Our way of working
Not any flower, at any time.
We buy almost everything from growers within forty miles of the shop and work with what their fields are ready to give: tulips in April, sweet peas in July and dahlias until the first frost. Nothing flown in. Nothing asked to pretend it is another season.

Voices
From tables, kitchens and weddings.
“Ivy came to see the barn in March and never once said ‘peonies won’t be out yet’. She showed us what would be, and it was better than anything on our mood board.”
“Every Thursday there is a new jar on the table and I never know what it will be. My kitchen has never looked this good in November.”
“I order my mum’s flowers on the first of the month. She rings me before I have had time to ask.”
