Homegrown Flowers by Liz

First Cut Dahlis with giant sweet peas.

As British Flowers Week continues, could I please encourage all of you living on the British Isles to help promote locally grown blooms. There are many positive reasons to buy locally, wherever you live – have a read of my blog post on the subject for just a few of them!

“Dip your nose into a beautiful bouquet of fresh cut flowers grown by your local British flower farmer, and you will be enveloped in a heady concoction of delicious fragrances, charmed by their natural, soft beauty and fascinated by their variety. When you see or smell a British flower bouquet, you can be transported by fond, childhood memories of flower-filled gardens.”

BRITISH FLOWERS WEEK: 3-9 June

Just loving my Iris’ at the moment- second cut too! So lovely to fill a vase of homegrown flowers straight from the garden. So fresh, no trip, no cost, no fuel from importing from abroad and seasonal!

First of my spring jars available. Placed on my front lawn. Beautiful large tulips with fragrant narcissi, wall flowers and hyacinths with foliage in a jar.

First cut of the season - ready for arranging!!

Happy New year! With the new UK flower import charges - flowers grown from outside the UK are going to cost more! With this mind don’t forget about uk growers and buy British grown!

A successful workshop last night at myWI for a Christmas candle table decoration. I have a couple of places left on Workshops. Please pm me for details. Or alternatively if you would like to order one.
