How Did The Flower Farm Start?

'Bloom Buckets' of Flowers to Arrange Yourself
  I'm often asked what prompted me to start the Flower Farm here near Castle Douglas, Dumfries & Galloway.
  Well, it was a bit of a long & winding road to be honest.⁠
  I've always adored flowers, ever since I was a toddler really & especially our beautiful British Cottage Garden Flowers.
  Flowers were always in my life (I grew up next to a Peony Farm) but unable to see a career in horticulture, I kept it strictly outside work. ⁠ But I grew flowers always, loved arranging them in a natural way to please me & slowly over time, they started to be noticed.
  The village flower arrangers wanted them, a few local florists too & so I started selling flowers on a very small scale when I lived in Wiltshire.⁠
  A health scare gave me the jolt I needed to step it up. Nothing quite like a couple of MRI scans to get you thinking...⁠
  Slowly a plan formed, we moved to Scotland nearer my partners parents & since 2015,  making those plans happen. ⁠ Growing Cottage Garden flowers in a sustainable way, & sharing their beauty & scent with others is such a special experience.
  And I'm always trying something new to grow each season, hoping to delight my Customers with them.⁠
  It's physically tough at times, a huge learning curve & totally worth it.
  Whatever took me so long?
