a table centrepiece for lunch

Using gorgeous seasonal flowers. Dahlia "karma choc", memory lane rose, vintage green and pink muted hydrangea, apricot stocks, waxflower and privet foliage.

a basket of flowers

A lovely lady came into the shop last week, she was lucky enough to have visited Hampton Court Flower Show and purchased this gorgeous basket. She was giving to a friend as a gift and wanted it filled with flowers. This is what the lucky recipient received - what a lovely present


Mountains Country House

From a wedding a couple of weekends ago. Pure white hydrangeas with roses and stock. Check out the love seat, what a perfect setting



purest white bouquet

heavenly scented lily of the valley, with white roses and spray roses with just a subtle splash of delicate foliage
it was truly dainty and very beautifully scented.

just a little something...

what a glorious day today in Groombridge. The shop is full of sunshine and a few little flower posies have been made up ready to take away.


shades of coral, fushcia pink with scented stock and alchemilla. These are the perfect "little something" as gifts, or perhaps a treat for yourself

the new gyp

I have discovered the most pretty little flower.... it's very delicate and pure white

I much prefer it to gyp. It has the look and feel of cow parsley or gyp, without the stink!


It also looks very dainty with peach spray rose and palest blue hydrangea

It's name is Ammi Majus, I actually got it thinking it was flowering dill, but was pleasantly suprised at what arrived. It is also called Bishops Weed and Queen Anne's Lace, and apparently very good for skin conditions. I prefer it in the pot myself...
