Seasonal Calendar
Each season brings new flowers and foliage, our flowers come and go as nature intends. We grow what nature gives us and our soil and weather allows. Everything has its natural season where temperature, light and rainfall create the perfect environment for growing.
The global trade in flowers has led people to believe that flowers of all kinds are available all year round. This predictability is convenient but not good for the planet. Flowers shipped from overseas travel thousands of miles and are pumped with chemicals to preserve them.
We are unashamedly seasonal. When our flowers are done for the season, something new and equally beautiful will take their place.
To give you a sense of what flowers when, take a look at our seasonal guide to flowers.
