If you are thinking of a luxury, festive door wreath or swag this year that has an abundance of natural ingredients, then this is for you. You can add a different ribbon colour if you prefer, which are re-cyclable or biodegradable. Is it just me that keeps ribbons, etc, for a lifetime to re-use and as a keepsake memory? please say it isn't 🙏.

The wreaths and swags that i make will last for ages, with very low maintenance, and will go back to the earth.

If you would like me to make you one, then of course I can, OR your can make your own at one of my Christmas workshops, all abilities are very welcome.

Or perhaps you fancy the idea of getting together with family or friends to make your own wreath or swags with one of my wreath kits.

Table arrangements and graveside posies also available.

They are all available on my website, if you head over https://www.floralanaflowers.com to find out more. The link is also in my bio.

* As a sustainable, florist and local grower, all the foliage, conifer, and moss for my wreaths and swags etc are sourced from trusted local and UK based suppliers.

What a busy weekend we have had here at FloraLana flowers, its lovely that we're getting a little bit of overdue ☀️ over here!
We have been up to so much, from
♡ arranging the cutest 21st birthday bouquet💐
♡ Creating a white & cream 'garden gathered' style funeral sheaf for a very dear auntie🤍
♡cutting, conditioning & arranging bunches for the friday flower bunches, which you loved
♡ cutting, conditioning and arranging for saturdays Shrewsbury outdoor Market, in the square, which sold out!🌸

We have been over to the Walled Garden twice and the cutting garden here, snipping lots 😆 because we always insist on super fresh flowers.
I also got to meet Julia Buckley, who is the new Labour MP for Shrewsbury, and they took a pic of our stall, so hopefully looking forward to seeing that at some point. We also met Kathryn, a fellow florist who uses British only flowers who was visiting Shrewsbury for the day; always lovely to meet a like minded florist.

I wouldnt be doing all the things that i love so much, without all of your support, which you do in many different ways.
Thank you to all of you, it means the absolute world to me❤️🫶

Hope you all had a great weekend, whatever you were up to!

Are you getting married this year or next and need to organise your wedding flowers? I dont know about you but I wouldn't get married if I wasn't surrounded by gorgeous flowers on my wedding day!

I am a florist who grows my own 'garden gathered' style flowers in a lovely walled garden near Oswestry in Shropshire and in my cutting garden in Welshpool.
I work with most of my own flowers from April-Oct and outside these times I source locally to me or from within the UK.
Your flowers get picked a day or two before your wedding day, and you will get the freshest, most vibrant, and fragrant selection that I have growing; working to your colour palette and style. The ties for your bouquets are a beautiful silk or Broderie anglaise ribbon, or you can choose alternative ties if you prefer.
If you like the sound of all of this, then I would love to work with you in creating your perfect day.

Please do get in touch via my website https//:www.floralanaflowers.com. *please
Be aware that our website is being updated at present and your patience is appreciated.

or email
[email protected] and fill in your details. I will be in touch shortly after to arrange a free, initial consultation.

Happy weekend to you all

I was going to create a reel of the back of my garden in welshpool, at the top end, where my growing beds are, but I hadn't taken into account the issues I have with balance when moving around my garden due to the relatively steep incline. I just couldnt keep the camera still haha. It does make growing a bit more challenging for sure, although I do have a great view over long mountain to make up for it.

Below are a few of the flowers I am growing in my beds, which were started in 2021 as 'no dig', using pallet collars and wood from our local builders merchant. There are lots of videos about no dig on youtube, which are well worth a look.

Lots of varieties of roses, which you may have seen in my stories.
Scabious
Nigella mixed *the pods
Snapdragons
Daucus *
Ami visnaga & majus *
Sweet peas
Calendula
Sea thistle *
Strawflower *

My new, main cut flower growing area is in a walled garden near Oswestry in Shropshire, which is another lovely space. You can see more about that on my grid.

If you are thinking of starting a flower garden project or a cut flower business, then the flowers above are easy to grow. Those with a star beside them are perfect for drying also.

If you have any pics of your garden project or cut flower business that you would be willing to share, we would love to see them.

Also, do you have anything specific that you would like to know more about? Please put it in the comments or pm me and I will include it in my next posts.
Have a great week everyone, enjoy the sunshine!

As the weather is heating up, the flowers at the walled garden and my cutting garden are really starting to hit their stride, with a good few varieties starting to pop. The colour and fragrance is divine. I thought it might be a good time to re-introduce myself now.

Many of you have been following my recent posts and reels of how I am going about starting the new walled garden micro cut flower farm from scratch. Do give me a follow as its well worth it.

My name is Lana of 'floraLana' and I re-trained as a florist a few years ago, gaining distinctions in both level 2 & 3 C&G. I am now in my 3rd year of growing cut flowers and have just moved my growing area from a small space on the outskirts of Welshpool, Mid Wales to a much larger walled garden in West felton, Oswestry, in Shropshire. I also have a cutting garden with raised beds, in Welshpool, where I live.

I grow with no chemicals and sustainably, which means creating with no floral foam and using materials that biodegrade quickly or that can be recycled for many future years. I use my own flowers in my growing season, which runs from april-end oct and out of season I source from other local growers or within the UK if necessary.

I am an ambassador for the powys region for https://www.instagram.com/sustainablechurchflowers?igsh=MWVsa2d6MmFtMmJxOA== providing talks and demonstrations to groups, couples or individuals who would like to learn more about creating with alternative, no floral foam, mechanics, for designs in churches and other venues.

I design and grow for weddings, events, farewell flowers, and run group and private workshops, where you can learn, for example, how to create a beautiful hand tied bouquet, or a luxury Christmas wreath.

I was very lucky this year to have been chosen to take part in a 1 year cut flower scholarship programme run by Flowers From The Farm at Organic Blooms and I am learning so much about horticulture and the cut flower industry.

If you would like fresh cut flowers for a special occassion then please do get in touch. You can also find out more about me and order through my website below.
