British Flowers Week 3-9 June

Now in it’s eleventh year, British Flowers Week is here again. An opportunity for growers and florists alike to shine a light on what we have to offer, not just this week, but throughout the year.

Spring Flowers - Tulips, hellebores, narcissi, fritillaria, ranunculus. The top five for spring.

Summer - Roses, campanula, cosmos, astrantia, ammi. The world’s your oyster.

Autumn - Dahlias, chrysanthemums, helichrysum, rudebeckia, miscanthus. The colour explosion that is around before the first frosts.

I’ve used the expression ‘treading lightly on the earth’ many times because to my mind this sums up the whole ethos of British Flowers. You can check out Flowers from the Farm here.

There’s a great feature on the seasonality and sustainability of British Flowers on the Natural Wedding Blog too. Well worth a read.
