✨OPENING HOURS UPDATE✨

We are closed today and tomorrow due to the heat. We will be having an admin day, so if you are waiting on any replies, give us a nudge. Or if you have any orders to place, just give us a call or drop us a DM.

Stay cool everyone and if you are watering flowers, plants and gardens, remember not to do this in the middle of the day in the hot sun. Early morning at the crack of dawn or evening is best.

Don’t leave bouquets in aqua packs either, pop them in a clean vase with fresh water changed daily ❤️

In other news, my wonderful groomer Carol Phirke has come to groom Ronnie early as he is not liking this heat. All set up in the comfort of our garden, no stressful visit to the groomers ❤️

✨FLOWERS ARE FOR EVERYONE✨

Even men! This ginormous gift bouquet went out yesterday for a very special gentleman’s 70th birthday.

It’s all about the smoke bush and giant alliums this week. What do you think?

Spent the evening freelancing at creating a beautiful farewell arrangement.

Once we were finished, we got distracted creating shadows with the flowers that had naturally started to dry since the last students visited the studio at ❤️

✨HALF TERM ACTIVITIES✨

Our next door neighbour is running workshops for kids. Affordable but fun, stone painting and needle felting will keep the kids entertained.

Grab a coffee nextdoor and browse the deli, or mooch around the gift shop whilst the kids enjoy some relaxing crafting ❤️

✨VASE LIFE✨

I’ve heard a lot of people say over the past couple of weeks ‘peonies don’t last long’ so I did an experiment.

Peony season doesn’t last long but I think as a cut flower it has a decent vase life.

Top tips…always put your flowers in a clean vase, not a dusty unwashed vase from off the shelf. If your vase is dirty, the water will be dirty and your flowers will go over quicker.

Cut stems at a 45 degree angle and fill the vase so the stems are covered at the bottom. No need to fill the vase to the top, you will just end up with slimey stems!

Change the water frequently, especially when it’s hot like this weekend. And don’t place your vase in a sunny window as your flowers won’t last long.

I cut these peonies last Friday morning .secret.farm and left them to condition overnight before arranging them in a vase. I’ve changed the water but didn’t bother recutting the stems. I reckon I will get at least another day or two out of them.

Interesting fact, the last peony (Coral Charm) in the video started life as pink and slowly changes colour to a gorgeous buttery yellow.

Happy Friday everyone 😘
