I've just received the new label designs for our new hand picked flowers and they look amazing - the hardest thing is trying to choose which colour.....
British naturally grown cut flowers seems to be a really hot topic at the moment, and when you stop to think about it, it does make sense. As with food we've got used to having lilies and delphiniums in March, or dahlias in May, when really, as with seasonal eating, if we go back to how nature intended it, you start to have something to look forward to each month - a bit like Asparagus season!
The other benefit is that homegrown flowers, tend to be the more traditional varieties, and have a stronger scent. If more people grow their own flowers it will also benefit the poor bee population.
I also have a personal reason for being quite proud of this new range, and that's because of where they are grown, on the hillside slopes overlooking the River Wye, just a few miles from where I was born.
I will be going back home to do the pictures in a few weeks time - keep an eye out as I will post a few pics of our photoshoot on this blog!
