Join us for this annual event managed by Flowers From the Farm which puts British grown cut flowers and foliage firmly in the spotlight. Originally founded by New Covent Garden Market
Since its launch in 2013, British Flowers Week has championed the UK’s cut flower industry, celebrating growers, wholesalers, and florists who work with British-grown flowers. Now, after a decade of success under New Covent Garden Flower Market, the time has come for a new chapter.
Flowers from the Farm, the pioneering organisation that has transformed the landscape for small-scale British flower growers, now leads British Flowers Week. Founded by Gill Hodgson with a vision to revive and promote UK-grown flowers, Flowers from the Farm has grown into a thriving network of independent flower businesses, supplying retail customers, florists, and event professionals across the nation. Its extraordinary impact on the industry was recently recognised when Gill was recently awarded an MBE.
As we step into this new era, Flowers from the Farm is evolving into a forward-thinking trade association, committed to strengthening the presence of British-grown flowers in the marketplace. British Flowers Week 2025, running from 16th – 22nd June, will embrace this momentum under the theme “Flowers For The Future.” We invite growers, wholesalers, and retailers to join us in celebrating with vibrant events—flower flashes, pop-ups, window displays, farm tours, collaborations, sustainable floristry workshops, and more.
We are inviting every retailer, wholesaler and grower of British-grown flowers to get involved in British Flowers Week by organising flower-filled events to inspire and engage; from flower flashes, pop-up stalls and window displays — to talks, flower-field tours, sustainable floristry workshops and demonstrations.
In London, the Garden Museum will continue to celebrate British Flowers with their annual exhibition of floral installations, open this year from Wednesday 4 – Sunday 8 June where the country’s top floral designers will be invited to build showstopping floral installations around the museum using seasonal, British-grown flowers.
“New Covent Garden Flower Market’s work in coordinating British Flowers Week for the past decade has helped put British cut flowers on the map. It’s now Flowers from the Farm’s turn to take the campaign forward into its second decade and we cannot wait to get started! Today, UK-grown flowers have just 14% of the UK cut flower market. We want to change that and we’re looking forward to working together with our friends and colleagues across the industry to ignite a passion for British cut flowers.”
We want to get as many people as possible celebrating British flowers across the media in the weeks leading up to and including BFW. Here are a few ideas on how you can get involved whether you’re hosting an event or simply championing our incredible industry.

Founded in 2011, Flowers from the Farm is the UK industry body championing nearly 1000 independent, small-scale growers of local, seasonal cut flowers.
Its members farm an estimated 1000 acres of garden-style flowers and foliage on cutting gardens, allotments, walled gardens and farmland across the UK from Inverness to the Isles of Scilly.
Flowers from the Farm has three founding aims: to promote British cut flowers, encourage more people to grow for market, and to foster friendships and collaboration.
