It feels abit weird to be promoting our biz and Christmas with the world in absolute disparity right now. I am not making light of the absolutely horror in the news, everyone seems to be feeling it don’t they? But on a lighter note - I hope like me you enjoy seeing positive stuff on these squares. So, FYI - We have sold out of one of our wreath dates, but we’ve got lots of space left at @vutiebeets & @thefarmhouseatpolehanger & our studio, so click the link in the bio to book your space - big hugs to anyone that might need it 🌟❤️🥰

Where’s the summer gone? A break in the rain at least gives the chance to harvest everlastings to use later this year…Harvesting for winter whilst waiting for summer! 🤷🏼♀️ #lifeofagrower #englishsummer #greatbritishweather #bedfordshireflowergrower #bedfordflorist #londonflorist #sustainableflowers #seasonalflowers #seedpods #driedgrasses #driedflowers #everlastingflowers #nigellapods

Dahlia ‘Totally Tangerine’ still going strong. Loving their deep orange raised ruffled centres & pink petals. Definitely a hit this year! . . . #dahlia #britishflowers #allotment #latesummer #flowersfordays #bedfordshireflowergrower #cutflowers #prettyflowers #conveyspetalhouse #summerflowers #inbloom

Chysanthes are still blooming in our polytunnel. . Yesterday I tagged them, as Julian keeps forgetting - so its always a surprise to know what colour they will be. I'm sure my organisational skills will be valued next year, when will officially become a british flower growers #husbandandwifeteam .

Going for a 'one of' creation today to brighten up this rainy Sunday. . Think is compliments our Cornishware perfectly. What do you think? #seasonalflowersalliance #britishcutflowers #britishgrownflowers #bedfordshireflowergrower #grownnotflown #supportyourlocalflowerfarmer #bedfordshirebusiness #cornishware #bedfordshireflowerfarm
Flowers continue to be cut at #merriflowers. Frost warnings always concern me, but we will plough on until the weather wins. I'm still in pink mode, but behind the scenes I'm busy drying all I can for sale for anyone running autumn wreath workshops or anything suitable for wreath making workshops too. . Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday. . Rachelle x . #seasonalflowers #britishcut #cutflowerfarmbedfordshire #bedfordshireflowergrower #grownnotflown
Count up day today for flower requests for Wednesday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday. . In between predicted showers, I'll be counting up Statice Stems for Dried Flower requests, & maybe i'll have a mid-morning coffee break with Julian too. . Such a different work day from what I was used to, but alas I'll be doing Admin this afternoon, so sitting at a desk staring at a screen doesn't go away. . Wishing you a terrific Tuesday. .

Its Sunday & its 1st September. What is the British flower season going? If the weather stays sunny we shall be prolonging our season until the first frosts snap at our flowers which looking back at our 2018 records was late October. Here's our sunny patch of calendula to brighten up your sunday, I'm It's a mass of yellows & oranges & shades in between. Wishing you all a super Sunday.

Achillea still producing loads of stems. Fabulous filler within any arrangement. Better crack on. Its deadheading day fir me today #flowersfromthefarm #bedfordshireflowerfarm #bedfordshireflowergrower #britishcutflowers #seasonalfloweralliance #achillea
What is there not to love about dinnerplate Dahlia? I always find the remark I don't like Dahlia quite shortsighted- bit like saying I don't like red wine 🍷. This is my second favourite dinnerplate (after Cafe au lait). Would love to add another dinnerplate to our plot - but not sure what one - if anyone has any suggestions, please let us know. Wishing you a wonderful Sunday. Rachelle x #bedfordshireflowers #bedfordshireflowergrower #bedfordshireflowerfarm #dinnerplatedahlia
It's Monday & this sleepy bee 🐝 is exactly how I feel this morning. Maybe after a few cups of tea I'll be more awake. Julian has already gone to the farm to review the orders we have for this week (I've given him his clipboard 😊). As for me...I'm jabout on top of admin & just about to create a few Jam Jars of flower to take to my desk job decor friends. Wishing you all a wonderful week.

Cute as a button or as perfect as a pompon. We're loving our new MERRI Flowers 2019 Dahlia additions. We've upped our white flower collection & its paying off. We offer our regular florists & events planners a pre-order perk. It's a win-win Support Local Businesses journey 😊. If you're not on our email list already, all you have to do is ask. Wishing you all a super Sunday. #bedfordshireflowergrower #bedfordshireflowerfarm #bedfordshireflowers #flowersfromthefarm #seasonalflowers #whitedahlia
Yeah it's my flower day 😊. I feel I have a big tidy up session happening today. Reminds me of the days when I used to have to pick Lego up off of the floor to avoid that "Ouch!" moment. #bedfordshireflowers #bedfordshireflowergrower #flowerstagram #fridayflowers #buylocalflowers #seasonalflowers #bedfordshireweddingflowers #grownnotflown
Yeah. It's Friday & we've woken up to a dusting of snow. Would typically go up the farm today, but today I need to finish off a presentation I'm doing for the local NAFAS group, & planning the flowerfarm side of a fabulous new event in July with @the_flower_mill_6 & @eventplanningbycarpediem #britishflowergrowers #snowyday #busyplanning #britishweather #workingfromhome #bedfordshireflowergrower #flowerfarmer #planningday #collaborationovercompetition
Yeah. 7 #floralworkshops already booked in at #merriflowers; 3 co-hosts with @elworthy_flowers, 1 with @the_flower_mill_6 (more to be arranged) & 2 that we (Julian & I) plan to run in June to celebrate #britishflowerweek2019. The @elworthy_flowers #diyweddingflowers workshop is already FULLY BOOKED. Workshop details can be found on our website or under our Facebook Events tab. #grownnotflown #flowersfromthefarm #seasonalflowers #seasonalfloweralliance #bedfordshireflowerfarm #bedfordshireflowergrower
Indoor Zinnias doing well in our smaller polytunnel. Planted a combination of giant & lilliputs to meet orders until end October. #bedfordshireflowergrower #britishzinnia #flowersfromthefarm #merriflowers
It's Bank Holiday Monday 💕🇬🇧. Today I've chosen to showcase annual Scabiosas. Not the biggest of flowers. More of a filler than a statement, but still very beautiful. Their structure is akin to a pincushion & they dance around on a windy day within a care in the world. Perfect for an English Cottage Garden theme. They're pretty productive & favoured by the bees 🐝 too. #flowersfromthefarm #britishflowers #merriflowers #britishscabiosa #bedfordshireflowergrower #bedfordwedding #weddingflowersbedfordshire
Very Pretty In Pink cornflower 💕🇬🇧 #flowersfromthefarm #bedfordshireflowers #bedfordshireflowergrower
Our ranunculus are definitely top on my #springflower list. Especially this peach picotte one #bedfordshireflowers #merriflowers #bedfordshireflowergrower
"It's a sunny ☀️ day " #bedfordshireflowergrower #bedfordshireflowers #britishdaffodils
More bulbs (fritillaries) coming up 💚🇬🇧 #bedfordshireflowergrower
Crocus up exactly same day as last year 💖 #bedfordshireflowergrower #bedfordshireflowerfarm
