Planting Seeds for Spring

We’re busy sowing seeds, planting out and prepping ground for spring flowers…

In the first photo you can see a tray of recently germinated seedlings (grown from seed collected from this year’s plants), with bigger plants for next spring in the background. (And this year’s weeds ) There’s a staggering amount of work and experience required in order to have a continual succession of flowers from March to October and to ensure we grow ‘enough’.

Enough is, in my opinion the magic word to a sustainable business…. Not too little, not too much. (Both big problems in sustainable small scale flower growing! More on that another day!) We’re also limited in terms of capacity, with only two hands each and rigid values that mean we pay for all our labour. (No volunteers reducing our labour bill here) And we also have to earn an actual living. We’re not retired, loaded or daft…. Blunt but true

Why am I telling you this? Well if you’d like ethical, sustainable flowers for your spring wedding, like those pictured , we’d love to supply them, but we’d like to know asap in order for us to grow ‘enough’.

You can book online! (If the dates are not showing as available, please email) You can also download our 2024 Wedding Style Book there too! Please get in touch if you have questions. We’d love to flower your special day!
