Morning all,

Up bright and early, supposedly to pick some flowers before it gets hot, but its already hot!

Our cornflowers are looking lovely, and we have all the colours! There is about to be another flush of corncockle which might just be the prettiest flower ever. Also picking malope, calendula, snap dragons, gladioli, cerinthe, cosmos, nigella, dianthus and a few scabious this morning.

I'm fingers crossed for sme Dahlias tomorrow, there are plenty of big juice buds on the plants now.

Honesty box will be out this evening, with just a couple of vases available.

The weather is looking good, although a minute or two of rain wouldn't go amis in the cutting garden.

I said it was too early, but then noticed loads of Christmas events starting to pop up and remembered that some of our other Christmas workshops have started to get booked.

So if you fancy an evening of creating something a little bit different to the usual wreath, the festive swag is perfect.

All materials and expert guidance provided.

This date is for No 58 Coffee shop Runcorn, but we have a couple of dates and venues planned, so watch this space for more details.

Morning all,

This weekend you can find our very local grown flowers at The Castle at Halton.

If you are visiting this weekend, make sure you get to see our flowers grown right here in Halton Village, these couldn't be more local!

Morning all,

Let me introduce our brand new micro flower farm, right here in Halton Village, Runcorn.

In our first year of growing we are absolutely delighted with the results, and have big plans for expansion next year.

All of our flowers are grown without pesticides and in an attempt to cut out all chemicals, we even make our own fertiliser and have the compost bins in production.

There are no air miles involved, just a couple by road!

This year approx 80% of our seed has come from British growers, and a lot of that from Cheshire growers. Next year we are planning on using 100% British seed and a lot more very locally sourced, including our own seed. Planning for next year is underway, and we might even possibly be able to source all of our seed locally, how good would that be?

Please feel free to ask any questions and follow the page for more updates as we grow and expand ( see what I did there! ).

Mini vases £5 each, for collection or can deliver locally.
