Summer

As the bulb flowers of spring fade, our summer season of floral abundance begins with the arrival of roses and the seeds that we’ve sown earlier in the year start to put on an amazing show of variety and colour.  Bring on the sunshine!

Autumn

Nature inspires us with colour as the rich tones of foliage work to complement the fiery colours of late season flowers. Seedheads and stems provide sculptural forms and our members are already making plans for what to grow next year.

More autumn inspiration

As abundance diminishes, the flowers that remain are treasured for the colours and forms which they bring to our flower fields and arrangements. Dried treasures from summer extend variety in bouquets and autumn wreaths and dahlias and chyrsanthemums take us up to the first frosts of the late autumn and winter season.

Winter

A season to celebrate British foliage as the softer growth of summer matures and becomes a firm favourite for floristry. The fresh scents of pine, eucalyptus and spruce tell you that winter is here. Bring them indoors along with precious winter blooms to enjoy up close in the warmth!
