Hello January!

Firstly, a BIG heartfelt thank you to you all for your support last year and every year before- you all make it such a joy to open our little florist doors everyday and we are so very thankful! We are now back open as usual Tuesday to Saturday each week & very excited to celebrate the January blooms!

It's been a busy start resetting all for the New Year- the shop has had a spring clean; our displays have been refreshed; our sideboard sale in the shop is live and we have a brand new window display showcasing our plant care range, curated gardening pieces and all our beautiful gifts for any upcoming birthdays.

Our daily flower table is bursting with a mix of rich plums, crisp whites, soft pinks and some annual delights- Stocks, Ranunculus and Delphiniums are all back and here to stay! Our £10 bunches are a lovely way to celebrate each seasons flowers so pop in to pick one up to enjoy yourself or gift to a friend to brighten their day.

We wish you a happy year filled with joy, light and flowers!

January Bouquet of the Month

Each month we bring together our favourite seasonal blooms in a gorgeous bouquet.

January is full of cold days, brights skies and the joyful thoughts of Spring on the way! Our Bouquet of the Month is truly inspired with fresh blue Delphiniums, crisp white Stocks, Roses, Eustoma, Snap Dragons and Wax Flower- a beautiful mix to welcome the new year. 

What's in Season?

Each month new flower species bloom and become the highlight of our flower table & our bouquet of the month. Our January flower table is a delight for the scents and showcases Tulips, Hellebore, Hyacinths, Stocks and Poppies. As always the foliage buckets are full underneath with Eucalyptus and Ruscus to accompany all our bouquets and bunches.

Every morning we receive a fresh flower delivery and arrange all of our beautiful blooms in vases on our table ready for you to pick up whichever stems you like! Simply pop in a vase at home to enjoy or we can arrange for you in a bunch or bouquet style.

Or why not let us choose our favourite seasonal flowers for you?

Plant tip of the month

Winter is full of small sunny moments and colder days so whilst your house plants are dormant this time of the year, do keep a little watchful eye on them to ensure they continue to thrive!

- Keep them moving! All houseplants need sunlight to grow so be sure to move them when you see some rays out. Just don't forget to move them off of cold windowsills in the evening and overnight.

- Slow down on your watering! Aim to water once a week/ once every two weeks but check that the soil is completely dry before watering again. Give your house plants a little spritz to increase humidity and combat the drying effects of central heating.

- Now is the time to repot! Repotting while your house plants are dormant is the perfect time. Carefully remove the plant from it's current pot, breaking away as much of the old soil from the roots as possible. Pop some stones at the bottom of your new plant pot to aid with drainage and tuck your beloved plant in with fresh soil.

What's happening in the garden?

As January arrives, there is still a chill in the air and the garden lays dormant awaiting the burst of Springtime. Enjoy this slow moment to get ahead with planning, organising and maintenance ready for the garden to be full of colour again in a couple of months time:

- Arrange your annual lawn mower service and clean & sharpen all of your other gardening tools.

- Have a good tidy out your garden shed, remembering to clear out any old seed packets (and jot down any inspiration of what you might like to grow this year!)

- Scrub any empty pots and seed trays clean ready for sowing season.

- Keep bird baths topped up with fresh water and mount bird boxes in a sheltered space ready for nesting season to commence.

Don't forget to continue pruning your climbing roses while they are still dormant and cutting back winter pansies and other bedding regularly- our trusty secateurs could come in handy here!
