Celebrate British Flowers Week 03 - 09 June 2024

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

A guide to social media for BFW

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, from hosting an event to championing the floral industry with photos, stories and opportunities for others to learn. Whether you’re a complete beginner with social media or a seasoned professional, we’d love to see you sharing your stories, enthusiasm and love for flowers during this time.

Over at Flowers from the Farm’s Instagram account, we’ll be re-sharing stories and images shared with us throughout the event − so be sure to tag us and use the following hashtags for the best visibility.

Hashtags for Instagram: #BritishFlowersWeek #BritishFlowersWeek2024

British Flowers Week has grown in social traction each year and we hope to encourage more conversations surrounding the industry than ever before. Using the power of the platforms you have already, bring British flowers to the attention of the media and general public this June.
