Putting more UK grown blooms back into vases across the country

We are a trade association who aims to encourage more people to grow cut flowers for market in the UK and to promote local, seasonal flowers.

Growing at artisan scale allows our flower farmers to choose flowers for their perfume and charm, focusing on what thrives in their local soil and weather.

Our friendly network helps connect UK flower farmers to share their passion for what they do and also their skills and experience.
