🏍️ 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐲 𝐃𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐑𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐁𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐨𝐧 🏍️

It’s the Harley Davidson rally in Baildon this weekend – such a fantastic event for our village, with a brilliant atmosphere! 🎉

We’ll be cheering on the ride out and enjoying the buzz – have fun if you’re heading out!

⚠️ 𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞: We’ll be closed on Monday to recover after the weekend excitement. Back open as normal after that 🌸

🌼 𝐒𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 🌼

One of the joys of gardening is that it doesn’t have to end with the flowers 🌸 — you can save seeds now to grow even more blooms next year!

✨ 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐬𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬?
🌿 It’s sustainable — no need for endless new packets.
💷 It saves money (more flowers for less!).
💖 You’ll be growing varieties that are already happy in our Baildon soil.

✨ 𝐓𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠:
✔️ Choose healthy, strong plants for seed collecting.
✔️ Let seed heads fully ripen & dry on the plant before harvesting.
✔️ Store in paper envelopes or small jars, labelled with variety & year.

🌿 𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐰𝐞’𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬 — their beautiful papery seed pods are just as lovely as the flowers themselves!

It’s simple, satisfying, and a lovely way to carry your garden forward 🌱💐

👉 Do you already save seeds, or is it something you’d like to try this year?

🍂 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐦𝐧 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐬 𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 🍂

Brrr… has anyone else felt the change in the air? The weather seems to have suddenly turned, and it’s giving us all the 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐦𝐧 𝐯𝐢𝐛𝐞𝐬!

Did you know? Sometimes trees drop their leaves early in summer, not because autumn has arrived, but because they’re 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 🌳☀️💧. It’s nature’s way of protecting itself, and it can look like autumn has come early even when it hasn’t.

Our bouquets are reflecting those autumnal tones too — warm oranges, golden yellows, and deep berry shades. Perfect for bringing a little cosy magic indoors (without the chill!).

💐 Pop in or message us to bring a touch of “false autumn” beauty home.

🌞 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 & 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲! 🌸

💐 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐛𝐮𝐲 𝐝𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭? 💐

We often get asked about ordering through relay companies — but here’s why it’s always best to shop direct:

🚚 𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐬 – Relay companies usually add higher delivery fees than we would charge directly.

💷 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲 – Relay companies take a cut from your order, which means less of what you spend actually goes into the flowers themselves.

🌸 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥 – By ordering direct, every penny goes straight into your bouquet and supports a small, independent business (that’s us!) rather than a big corporation.

✨ So, when you buy direct from The Secret Garden, you get:
• More flowers for your money 🌿
• Better service tailored to you 💕
• The joy of supporting a local, independent business right here in Baildon 🌸

👉 Please share with family and friends – you can order via our website 🌐 secretgardenbaildon.co.uk or just give us a call 📞 01274 587159 … it’s that easy!

Thank you for choosing local — it really does mean the world to us! 💐

Wasn’t sure about the colour when we ordered these tubers… but we are absolutely loving the orange! 🧡

They’re bringing such a rich, warm glow to the cutting patch — perfect for those cosy autumn arrangements.

☀️ Another hot week ahead! We do love the sun but our cutting patch could do with some rain 🌧️

Remember to keep your flowers fresh by:
💧 Changing the water daily
✂️ Re-cutting stems at an angle
🌿 Keeping them out of direct sunlight & away from fruit

We’ve got lots of blooms in stock that can handle the heat — pop by and pick your favourites while they’re at their best! 🌸

This weekend we’ll be catching up with picking & deadheading 🌸 — and we’re already starting to dream about what to grow next year!

🌱 Seeds you can sow now:
• Hardy annuals for early colour next spring - cornflowers & snapdragons
• Biennials like sweet williams & foxgloves & honesty
• Green manure to improve soil for next year’s flowers

What’s on your seed-sowing list right now?

🌺 oh and how beautiful are the dahlias we picked this morning? Their colours are just pure joy in a vase.
