Let's Celebrate British Flowers Week 10 - 16 June 2019
Excited to be supporting and cheering on British Flower growers and sellers this June for British Flowers Week. This week-long celebration of British-grown cut flowers and foliage aims to bring British flowers back into British homes.
There is a wonderful exhibition of British flowers at the Garden Museum with Gardens Illustrated. The campaign from New Covent Garden Market's brings together florists, flower growers, wholesalers and flower lovers, encouraging them to put Britain’s best blooms on display.
There are many events going on around the UK including flower workshops, talks, open gardens to exhibitions and more. Follow #BritishFlowersweek on social media or you can keep an eye on the British Flower Week website to see more information on events near you. I am keen to try a flower crown workshop this year as they look so much fun!
Flowers grown in Britain are like strawberries you pick off the bush in your garden or ones you pick at a local farm. The strawberries always taste much juicier, with a fuller flavour and with natural colours. While others massed grown can lose their smell and taste of water.
If the flowers are in season and haven’t crossed thousands of miles, they are the ones for me every-time. They last longer in the vase at home, save on flower carbon footprints and who doesn’t want to see more beautiful fields of flowers in Britain?
I have been researching flower farms where you can pick your own flowers or buy seasonal buckets of flowers. Ideal for DIY wedding parties, afternoon tea flower arranging events and so much more.
Take a look at British flowers week for sellers at the New Convent Garden Market and selected favourite florists and artisan growers.
If you would like to find a local flower farm, event or workshop then take a peek at the Flowers From The Farm map. I love this map and it's great to see the number of British flower farms growing.
Our support for British Flower Week is buying British flowers and the launch of the specially designed Coral Flower Wrap Gift Set. Designed exclusively for British Flowers Week and is inspired by “Living Coral” Pantone’s Colour of the Year 2019. All materials are eco-friendly and Made in Britain, hand packed in Hampshire with love.
As a special offer for British Flower Week, there is a 20% off Voucher code BRITISHFLOWERS20 to use at www.kellyrideout.com - Ideal to wrap a special British flower bouquet for someone special this June.
Let’s make Britain Bloom together and buy British flowers!
