My photography doesn’t really do justice to the beautiful burgundy colour of these Sweet Williams - you’ll have to take my word for it that they really are lovely! But trust those foxy foxgloves to misbehave 🦊!!! #sweetwilliams #ornamentalgrasses #foxgloves #fox #nigella #britishflowers #flowersfromthefarm #vintageglass #ecoflorist #igrewthis #spring2020 #nopesticides #buckinghamshireflorist #chilterns #amersham
‘Tis the season for purples and whites .... just watching Monty Don on Gardeners World and being rather envious of his garden full of alliums 😍😍😍. I shall enjoy the relatively few I have 🥰🌸. #springblooms #allium #hesperis #nigella #springbouquet #campanula #canterburybells #beefriendly #ecoflorist #nopesticides #nochemicals #britishflowers #igrewthis #flowersfromthefarm #chilterns #buckinghamshireflorist
Slightly belated view of my VE Day flowers and cakes. I got rather sidetracked by the bank holiday wine... just out of view 🤣🍷. I love pansies - always so full of jolliness and colour 🎨. #VEday #veday75 #pansies #edibleflowers #cakeflowers #vintageblooms #vintageteacup #britishflowers #flowersfromthefarm #ecoflorist #nopesticides #nochemicals #chilterns #buckinghamshireflorist
Slightly different post from me today but this lovely couple are my grandparents, Jean and David 💕🌸💕. David was in the merchant navy, who played a crucial role in WW2 keeping supplies flowing between the allies. It was an incredibly dangerous job, and sadly he, along with many other merchant seamen and women didn’t make it back. I can only imagine that VE Day must have been bittersweet for my grandmother, mum and aunt 💐. There is a memorial garden to the Merchant Navy at Tower Hill - whilst working in London, I’d walked past it so many times before realising what it was and that he was actually commemorated there 🤦🏻‍♀️. On a happier and more floral note, I was eyeing up my grandmothers bouquet in this pic. They were married in 1920 - definitely all #britishflowers in those days, and I think they’re probably chrysanthemums, can’t quite tell. Please have a lovely and happy day in these weird times 🌸🌸🌸. #veday #VEDAY75 #merchantnavy #ruperra #towerhill #towerhillmemorial #livefortoday
Flower friends!!! It’s been a while since I last stepped onto Instagram apart from the odd story. The world is a very different place from those heady January days of #flowerfarmerama. I’ve been having a little customary break from Instagram during the last couple of months, but I figure it’s time I got back to it!! Lots going on in the garden and greenhouse and some truly bonkers #tulips this year so I’ll start posting a few more snaps over the coming weeks. Good to be back 😘💕🌷. #havingarest #crazyblooms #bluebells #showusyourweeds #alkanet #flowersfromthefarm #britishflowers #ecoflorist #nopesticides #chilterns #buckinghamshireflorist
One could be forgiven for thinking that #flowerfarmerama was last month’s news... I’m kinda behind!! 😳. Anyway, one more post before I have a social media rest for a few weeks until the spring bulbs arrive.... One of the questions we were asked was what are you going to do to make your business greener this year? Whilst I won’t be taking my eye of my green credentials, I’m already pretty conscientious about this: no pesticides, I recycle my plastic pots, no floral foam in any of my arrangements, etc etc. So the main change I intend to make is to grow more of my own fruit and veg. Seeing as I’ve got the space and facilities to do it, it seems silly not to. I bought some raspberry canes last week which I’m super excited about, and will also be growing tomatoes, lettuce, radish, courgettes, cucumbers, potatoes, beans, beetroot, strawberries, fennel, lots of herbs, and some other bits and bobs. Yum!! 😋 I just need to remain patient a few more weeks before I can get growing🥬🍅🍓🥒🍎 ⏰ .... #britishflowers #britishvegetables #locallygrown #nopesticides #happyhedgehogs #inmygreenhouse #allotmentlife #flowersfromthefarm #chilterns #buckinghamshireflorist #amersham
Today’s prompt for #flowerfarmerama is “my top tip for using my flowers this year.” Well, at the risk of putting myself out of business, my top tip for everyone is try growing your own!!! There are some hardy and half-hardy annual seeds which are cheap to buy and super easy to grow - once the soil warms up (say April/May time), you simply scatter the seeds, give them a loose cover with soil and a water, and they’ll be up in no time. Nigella, cornflowers, calendula, ammi, and with a little more tlc, cosmos and sunflowers, will all grow if direct sown with really minimal effort. Nasturtiums are also brilliant if you just want some bright colour in your beds. And the best thing? No slug pellets or pesticides required. If it’s mega-rainy, you might lose some.....but just think of it that you are feeding the hedgehog who will eat the slug that has eaten your sunflower 🦔 🐌🌻. #foodchain. And we all love hedgehogs 😘💕🦔. Fancy something abit more glamorous? Try some flamboyant dahlias! Now, the slugs really do like these, so I tend to grow them from the tubers in a pot first, then when they are big enough to withstand abit of nibbling (say 10-12” tall and nice and bushy), I plant them out where they will grow some super blooms come August/September. #Simples #britishflowers #locallygrown #nochemicals #nopesticides #organicgrowing #easypeasy #ecoflorist #diy #bebrave #haveago #amersham #buckinghamshireflorist #chilterns
A rather belated Day 23 of #flowerfarmerama which is to show some of my autumn blooms. In the world of British flower farming, you’re never really quite sure what autumn is, because an early frost can rapidly bring your entire season to an end when the dahlias get wiped out! This has happened to me for the last two years! 😢 So here’s some unscathed late September flowers captured before the frosts - I hope these make you smile on this grim January day 🙂. The first image is a completely mad and colourful autumn arrangement from when I first started out my flower farming journey - I still love this one 💕. Then I have included a video of some blooms which went out for a super fun wedding last autumn - there’s a real mix here of dahlias, cosmos, ammi, scabious, sea lavender, salvia, sunflowers, zinnias....see what else you can spot! Argh!! Looking at this just makes me want the sun again.....🌞 #herecomesthesun #britishflowers #happyflowers #dailydahlia #autumnblooms #ecoflorist #nopesticides #nochemicals #locallygrown #amersham #buckinghamshireflorist
#flowerfarmerama (belated) Day 22 🤣🤣🤣 is show is some of your #summer blooms 🌸. That’s even harder than choosing flowers for Spring!! Anyway, here’s a selection of my favourites and check out the #bee in last picture - he’s clearly loving all the pollen on the plot 🐝#nopesticides #nochemicals #britishflowers #flowersfromthefarm #summerflowers #justbuzzin #buzz #ecoflorist #hydrangea #buckinghamshireflorist #amersham
