I am getting sorted for Mother's Day which is a huge day in the florist's year. I make my bouquets band posies from my own flowers topped up with flowers from other British growers. So truly British and very seasonal....which means I can't tell you exactly what is going to be in them. I am expecting there to be Daffodils and other Narcissus, Pussy Willow, Alstromeria, Wallflowers, Tulips .....but once I know for sure I will let you know. I make large and medium sized bouquets in water plus smaller jam jar size posies....see the dedicated page for more information. I deliver to people in Reydon, Southwold and surrounding area as a matter of routine but if you love my flowers and would like them delivered elsewhere please contact me and we can discuss the options. Also I am making a donation from each bouquet, posy or bunch sold to Nelson's Journey which is a Norwich based charity for bereaved children. 
 
 Of course Mother's Day comes on top of a very busy time in the garden. I have started a little seed sowing and am preparing beds, ordering plants etc etc....Happy days!
I am cutting Daffodils and some lovely scented Narcissus and these are selling well. They are easy to post so if you would like some Southwold flowers posted to you please let me know.

    My Story

    My story in flowers started as a child growing a tiny patch of London Pride Saxifraga...also known as Whimsey or Look Up and Kiss Me!  Fast forward to 8 years ago when I started a  City and Guilds training in floristry. I qualified as a  florist and then to deepen my growing knowledge and skills I trained in horticulture as well.  I trained under a WRAGS scheme at Darsham Nurseries and at Somerleyton Hall.  Developing a passion for both growing and designing/arranging British garden flowers, I planted a cutting garden. Having become increasingly concerned about where and how flowers are grown, coupled with a love of British grown flowers. and natural styling, I now specialise in growing and using beautiful British grown flowers to make romantic natural designs. for weddings, events, gifts and much more.
    I keep up to date and expand my skills by attending courses each year ...including Jay Archer Flower School, Catkin at Doddington Hall and Sarah Raven at Perch Hill,
