British Flowers Week 2024
6th to 9th June
Igniting the Passion for British cut flowers British Flowers Week ‘Flowers from the Farm’ takes on campaign from ‘New Covent Garden Flower Market’.
We are opening the gates to our flower farm, here at The Black Horse, on Saturday 8th June to celebrate 'British Flowers Week'. Come and look around, see how we grow our flowers, and meet florist Jessica of Darcey Styling. Jessica will demonstrate how to create a beautiful arrangement using our flowers and foliage, and give advice on how you can arrange your flowers using sustainable methods at home.
Entrance is strictly via per-booked tickets.
All entry fees will be donated to charity, split between WWF and Plant Life.
Should you wish to bring a small vase to fill with guidance from Jessica or me, or take home a small bunch there will be an additional charge of £10. Please let me know the number of bunches / vases at the time of booking so I can pick and condition your flowers.
Light refreshments will be provided.

Gosh it has been a cold start to the year and the flowers are being really slow to strut their stuff however we have some, hopefully there will be Ranunculus soon too.

All collections will be from The Black Horse Flower Shed.
Occasionally there may be plants, fruit and vegetables for sale in the Shed.
Why not order a subscription, or a Pick Your Own Voucher for yourself or as a present for a loved one? It would make a lovely gift
Flowers grown as nature intended
Our flowers are grown sustainably on our Cumbrian smallholding in the Western Yorkshire Dales National Park without the use of pesticides, herbicides or fertilisers (other than compost and natural homemade teas) in an aim to encourage bees and other wildlife (small furry creatures can be challenging!!!).
We will sell any spare plants (flower and vegetable). All our plants are grown in organic peat free compost.
Your small local flower grower is the truly sustainable grower within an environmentally very damaging flower industry.
