GROWN IN SOMERSET
Here at English Garden Flowers, varieties are available according to season, including roses, dahlias, zinnias, ammi, delphiniums, foxgloves, snapdragons, nicotiana, scabious, veronica, sweet rocket, anemones, peonies, cosmos, sweet peas, nigella, ranunculus. hydrangea, sweet Williams and many others
A range of foliages provide the perfect foil for flowers and I love to use herbs such as marjoram, apple mint and lemon balm which add delicious scent.
Flowers evocative of the countryside such as corncockle, camomile and cornflower support the bees and add charm to bouquets and arrangements.
WHY BUY BRITISH FLOWERS?
Imported goods come with a very heavy carbon footprint, especially perishables like flowers, which have to be flown from where they are grown, some from as far away as Columbia to European markets and on by lorry to retailers.
Some online flower delivery services cheekily claim they are “carbon neutral”, meaning they have air-freighted the flowers and paid someone some cash to “compensate” for the pollution they have caused.
Buying locally grown flowers from a responsible grower gives you the assurance the flowers are genuinely “eco-friendly”.
It is kinder to the planet to buy local, with the added benefit of keeping money circulating in the local economy
I garden in harmony with the natural environment, following organic principals, caring for the soil and without using pesticides.
This approach provides a safe environment for invertebrates, insects, amphibians and birds, which in turn helps control pests.
Sustainable floristry is at the heart of what I do and I never use floral foam, a single use plastic which pollutes waterways with micro particles as it breaks down and is not bio-degradable.
A large range of flowers and foliage is available throughout the seasons, and if I needed to supplement my stock, I would source from other British growers.
Please feel free to contact me to enquire what is available.
