Saxon Gate Flowers

It all began with a love of growing flowers…

My name is Peta and am the founder of Saxon Gate Flowers.

www.saxongateflowers.co.uk I have been a gardener as long as I can remember and have grown flowers on my allotment in Biggleswade for over 15 years. Growing plants from seed and cuttings, seeing them thrive and sharing the joy they give people is

what I love. The opportunity to grow cut flowers on a new plot of land at Saxon Gate Flowers enables me to grow a wide range of beautiful blooms in an environmentally responsible way. Our flowers are grown locally without chemicals & air miles. Our flowers are grown without using peat so avoiding damaging fragile eco systems. Flowers grown by Saxon Gate Flowers are produced with the environment and nature in mind.

"Have you got any flowers?"....
This is the way most enquiries start.

So .... I ask.... what are you looking for, any particular colours, when do you need them etc etc etc..? Can you send a picture of what you're looking for? ...

This year it has been a challenge predicting anything as a flower grower but we still have flowers available, just not as many as normal.

The first image is the colour palette for an order this week. Swipe to see the flowers we cut.

It's nice when it works out!

Contact me if you are looking for special flowers for a wedding or event in Bedfordshire or Hertfordshire, contact details in bio.

Flowers from the Farm at Chelsea Flower Show 2026

I often think that seeing Flowers from the Farm win a Gold medal at the Chelsea Flower Show in 2018 planted an idea that came to fruition when I started Saxon Gate Flowers in 2020.
Flowers from the Farm is the UK trade association for cut-flower growers representing over 1,000 members nationwide.

So one of the first things I did when I started growing was to join Flowers from the Farm. The support and advice from other like-minded flower growers has been invaluable.

Scroll forward to 2026 and Flowers from the Farm is taking a miniature flower farm to Chelsea this week (19-23 May). The mini flower farm will be a living showcase of flowers growing in May and the spectacular floristry that can be created from them.

I'm incredibly excited to have won a place in the members ballot and will be an Ambassador on the FftF stand in the Grand Pavilion on Tuesday 19th May! It's an amazing opportunity to be part of such an iconic gardening show.

Please come and say hello to the team if you are visiting this week, it will be lovely to see you. Keep an eye out for coverage on BBC and social media throughout the week... ###
