These roses were perfect three days ago with their tight buds just about to put on a show. Then the heatwave came and they just let go. Blowsy and wide open overnight, the way roses do when they've had enough.
They're not wrong, exactly. Just not at the right stage for cutting for bouquets.

So I'm enjoying them until the petals fall and then the compost heap gets them next, and those stems will feed the soil that grows next year's flowers.

Save this if you've ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of a small British flower grower in Oxford

Yesterday I spent the day Chelsea Flower Show next to a living flower farm and fellow flower farmers and had an amazing day talking about everything you can imagine about flowers.

were awarded a Silver Gilt medal at RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026 and every single person who made this happen deserves to be celebrated.
For the very first time, a living, growing, peat-free flower farm came to the Great Pavilion at Chelsea. British-grown, built with heart and brought to life by the most incredible team of growers and flower farmers from across the UK.

The build team who created this magic:

The ducks:
Aprons sponsored by: Guy Goodfellow Collection

This was a real team effort in every sense. To see people stop, look, and really connect with what British-grown flowers can be that's what made such a fantastic day.

The display is open until the end of the show and come and chat with us in the Great Pavilion no. 63🌸

For the first time in over a century, the has lifted its famous gnome ban. Apparently it's all to do with King Charles who is suspected of relocating his garden gnome around the Stumpery at Highgrove just to keep the staff on their toes.

But it's all for a good cause as a bunch of celebrities have all painted celebrity gnomes for the occasion to be auctioned off for the RHS Campaign for School Gardening.

Meanwhile, here in my potting shed in Oxford, my garden gnome has been holding the fort since I won him from the brilliant podcast the prize for submitting a question to and

If you haven't listened yet it's worth tuning in as it's sharp, funny, wildly off-topic in the best possible way, and genuinely the most entertaining horticultural company you can keep while you're sowing seeds, pricking out, or pretending to w**d.

My garden gnome, who I really should give a name to has been judging my dahlia pinching technique ever since, and frankly his face says it all.

Tacky or tasteful? Drop a 🪣 for tacky or a 🌷 for tasteful below or suggest a name for little green gnome 💚
