you’ve missed until you smell them!
I can guarantee your local grower will be passionate about what they do and in providing high quality freshly picked flowers so if you’re ever in need of flowers take a look at www.flowersfromthefarm.co.uk and find your local flower farmer 💚

All grown and arranged by us less than a mile down the road, talk about it keeping it local 🫶

A really brilliant day yesterday meeting some other lovely and like minded flower growers and florists from coming together to create the mechanics behind what will be a beautiful letter display for the RHS Malvern Spring Show. I’ll be going back as a visitor on Saturday and can’t wait to see the final result as well as all the other gardens which were already looking fabulous as they were being busily put together!
Feeling very lucky to be have been able to see behind the scenes this year! 🙌

A self indulgent post, because amongst the crazy chaos of life with a threenager(!) these moments of beauty are worth holding onto 💚

The tulips are still doing their spring thing! 😃

And the weather over the weekend has brought more out that are ripe and ready for picking, particularly the incredibly pretty variety in the second photo which I’m sure are ‘Foxtrot’ though the label seems to have washed off, can’t think why!

We’ll have bunches from £10 available again from tomorrow so do get in touch. x

08/04/2024

A bunch of our lovely tulips after 6 days 🤩

We will have the very pretty in pink ‘Aafke’ tulips (see photo 3) available over the next couple of days for collection or local delivery.

Please call or message if you’d like some xx

Today sees the end of our tulip season. I have loved having them back again this year and am so grateful for the joy they have brought, especially after the endless rain has done its best to dampen our spirits! Thanks to everyone who has supported my little business by buying a bunch. We will be back offering mixed bunches, buckets and gift bouquets soon so watch this space 🤩 #tulipseason #locallygrown #seasonalflowers #flowersbringjoy #shropshire #bridgnorth #dittonpriors #neenton #faintree

A is for Astrantia I love Astrantia, it’s so versatile and a great filler flower. Perfect strong stems with a spray of dainty beautiful flowers which are surprisingly sturdy and hugely long lasting in the vase. Our Astrantia patch has become over congested since it was first planted 4 years ago and it’s a good idea to split perennials every few years to give them a bit of renewed energy and vigour. Despite the (very) wet conditions (i.e. might as well be digging a pond - it really amazes me that anything survive!! ) I was out yesterday beginning the job of splitting ours and potting them up. In different conditions I’d have replanted the divisions into a new patch but since all patches are ponds I thought I’d be safer potting up and planting out when it dries up a bit. So far 2 plants into 8 with many more to go, I’ll continue another day and hope to have a nice new big patch of Astrantia this year 🤩 #springgardeningjobs #propagation #perennials #astrantia #cutflowers #shropshiregrown #pondlife
