Meet The Flower Farm Florist

Work in Progress...⁠
  Here I am, in my element, about halfway through decorating the magnificent mantlepiece at Auchen Castle, near Moffat last September. I had put in the foliage & hops & just beginning to 'colour in' with Dahlias & grasses. A LOT of Dahlias - see below.⁠ The brief from the wedding couple was 'Autumnal' with Pheasant feathers from their Shoot.
  So I added Bracken, Autumnal leaves, Berries, seedheads & shiny Horse Chestnut Conkers.
  And if we haven't met before, here's a short intro...⁠

• I'm Rosie & our Flower Farm, Galloway Flowers, began in 2015. We grow an acre or so of flowers near Castle Douglas, Dumfries & Galloway in Scotland ⁠
• We supply flowers for weddings, funerals & events across Dumfries & Galloway, & into closer parts of Ayrshire⁠
• From March - October, there's a succession of flowers produced. Many are scented, all grown naturally & include plenty of the Cottage Garden Favourites I adore⁠
• My favourite crops are Tulips, Sweet Peas & Dahlias (but don't tell the Roses, Delphiniums etc that!) So many varieties, colours, scents & shapes to choose from...⁠
• I arrange sustainably without floral foam always. When additional flowers & foliage are required for large events, special requests & in the Winter months, these are sourced from other Flower Farms in the UK. All steps designed to keep carbon footprint of our work low⁠ ⁠

  Our 2025 season is just getting underway now. As temperatures rise, the speed flowers grow amazes me every year. One week there seems to be nothing but mud & dead leaves in the field, & then off we go cutting quickly to fill buckets with flowers again. ⁠ Looking forward to it!⁠ ⁠
