Bouquets
The garden bunch
Loose, seasonal, British where we can
- Gathered rather than arranged, with the stems left long.
- Seasonal and British-grown wherever the market allows.
- Arrives in bud and opens over two to three days.
- Wrapped in paper, tied by hand, with flower food and a care card.
What goes in it
Bought that morning, so the mix moves
Meadow-style and gathered rather than arranged, with the stems left long. The one we send when someone says just something lovely.
Forget-me-not
Scabious
Flax
Meadow greens
A guide, not a guarantee. We swap a stem when the market offers something better that morning, and we never swap down.
How it arrives
In bud, on purpose
The morning we tie it
We buy your flowers at the market that morning. Nothing sits in a cold room waiting for an order.
It arrives in bud
Closed and travelling well. That is on purpose: a bouquet that arrives open has already used up its best days.
It opens over two or three days
Trim the stems, use the flower food, and it reaches its fullest a couple of days in.
Sent most often for
- Just because
- Get well
- Sympathy
- A quiet hello
Looking after them
Trim two centimetres off the stems at an angle, use the flower food, and change the water every couple of days. Keep them out of direct sun and away from the fruit bowl: ripening fruit ages flowers faster than anything else in your kitchen.
