About

I'm Frances, a flower grower florist based just outside Kirkby Stephen, Cumbria. I have a micro flower farm/cutting garden supplying truly seasonal wonderful flowers and foliage. I also dry flowers for winter weddings, elopements and wreaths. My flowers are available for all occasions - locally delivered bouquets, weddings, parties, and sympathy/funeral flowers and I also offer a bespoke floristry service as well as loose flowers by the bucket for DIY events and those who enjoy arranging their own flowers. I run flower subscriptions too. No two bouquets are ever the same! Sustainability, seasonality, diversity and being kind to the Earth are the heart of my values. I don’t use toxic chemicals, peat or floral foam, and aim to grow lots and lots of different flowers and foliage in my cutting garden. This is really important to me, as we have wonderful wildlife here in Cumbria including red squirrels, hedgehogs and a varied population of birds. I deliver to Kirkby Stephen, villages surrounding Kirkby Stephen, throughout the Eden Valley, including Orton, Tebay as well as Wensleydale, and Hawes (into the edge of North Yorkshire/Richmondshire). Bouquets and flower subscriptions can be purchased via my website shop www.clodhopperblooms.co.uk/shop, or by calling/messaging me. Local deliveries may be carried out by bicycle with a specially designed trailer, so give a wave if you see a bike and white box trailer! I primarily use my own flowers, and am working towards using only my own. However, if I don't have something, I will buy it from a fellow Cumbrian flower farmer, and if they don't have what I need, I buy British grown flowers and foliage from the wholesalers. If you would like to get in touch and talk flowers, you may message me on Instagram or Facebook, email frances@clodhopperblooms.co.uk or just give me a ring on 017683 71006.
