The Meadow Flower Co.

Plant seedling with roots being held by gloved hand

Sweet peas with some serious roots - this is why autumn planting and root trainers are my favourite method

Table set up with flower farming books and a spectrum of flowers

Set up for my Sustainable Cut Flower workshop last weekend

Chestnut coloured bird box attached to tree in hedge

Put up bird boxes around my patch today to encourage anyone who might help to eat insects

Two blue trays containing plant pots Dulles with compost

The Murphy’s Law of flower farming is surely “You will always have too many flower pots until you need to pot up cuttings”

Bare stems of willow in a white and green jug

Willow prunings - they’ll come into bud soon and look even more dramatic

Seedhead of echinacea with some seeds missing at the top

I leave seedheads on my herbaceous perennials through the winter for the birds, but I also love how they look

Dead seed heads of Burnett

Beautiful bits of my flower patch, even in winter

Pinky orange dahlia with ruffled petals

One of my favourite new dahlias from last summer

Flower farmer dressed in waterproof overalls hoeing at weeds

A cut flower patch with weeds and areas covered with tarpaulins

A gorgeous day for tackling weeds!

Pane of greenhouse glass covered in green algae

Algae build up on the greenhouse is getting serious! Needs to be sorted before I sow my next round of hardy annuals but it’s not an enjoyable job.

It’s been a heavy day but I am cheering myself up by ordering new dahlia tubers

Daffodil shoots poking out through compost

Daffs are on their way- such a hopeful sign. Please ignore the weeds!

Flower patch in snow

Terracotta pot + candle to keep the frost off my plants in the greenhouse

Cobblers’ children run barefoot and flower farmers’ doors go unwreathed until 22nd December!

Are you a dig-them-up-and-store or a keep-your-fingers-crossed kind of a dahlia person?
