We’ve had a busy couple of weeks of DIY weddings - five over the past fortnight! I’m often too busy to capture photos of every order we produce before it leaves the workshop, but I tried to make an effort with these and here are the results!

Swipe to see three photos of each of the five colour schemes and a glimpse into the different elements we’ve created for each of our couples. Almost every stem was grown on the farm with the exception of a handful of roses and some limonium from , and some golden sunflowers and alstroe from . It’s Sod’s Law that our next crop of Inara sunflowers are bursting into bloom a week later than when they were required! 🙄

Interested in booking us to supply your DIY wedding flowers? We supply seasonal, sustainable, home-grown flowers for couples who want to get hands-on with their wedding floral between April and September. Get in touch via the form on our website - there’s a link in our bio.

It’s never too late to raise your voice against injustice, against genocide.

High summer, end of July…

Thank you all for your donations to our fundraiser - we raised £1686.28, plus a little extra from those who chose to donate directly to Medical Aid for Palestinians!

The winner of each prize is tagged in the photos; each prize-giver will contact the winner via DM to obtain the postage details! Thank you for your contributions!

MAP is responding in Gaza where the scale of the humanitarian crisis is unprecedented, shocking and continues to deteriorate. The Israeli government’s blockade of food, medicine, water and vital supplies has been in place since 2nd March 2025.

In the month since we launched the fundraiser, the situation for Gazans has deteriorated further. But as we continue to hold onto hope for the liberation of the Palestinian people, there is a marked shift in tone of reporting from the MSM and in statements from governments throughout Europe. Just last week France pledged to recognise a Palestinian state later in September, and they would be the first of the G7 nations to do so. Will this be a watershed moment? Can we apply enough pressure to make the UK government follow suit?

In the meantime, life for Palestinians is desperate. As the bombardment and siege on Gaza continue, and Palestinians in the West Bank experience violence and displacement, we must raise our voices. Let’s call for a ceasefire and a return of all hostages in Israel and Gaza. An end to the starvation and an end to arming Israel and its brutal occupation.

Free Palestine! 🇵🇸

This week we’ve had a big focus on people in our work on the flower farm. Molly and Yidah have been busy cutting flowers, not just for our usual customers, but for two of the local charities that we’ve been helping to fundraise for this year.

If you attended the Sandringham Flower Show on Wednesday, you might have purchased some of our flowers and had a conversation with the team from Kings Lynn Night Shelter. This charity delivers critical services to homeless people in the Kings Lynn area. Lucy from KLNS told me that between North and South Lynn the difference in life expectancy is ten years. That’s a pretty shocking statistic.

On Saturday I spent the morning at Holt Library - it’s the fourth year that we’ve helped to fundraise in order to support the community services that the library provides. Located in ‘North Norfolk’s poshest town’ (as described in recent newspaper articles), Holt has a similar demographic split to Kings Lynn with areas of extreme wealth and extreme poverty. The library supports the local community in a number of ways, and at this time of the year they have a program of free summer events for children throughout the school holidays. All of this is funded through the work of the Friends of Holt Library, and we are so happy to be a small part of this community fundraising.

Thank you to everyone who bought flowers from the Kings Lynn Night Shelter stall this week, and to every attendee who bought a ticket to our ‘Fill a vase’ workshop at the library on Saturday - every one of you is helping these local services to continue to deliver support to our community. And thank you to everyone who buys the flowers we grow or attends our workshops and courses - you’re not just helping us to provide local employment, but every sale helps us to deliver fundraising support to our local community too. Flowers really do connect people!

We had lots of fun at today’s Floral Field Session! Although it rained - a lot! - first thing this morning, we had a dry couple of hours to cut our buckets of flowers in the field before the rain started again this afternoon.

Our guests today cut a selection of Echinacea, Lysimachia, Sanguisorba, Agapanthus, Scabious, Cosmos, Feverfew, Mint and dahlias. I’d pre-cut some of the new crop of Achillea and Aster x frikartii, and everyone went home with buckets full of colour! With an ever-changing selection of plants to cut from, no two sessions are ever quite the same!

We have two final dates scheduled this season; Saturday 16th August and Saturday 13th September. Come and spend a couple of hours with us cutting flowers on our field and let your floral creativity loose!

Photo dump from the first week of July - just a fraction of the blooms that have passed through the workshop this week. First cut of the Echinacea, Cosmos, Daucus and Lysimachia, and lots of new varieties coming into bloom in the next week or so.

Too tired for any more words though! Enjoy your weekend - whatever you’re up to!

Friday Flowers… at the end of a busy week.

Tomorrow I’ll be off the farm to join , and to judge the entries at the Really Wild Flower Show at .surroundings! Think traditional flower show, but with all wildflower and ‘weedy’ floral material! I can’t wait! Will we see you there?

A snapshot of our week; flowers for florists, gifts, local subscriptions, workshops and weddings.

My favourite bloom of the week; Vaccaria, a new variety for us that we’ve never grown before, but one that definitely makes the cut!

Hoping to sneak a few hours off sitting in a pub garden this sunny Sunday before we get ready to do it all again next week…

Last week’s wedding flowers featuring the last cut of our ranunculus crop for this season. They’ve been amazing this year, and I always miss them once the crop is done. We’ve had them blooming first in the tunnel since April and then in the field - I think this is the longest we’ve ever had them in flower!

We’ll have French ranunculus and anemones and Dutch Butterfly ranunculus corms available for sale very soon through . If you want to be the first to find out when our pre-sale is launched, you’ll have to sign up to our email newsletter on the website or follow us on our seed shop account for more info coming very soon!

As usual, we’ll have smaller pack sizes for gardeners and larger packets for growers available. Which varieties will you be tempted to grow this autumn?
