Flowers inspired by English gardens and hedgerows, grown on our farm in Northamptonshire

It all began on an autumn day with a chance conversation between aunt, Jo, and niece, Milly, in the farmhouse cutting garden. The garden was brimming with Dahlias, unashamedly joyous against the cold, grey sky. That day – having taken back to her city home armfuls of Dahlias to stuff into every vase, jug and receptacle she could find – Milly was hooked. These flowers were just so glorious! Flower & Farmer quickly blossomed into a fully-fledged, flower farming enterprise. With over 40 years of horticultural experience amongst us (Jo and Jules are both professionally trained), a sheep paddock was soon turned into a flower field (with some incremental creep into the neighbouring field of wheat) and a polytunnel was installed. To provide colour and interest throughout the season (March to October), we grow an extensive selection of annuals, biennials, perennials and bulbs. We have also planted hundreds of shrubs which should soon provide healthy stem counts each year (not to mention our shopping list of shrubs for this winter…). For locally grown, fresh flowers and foliage that capture the essence of the English garden and countryside, you need look no further!
