Spring /Summer 24 - saw the arrival of two uninvited peahens and then the going ( to a new home) after their over- interest in seedlings . There was a slight dip in the rollercoaster of our life when a hungry badger and her cubs took all the chickens and May heralded a flooded kitchen . Still the flowers ignored the hurly burly and kept on growing and provided happy distraction . The year rolled on ….

Seeing the post from and reading what Gill from had to say about thinking “outside the casket “ for containers reminded me that a few years back I was asked to provide tree stumps for a biologist who loved trees . These were taken home by the family and once the narcissi had finally died back, the bulbs were planted in the garden . I really recommend looking at the Farewell Flowers website for wise words and inspiration www.farewellflowers.com

Fantastic talk this evening from the knowledgeable plantsman / nurseryman Simon Sutcliffe about growing for Chelsea . A fascinating insight into the many difficulties of growing to order and timing of plants but also about the way and the designers has changed the emphasis over the years to become so much more sustainable from its use of peat free compost , to repurposing of the show gardens and so much more. He came with trolley loads of many beautiful plants which were snapped up by the members of Benenden Gardening Club . Although a wholesale nursery he maybe doing a Christmas pop up so give him a follow if you don’t already .

The Blue Hen Flowers Story

Blue Hen Flowers came about following our eldest son’s marriage when Spring was late, the

agreed to give British grown, local flowers a go and the rest as they say is history. The flowers sold, customers were happy, Nick was happy and I was very happy. Of course anything worth doing means complete involvement and the growing business, in both senses of the word has meant a lot of hard work and hard lessons learnt but I would not have had it any other way,

and the satisfaction I get from producing beautiful blooms, and the friends I have made along the way has been wonderful. Now I sell to a variety of outlets including the wonderful Hartley D**e, Eggs To Apples Farmshop, Astilbe and Sorrel, Benenden’s Community Shop and Cafe and Floral Studio as well as to brides, one-off bouquets, subscribers to monthly flowers and funeral flowers.
