Flowers for Florists & Floral Designers
We take great pride in growing seasonal English flowers of exceptional quality in a way that supports and enhances the eco-system of the farm. It is a huge delight to work with so many florists and floral designers who appreciate the uniquely exquisite beauty of British cut flowers and the importance of using material that has been grown in a way that respects our environment too.
ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS FLOWERS
Florists and their customers are increasingly asking for locally grown British blooms. This is not just because of their distinctive beauty, but because they are farmed in a way that respects our environment and aren’t imported from warmer climes (with the airmiles to boot).
Working in a way that is environmentally conscious is at the heart of the Flower & Farmer approach. All our flowers are locally grown by us; delivery is direct from our farm to your door. We operate sustainable farming practices: we have almost phased out single use plastics, we use green manure and are introducing the “no dig” method to minimise carbon release from the soil. We do not use artificial fertilisers, fungicides or pesticides; in the last case, we utilise biological controls, such as lacewing larvae to control aphids and greenfly.

It is a huge delight to work with so many florists and floral designers who appreciate the uniquely exquisite beauty of British cut flowers and the importance of using sustainably cultivated material.
We cultivate a vast selection of annuals, biennials, perennials and shrubs, all carefully chosen to provide interest and variety throughout the growing season. In spring, we grow many of the more exotic Tulips (including Parrots, Lily Flowering and Fringed), Ranunculus, Anemones and Icelandic Poppies. Come summer, our fields and polytunnels are bursting with Sweet Peas, Foxgloves, Roses, Peonies, Phlox and Larkspur (to name but a few). As the season progresses, our selection includes Dahlias, Cosmos, Amaranthus, Zinnias and Echinacea. We grow a range of shrubs for foliage so that, in time, we should have a healthy supply of foliage year round. Our Eucalyptus trees will be ready for their first harvest this year.
Throughout the summer, we are also busy cutting and drying material for the leaner months. We have discovered a remarkable range of material that can be dried successfully – including Peonies, Hydrangea, Amaranthus, Larkspur, Oregano and grasses – to maintain a richness of colour, texture and, surprisingly often, scent.
