As the start of our season draws closer, this morning’s job is to make business cards using our stamps made for us by @englishstamp. We attach our business cards to all our bunches and jam jars along with handwritten care cards. Taking time to prepare the little things always makes me happy. #englishstampcompany #flowersmakemehappy #flowersmakepeoplehappy #hampshireflowers #hampshiregrownflowers #homegrownflowers #englishflowers #springiscoming #flowerstagram #flowers #flowerfarmerama

After a week away in the sunshine, something exciting is happening under the environmesh …. Our tulips are starting to emerge #tulips #tulipsofinstagram #homegrownflowers #homegrownblooms #flowers #flowersarebeautiful #flowersmakemehappy #hampshireflowerfarm #hampshireflowergrower #hampshireflowers

Our jam jar arrangements feature our seasonal homegrown blooms of tulip, peony or dahlia along with garden gathered ingredients. This afternoon I wandered around our garden to see what ingredients I could find. These are our garden gathered ingredients for January - a surprising amount of colour and scent for a damp and gloomy day #gardengathered #englishgarden #gardenflowers #flowers #flowerstagram #flowersmakemehappy #myhappyplace #englishgardenflowers #hampshirelife #hampshiregardens #jamjarflowers

Busy productive day in the bulb shed’s new flower garden. Job 1: filling the raised beds with topsoil and compost mix from@keburgarden. Job 2: levelling the soil ready for planting. Job 3: writing identification labels. Job 4: arranging the tulip bulbs into our collections. Job 5: laying the bulbs into their new bed. Job 6: covering the bulbs in a blanket of soil. We started in blue skies and sunshine and ended by the light of the torch. Couldn’t have done this without the help of son no 2 and his mate who caked in mud by the end of the day. Season 2 planting has started ….. #flowerfarmerama #flowersfromthefarm #seasonalflowers #locallygrownflowers #hampshirelife #hampshireflowers #flowersmakemehappy #flowersmakepeoplehappy #buylocal #britishgrownflowers #englishgrowntulips #flowerfarmersyear #flowerstagram #tulips #hampshireflorist

On a miserable wet and gloomy day our top nine posts from 2023 perfectly summing up season 1 and the joy that seasonal british grown flowers can bring. From narcissi to tulips to dahlias and our jam jars all bringing joy to new tables. Planning is well underway for season 2 so looking forward to sharing our journey and hope you can continue to support us by liking, sharing and buying some of our homegrown blooms from a hamlet in Hampshire. #britishgrownflowers #britishflowers #seasonalflowers #homegrownflowers #narcissi #tulips #dahlias #supportsmallbusiness #supportlocal #localflowers #flowerfarmersyear #flowerfarmerama #flowerfarmers #hampshireflorist #hampshireflowers #southdowns #southdownsnationalpark #flowersmakemehappy #flowersmakepeoplehappy #flowersofinstagram #flowerstagram #sustainableflowers #sustainableflorist

As the seasons shift and the winter solstice approaches, we have wrapped up season 1 of our growing journey. From just one 5m x 1m old vegetable bed we have had a sell-out season of tulips and dahlias and created our jam jars to be enjoyed on new tables too. The process of growing, creating and wrapping something for others to enjoy has been immensely rewarding and I would like to thank all my followers old and new for supporting me on this journey. I can’t wait to share our plans for season 2 in the new year! Wishing you and your families a Merry Christmas and a Happy & healthy New Year. Katherine x

On our first season of growing and selling our flowers. Thank you to everyone who has followed our journey so far and to everyone who has supported us along the way by buying our homegrown blooms. Exciting plans afoot for season two so keep an eye on our stories for progress! #flowerfarmersyear #seasonalflowers #flowerfarmerama #flowerfarmer #flowersfromthefarm #hampshirelife #hampshireflowers #flowersmakepeoplehappy #flowersmakemesmile #flowerstagram #supportlocal #grownnotflown #sustainableflorist #sustainablefloristrynetwork #cutflowers #britishgrownflowers

Last of the dahlias heading off to a new table - the first dahlias to flower are now the last .. my favourite Salmon Runner with Franz Kafka #dahliaseason #dahlialove #dahlia #flowers #flowerstagram #autumnflowers #flowerfarmersyear #flowerfarmerama #flowersmakepeoplehappy #hampshireflowers #hampshirelife #grownnotflown

And still they bloom somehow escaping the weekend frosts but definitely slowing down and moving gently towards the end of our first full growing season. #dahliaseason #dahlia #dahliaflower #pumpkins #windowsill #windowdisplay #autumn #autumnvibes🍁 #hampshireflowers #hampshire #hampshirelife #flowers #slowgrowflowers #flowerstagram #flowersmakepeoplehappy #grownnotflown #flowerfarmersyear #flowerfarmerama

As the seasosns shift we look at preserving blooms for winter arrangements - here we have nigella pods, fritillaria seed pods, allium and dahlias. We dry our dahlias by hanging in a warm dry space or by leaving in the jar they were first arranged in. Last week’s flowers for the tables @citruscoffeeshop will be bought back to the workshop to continue the drying process and be reused in new winter flowers for the table #preservingflowers #driedflowers #homegrownblooms #hampshireflowers #dahlias #dahliaseason #seedpods #recyclingflowers #sustainablefloristryuk #alliumseedhead #flowerstagram #grownnotflown #homegrownflowers

What is a “bulb”? A plant which has an underground food storage organ …. These are called Geophyte or Earth Plant. True bulbs - narcissus tulips, alliums. Corms - freesia, anemone.

It all starts with an idea …. Plant bulbs in containers which have other uses or everyday containers which are thrown away #pottedbulbs #flowerbulbs #recycledpots #sustainable #springtime
