The Little Green Flower Company

I’ve been quietly - but busily - working behind-the-scenes these last few months…

The plans I made last year, have slowly began to come into fruition… after feeling for a short while like they wouldn’t!

The land for our new space is ready & yesterday, we signed on the bones of what will be my new workshop 🌸

Leaning in to the universe letting everything unfold in its own time ✨

So excited to share the journey, thanks for sticking around!

The most gorgeous mix of British grown blooms for this weekends Wedding - my little niece was so excited to get to hold the bouquet before delivery!

Beautifully soft, sunset tones for our truly lovely Bride, Abby 💛

& the biggest thank you to the amazing growers, in what can only be a headache of growing and cutting in this heat. The most gorgeous of blooms to create with from the lovely Ashley (& ) & the

A beautiful Sunday spent outside, under the shade of the ancient trees of , chatting, creating & photographing 🌸

A chance to create with complete freedom - using the most gorgeous locally grown blooms.

A perfect Summer’s day ✨

A lovely big hello 👋

I’ve not been around on her for a little while - life, imposter syndrome etc. (the usual things) - so just to pop by & say I’m still here, with lots of lovely things going on in the background that I’m super excited to update you on very soon.

It’s been such a huge season of change & I think my tendency is to retreat inwards. Very much feel like I’ve been cocooning myself, ready for the next changes - the garden has been my little safe space - sowing, planting & learning. I may have grown enough potatoes and veggies for the whole of the North West 😅 but the plans are excitingly, very much starting to come to life….

Monthly flowers will be here very soon too & so will our new little space! So excited to be able to share it with you all soon!

Hope you’re all well & very much missing you all in Marple Bridge ❤️

Happy Easter 🐣

Chocolate for breakfast & now off to explore & then garden jobs await (already had to race out this morning to rescue the cabbages & cauliflowers from last nights v v blustery weather).

Wishing you a lovely (chocolate filled) day whatever you’re up to!

Spring Equinox is here & thank goodness 🌸

It’s felt like an especially long, dark & dreary Winter hasn’t it?

I think like most of us, I couldn’t be happier for the return of Spring & of all the little things that mean the most; the longer days, lighter evenings, balmy nights sat outside, morning bird song to wake up to, evening walks as the sun sets, hearing the lapwings & Curlews overhead, the garden blooming & British flowers returning in abundance 🌸

To celebrate, I’ll be sowing some seeds and getting stuck into the garden 🤍

Happy Mothers Day to everyone celebrating & lots of love to those who aren’t ❤️

Very lucky to have the best Mum & a lovely Mum-in-law too. Always willing & on hand to help - even when it involves requests as incredibly niche as donning a swimsuit in the middle of an RHS show for press day (sorry!).

Thank you for always being the best ❤️

A pick & mix of Spring favourites 🤍

Now the Sun is back out shining again, after a brief intermission of biblical rains & dark, dreary skies yesterday, it feels back to regular Spring programming 🌱

A heads up that we’re sitting Mothers Day out this year 🌸

I’ve been really re-evaluating things since deciding to close our retail shop & how I work within this industry and quite honestly - controversial option time - I dread Mothers Day each year. Like anxiety inducing, stomach lurching dread. To be honest, for most of the ‘big’ holidays I feel this way.

Crucially, from a business standpoint, flower prices become WILD (even more so than usual) & especially when we use premium blooms it is felt even more sharply. Flower quality is just never quite as good - it can be hit & miss which leads to incredible pressure for us to produce a gorgeous bouquet with smaller-than-usual blooms that cost three times as much. It’s a headache each time.

Also, we really love to use seasonal, English grown blooms and at this time of year we are just not there yet.

And my creative little heart really hates feeling like a factory line; churning out bouquet after bouquet… it goes against the style of floristry that I want to create. Little, individual pieces of art.

So, we’ll be happily sitting this year out!

From the end of the month we’ll be back doing our monthly deliveries when flower demand is less & prices are less eye-boggling.

We can organise a gift voucher for these monthly deliveries too - just pop an email over! & we can get one delivered to you in time for this weekend 🫶
