The Great British Florist Details
The Great British Florist is part of our small company Wiggly Wigglers based on Lower Blakemere Farm in Herefordshire. Wiggly Wigglers has been supplying British Flowers for the last nine years as part of our natural gardening business. We have found that people love to buy proper real flowers that vary from bouquet to bouquet, that change through the seasons. It makes a real change from the usual imported mass produced alternative.In 2012 we decided to focus on British Flowers and offer a larger selection and so The Great British Florist was born. Our farm has planted a cutting patch packed with traditional garden flowers to add to the sunflowers, wheat and barley it already produces for the florist.All our flowers are proudly sown and grown on British Farms, and this means that very often our flowers are much, much, fresher than their foreign competitors. They will often be picked conditioned and with you within 48 hours, meaning you can expect them to last days longer in the vase. It does mean that some of them are grown in tunnels, but our zero air-miles and straight forward delivery means that our carbon emissions are minimal.There are arguments to support overseas flower production in terms of income and jobs, - but to my mind it is simple. At the moment only 10% of the flowers sold in the UK are actually grown here – that's just madness.Why ship flowers half way around the world when we can grow them here, and when we do there's extra free benefits to be had. Our cutting patch, by it's very nature, is providing a feast for bugs, butterflies and birds. By buying British Flowers, not only are you sending something beautiful and lovely, you are supporting British Wildlife and biodiversity at the same time. A very lovely win, win.
