DIY Party Flowers
For that garden-gathered feel. Our DIY party flower buckets lend that slightly wild and untamed charm to an event, plus the joy and satisfaction of adding your own creative touch.
Each stem is cut especially for you, with your colour palette and chosen vases in mind, and our flower buckets options are designed to suit all sorts of arrangements - see the drop down menus below.
(For weddings: if you are keen to style your venue yourself but would prefer a professionally made bridal bouquet, bridesmaids’ posies or buttonholes, take a look at our wedding floristry options.)
We have lots of vases to rent in all shapes and sizes. You can also collect them already filled with flowers, if you wish, ready to put straight onto tables. Details here.

We grow to three main colour schemes: whites & greens, pales & pastels, and jewel & brights (if you have a different colour palette in mind, let us know when you order). We cut all your flowers to order according to your chosen colour palette and what kind of arrangements you plan to make with them (urns for instance, or table centres, or bud vases etc, see the bucket choices below). Collection is from the farm. You will need to bring clean buckets or waterproof containers to take your flowers away in.

The cutting fields at our farm are designed to be in full flowers from late April to October. We can often provide flowers that are not available from the big wholesale suppliers. What we grow changes constantly with the seasons. Our flowers are field-grown rather than factory farmed, and having real weather on their faces means that while some flowers bloom exactly when we expect them to, some will inevitably flower early, or late… So while we will strive to include you favourite flower variety, the weather may decide otherwise in which case we may need to substitute something else, equally wonderful. For that reasons, we cannot guarantee “x” number of any particular flower.
Ideally you would just trust to put together a really stunning natural mix, in your colour palette, from what is flowering best on the farm at the time.
Our instagram feed is a good guide to what we have flower at any particular time and when you place your order, you can also email us any particular requests or questions.
Highly recommended for an inspiring visual guide to seasonally grown flowers is The British Flowers Book. It has detailed photographs of all the flowers grown on a typical British flower farm month by month. We have a copy at the farm shop, which you are welcome to look through.
Alas we can’t offer in-person consultations or show you personally around the field to see what’s in flower - we have learn the hard way that our most precious commodity is time (making a flower farm financially viable is a ruthless excercies in time management) so guided visits to the cutting fields at the field are by invitation only. If you would like to come to site to see exactly what we grow, you are welcome to have a self-guided look round. To book a guided tour, we offer farm tours.
