Celebrate British Flowers Week 14-20th June 2021

Join us for this annual event founded by New Covent Garden Market, which puts British grown cut flowers and foliage firmly in the spotlight.

Why British Flowers

British Flowers Week gets bigger every year

The reach of this celebration on social media gets bigger every year, from 1.5 million on Twitter in 2014, leaping to 5 million on Twitter and Instagram by 2019. Let’s see how far we can take it this year!

A journey through the British Isles

In 2020, BFW went virtual and New Covent Garden Market commissioned four FFTF members to create window themed flower displays in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales: Fiona Pickles of Firenza, Sharon Millen of Drumcroone Cut Flower Garden, Christie Gilbert and Judith McGowan of Tomnah’a Market Garden and Justine Scouller of Farhill Flowers.

Windows competition

The floral windows themed competition launched in 2020 captured the imagination of the public and attracted a huge number of entries with winners picked in professional, amateur, adult and children categories. So popular that the competition will run again in 2021! See www.britishflowersweek.com for full details.

Celebrate British Flowers Week by making a window display

Flower up your windows

Flowers from the Farm members embraced the windows theme last year – see examples of their fabulous fenestration!
