Based on the highest ecological principles, our growers are passionate about sustainable, regenerative farming practises.

Slow grown, wildlife friendly. No nasty chemicals or pesticides, hot housing or air miles.

Just beautiful English Country Garden flowers.

Ever changing seasonal bouquets in stock at the craft centre in Dedham alongside a wide range of natural dried flowers and wreaths. Floral prints, Ikebana Vases, Organic Gardening Solutions and more coming soon..

Weddings and Celebration of Life flowers catered for – please visit our online shop for details.

If you are looking for specific flowers or colours please let us know – we have a network of organic suppliers and can source most things with enough notice!

Due to the seasonal nature of picking the best blooms from our UK growers, our flowers and price list with be updated frequently. There may be small variations to the arrangements listed as we will always pick the best available stems.

Please be aware these are not sterile blooms and some pollen may stain.

Our Ethos

Sustainability

Every business finds a level of sustainability they are happy with. For us, it is at the core of our ethos – and we only work with suppliers who share these values. We only want to sell products which enhance people’s lives, homes, gardens and communities – and doesn’t make a mess of the planet in the process. Here are some of the ways we incorporate sustainability into our business:

Flowers: We only use seasonable blooms from British suppliers using organic methods. A simple statement but it is a world away from imported hot house blooms produced using artificial fertilisers and damaging pesticides.

Floral Foam: We do not use floral foam – even ‘biodegradable’ foam. Why? It is a plastic which simply breaks down into micro plastics – which are now being recognised as incredibly harmful to both us and the planet. Floral Foam was banned by the RHS in 2023 – it will no longer be found at the Chelsea Flower Show. Other ethical enterprises are following.

Biodegradable Packaging: All of your packaging can go in the compost!

Compost: All of our offcuts are composted.

Travel: Wherever possible we use carbon neutral firms and electric vans.

Carbon Offsetting: Where this is not possible, we are looking to carbon offset our emissions.

Thank you!

We offer a 10% discount to all health and care workers. Please just ask. (and know that you are valued!)

Community

None of our flowers go to waste! Anything left over the the end of the day is distributed to local residential homes to spread a little joy. Please drop us a line if you know of an organisation that might benefit from the uplift of some free flowers. Note that we cannot guarantee specific dates or quantities.
