Did you know that the Queen's wreath on Monday was a landmark moment in funeral flowers? HRH requested British flowers on a natural base.
Eco-friendly, non toxic and simply stunning.
Sadly today and probably everyday, our loved ones are adorned with toxic flowers and it's seen as the 'done thing'.
The ugly truth behind imported flowers and 'modern methods'.
Time to request change - Google Flowers From the Farm next time you need flowers 💕.

Is this the wreath that launched a thousand changes?
Over half the people on the planet watched The Late Queen’s coffin bourne through London yesterday and every eye was caught by the lovely wreath riding high alongside sceptre, orb and crown.
It was not diminished by proximity to priceless jewels but was indeed the only companion possible for such an array.
No stiff wreath of lilies could have matched the occasion: no Colombian roses or imported wax flowers could have been dignified in the same way that these garden flowers were dignified.
Our new king commissioned the wreath and specified its sustainability but it took a modest man, well versed in the language of flowers, to turn wishes into perfection and combine the majesty of a queen with the quiet dignity of the woman.
Can a real shift toward locally grown and foam-free farewell flowers start with one sublime wreath? Can the world remember it when it’s their turn to order those final flowers for a loved one - and look beyond the funeral director’s standard catalogue?
