Let’s be fools together! Alongside today is National Pillow Fight Day😃Who is with me? Child like behaviour encouraged!
My other favourite day of the month…..April 17th, Blah, Blah, Blah Day!
I won’t pretend that its been good to see the back of March l. We ended yesterday on another bitter sweet with a house completion and never before have we crawled over an end of term finish line. But April brings new horizons and that we welcome.
Wishing you all a good start to a new month, embrace and enjoy and savour some magical moments…..One final request, please can you bring less rain 🙏☔️😃Xx

A huge thank you Sara @myflowerpatch for the gorgeous British grown blooms, a true friend x

🌷2023 Flowers from the Farm Conference - Plot to Profit

Flower farming is a business not a hobby. Every one of the 320 flower farmers at last weekend’s conference is an entrepreneur, a multi-tasking, über-creative small business owner. The conference theme of Plot to Profit focused on the essentials for running a sustainable, profitable flower business wherever you are and however big your plot.

When members of Flowers from the Farm get together the flower farming chat is something to behold! Talk of seed germination rates, irrigation methods, dig or no-dig, top-performing varieties and, above all, compost is off the chart.

Members - new and old - are exceptionally collaborative and supportive of each other, sharing their skills, expertise and experience freely and generously, forming friendships and business partnerships in the process. Some have also shared their knowledge in book form and we are ridiculously proud of our published flower farmers including @stokesayflowers @milliproust @plantpassion @botanical_tales and @francesandrose who were signing copies at the conference.

🌷Today’s Conference Tips at a Glance

@carolsiddorn @millpondflowerfarm @plantpassion of The Business of Selling Flowers recommend:

🌿 Grow what grows well and what grows easily on YOUR plot
🌿 Sell all your flowers - if it’s not picked, it’s a waste of your time, money and effort
🌿 Prioritise your physical and mental health. You are your business’s biggest asset: if you are ill or injure yourself, who will be left to do the work?
🌿 Maximise productivity and efficiency. Spot and eliminate time wasters eg staking too late, looking for tools, watering and moving hoses, weeding edges

@myflowerpatch and @wilzinniabristol advise:

🌿 Don’t try to grow everything. Grow with your ideal customer in mind. Collaborate with fellow flower farmers on the rest.
🌿 Be creative and efficient with space eg grow or bring on crops in crates
🌿 Don’t be sentimental about crops going over - pull them up and have the next plants ready to go in
🌿 Plant crops together eg narcissi under sedums, dahlias after tulips, hellebores under shrubs

Recently overheard the photographer guiding a couple while capturing their portraits: “… just lean in and whisper… There! We got the magic!” This reminded of the most beautiful day at @wickbottombarn which was filled with so many most gentle, feminine and stylish details, not shouting or competing, but elegantly flowing in whisper through the day. The canopy of lights by @lightfantastic_uk inspired the fairy-tale feeling in a naturally dark and atmospheric barn, the place names were created by the ever so talented bride (just look at those adorable dried flowers, silk ribbons, calligraphy and gold detail✨), flicker of candles added to the magic and gorgeous flowers grown by Sarah at @myflowerpatch and arranged by the bride & her bridal party were pure bliss. Swipe to the end to see the official images by @ruthatki and you really don’t want to miss probably THE most special detail of all (though it’s really impossible to pick the favourites when it all is simple perfection!).
Looking back now it really feels like a day filled with whispers of magic✨✨✨

What an amazing day for E&D’s wedding. We loved their bright bold bunting and flowers that perfectly complimented the tipi, their heartfelt ceremony, fun filled speeches, and some excellent food and music!

Beautiful side-on view of the tables by @lydia.stamps from Seana and Alex's big day @at_chalk last August. Beautiful homegrown florals from @myflowerpatch and @crystalhire provided the tableware and lush green napkins.

This wedding was so pretty and so suited to the surrounding of the barn, lush green as far as the eye can see.
