Hi, I'm Sarah and I own and run Old Forge Flowers in Leigh, near Sherborne in North Dorset, UK.
If you're new here, welcome to my little corner of Instagram.

We sustainably grow and locally sell fresh, cut flowers from April to October. We dry a lot of them to extend the season to include the winter months.

My love of growing flowers originated after I finished my degree in Biology (a few years ago now!). I started with buying plants for the first garden I had and when we moved to our current house there was more room to grow and I started more plants from seed.

I loved bringing flowers into the house but didn't want to keep cutting them from my garden so I created areas of beds for them. These areas grew and I started selling the flowers locally and here we are today with Old Forge Flowers.

Thanks for being here and if you have any enquiries please get in touch via DM or email [email protected] 🌺

Back from holiday and straight into cutting flowers from the field to hang for drying.
It's been so dry here for months so rain would be very welcome.
Some autumnal colours ready for the upcoming season (not that I'm ready to give up on summer just yet) 🌾☺️

Here comes the Helichrysum, Panicum and Craspedia 🌸

I'm sowing more of all of these this year after the slugs munching on so many of them last year and I'm aiming at drying more flowers this year 🌱

Something a bit different on my grid today...a hanging dried flower crescent I recently made for an order.

I loved putting this together and making it tumble over the sides of the crescent 🌙

I hope you had a great Christmas Day, now it's that Twixmas time, when we don't know what day it is 😂.

I thought I would try to get ahead and sow some Strawflowers for next year's bouquets and dried flower work. There's a reel about how I do it on my other page .and.wellies if you would like to see it.

If you've got this time off work, I hope you get to enjoy some peace and get some of those niggly jobs done that you've been meaning to do for ages ☺️

These were from a couple of weeks ago but I thought I would add this video as they're such lovely bunches for some much loved teachers leaving a school 🎉🌸
