Who Do I Love To Work With?

Bridal Bouquet of late June Cottage Garden flowers

  For me it's a long list - I love working with others who share my lifelong enthusiasm for our beautiful British flowers, who appreciate their variety, colours, scent, their seasonality. ⁠
  You have to catch British-grown flowers while you can - every season brings it's own special treats, even winter. ⁠ Many of these flowers are available for just a few short weeks each year. ⁠
​  You know how the very best British-grown Strawberries, Elderflower, Gooseberries or Asparagus burst with flavour? And how the equivalents flown from around the globe all year round, simply don't taste the same? ⁠
  Well, our flowers aren't the same either.⁠ The delicate scent of a Narcissi, a Tulip (many are scented), a Rose or a Sweet Pea - I could go on... ⁠ Each has it's own personality, adding something unique to a bouquet or arrangement. ⁠
​  I can tell you the week of the year when most of my bouquets were made when I look through the photo's as the combination of flowers will tell me which flowers were just starting it's season, & which were coming to an end.
  A strange floral quiz game...⁠
  So I love sharing this enthusiasm with others who grow them in their gardens (or Grandad/ma did perhaps), or who want them in their homes, wedding bouquets or at the funeral of a loved one, with those Florists & Flower Arrangers who create stunning designs with my flowers, other flower growers & those who simply want to learn more about British flowers at a workshop or garden visit. ⁠
  I always find the learning is two-way & I've met so many wonderful friends through my flowers. ⁠ Looking forward to meeting with even more in 2022!⁠
