FAQs about membership
-
Does my membership include VAT?

I'm a member but I can't log in. What should I do?
Please contact adminsupport@flowersfromthefarm.co.uk and they will be able to help you. -
At what stage should I join Flowers from the Farm?
We have members who are at the planning stage of their flower growing business, right through to established businesses who have been trading for years. Anyone wishing to earn a living through growing or using British grown flowers is welcome to join us. -
Are there any membership criteria for joining?
Our members are independent British flower businesses, both large and small, from across the UK. The majority of our growers are committed to working in line with agroecological principles – nurturing healthy soils, supporting biodiversity, and producing flowers sustainably without reliance on pesticides or harmful chemicals. We also welcome florists who love using British-grown flowers and want to be more connected to the people who grow them. While florists may not be growers themselves, we encourage them to share and promote the same ethos of sustainability, collaboration, and support for seasonal, local flowers. -
I've got a business partner - do we both need to take out individual FFTF memberships?
A membership allows one main member whose registered email is the point of contact for all FFTF admin and communication and allows one business listing on our website directory. Where a business is a partnership or has additional staff the main member can log in to the website and register a single 'additional member' (or sub account) for their business. This nominated 'additional member' can attend FFTF meetings and access the members area of the FFTF website. As a rule, only the main member will be permitted to join the closed Facebook groups and receive emails, newsletters etc. However, the main member can put it a request to adminsupport@flowersfromthefarm.co.uk requesting that their additional member be added to the Facebook group. They must provide the additional members name, their business name and the additional members Facebook account name. The main member is responsible for sharing this information with their staff member or business partner. When/if you're registered as a member, log in to your account and view this link for more details of how to add an additional member to your business. -
I'm a florist, not a grower. Can I join Flowers from the Farm?
We also welcome florists who love using British-grown flowers and want to be more connected to the people who grow them. While florists may not be growers themselves, we encourage them to share and promote the same ethos of sustainability, collaboration, and support for seasonal, local flowers. -
There’s already a Flowers from the Farm member near me. Is that a problem?
Not at all in fact, it’s a strength. We are a collaborative community. The demand for British-grown flowers continues to rise and is still only a small proportion of the overall market so there is room for many more growers to meet it. We welcome as many members as possible, wherever they are based, as together we can grow the visibility and impact of seasonal, sustainable British flowers. -
I grow on a small scale - can I join?
There is no minimum size of growing area required to join us, but you do need to have the sale of British grown cut flowers as a primary focus of your business. Many of our members grow in back gardens and on allotments, while others are based on working farms, or have smallholdings dedicated to flower growing. Urban or rural, we welcome flower growers large and small - our main priority is that you're passionate about growing, using and selling seasonal, British grown flowers and would like to help us spread the word. -
Can I pay by BACS?
Yes, you can pay by BACS if that’s your preferred method. However, please note that BACS payments don't renew automatically and can delay the activation or renewal of your membership. You'll need to let us know once you've made the payment so we can manually activate your membership.
When registering, simply choose BACS as your payment method. If you're renewing, please make the payment once your current membership expires and then contact us at adminsupport@flowersfromthefarm.co.uk to confirm you've paid.
If you don't see our bank details during registration or have any questions, feel free to get in touch we're happy to help.
