Mountain Gate Farm & Flowers

Willow has decided that the best way to get my attention while I’m making wreaths is to become the very best decoration 🤣. Had to reschedule a workshop yesterday as the weather was so horrific so thought I’d make the most of having everything prepped and make a couple for myself as I’m not selling them this year as a bit short on time!

A “VIP” little commission today! For the ultimate VIP…. My Mum! I’ve been decorating this wreath base for her every season for a few years now, it’s seen better days but Mum being an advocate for sustainability and not wasting anything insists I keep using the same base! Today’s brief was “I want colour! Lots of colour!”…. Helichrysum (straw flowers) hold its colour brilliantly when dried so it seemed the obvious choice. I hope she likes it 🌸🌸🌸

Our last wreath making workshop was so relaxing - a great social afternoon.

Is it a firework or just a piece of grass? I love it 😍

Friday night flowery fun with dear friend and fellow flower farmer florist Meadows Flowers. Gin and learning a new flower crown technique…. So now thanks to Jess’s super teaching skills I can now offer HUGE flower crowns for those of you that like to go bold!!! Perfect for festivals! (Normal flower crowns still available for those of you who prefer a slightly more subtle look!)

Friday night fun! Gin and floral headpiece creation

Hi I’m having a tidy up of my studio and have lots of dried flowers from last season needing a new home so I can start drying this years crop. Including dried alliums, helichrysum (straw flowers), paper flowers, statice, eringium and various grasses and seed heads. Please message me if interested x

We are collecting our lamb from the butchers on Friday. We have some half lamb boxes for sale, half a lamb for £80. This is home reared grass fed lamb that has been raised with care and only taken 1.4 miles to be processed so hardly any food miles at all! If you would like a half box please message me. They will need to be collected from us on Friday late afternoon/evening.

The sight of a freshly mulched dahlia bed makes me very happy! Just need the dahlias to keep sprouting and the weather to warm up now so they can go into the ground! Come on sunshine!!

Tinker had a more relaxed view on flower farming than me 🤣

I love how Aubrieta spills down our walls and bursts into flower this time of year. It’s not something I grow for the flower farm, I grow it because it makes me smile

Tinker is very proud of this little verbascum he’s been growing…. Apparently he’s going to guard it and sit and watch it grow 🤣🤣🐾🐾
