Hello September!
September for us is a month full of planning & preparation; a build up of excitement for all that's to come and the daily joy of Eucalyptus that fills our florist now it has returned!
This Month's Checklist:
1. Hydrangeas on the table everyday alongside other beautiful seasonal blooms, each in a slightly deeper tone as a nod towards Autumn.
2. A dust and reshuffle of the shop to make space for LOTS of exciting new arrivals in the shape of ceramic plant pots, gifts and everything cosy & scented.
3. Launch our Autumn Wreaths and Autumn Bouquets towards to end of the month just after Autumn Equinox.
4. Get ready to open our books for Christmas Wreath Workshop bookings 99 days before Christmas- Tuesday 17th September.
Prepare to be enveloped in warmth as we transition to the most wonderful time of the year...
COMING SOON...
There is so much we are excited for a little later this year, including the return of our Autumn Wreaths!
A beautiful combination of Autumn foliages, berries, pine cones and essentially anything you could forage in the later months of the year. We can't wait to adorn your doors with our gorgeous design.
September Bouquet of the Month
Each month we bring together our favourite seasonal blooms in a gorgeous bouquet.
With the welcome return of Deep Pink Hydrangeas and Eucalyptus, we have paired these with Brown Eustoma, Hypericum berries, White Roses and Alstroemeria to create the perfect September BOTM! A gentle tonal shift as we prepare for Autumn to commence.
What's in Season?
Each month new flower species bloom and become the highlight of our flower table & our bouquet of the month. Our September flower table showcases Hydrangea, Dahlias, Chrysamthemums, Astilbe, Roses, Berries, Snap Dragons and Eustoma. Eucalyptus is back in season and fully stocked in buckets underneath alongside Ruscus.
All of our flowers are available per stem for you to pop in a vase at home or for us to arrange into a bunch or bouquet. Why not let us choose seasonal blooms for you?
Plant tip of the month
As we transition out of summer and into Autumn, plant care becomes much more manageable- thankfully! Your house plants will enjoy the bright sunny days ahead and the lower temperatures so all your really need to focus on is keeping them hydrated. Aim for once a week but make sure the soil is completely dry before topping up. Large leafed plants and ferns thrive from a spritz so incorporate this into your routine.
House plants bring us all so much joy and excitement when a new leaf peeps through so be sure to keep them happy & looking their best. Check out our Beautifying Leaf Shine Spray for the best looking leaves!
What's happening in the garden?
Our summer gardens have been pure joy the last couple of months but with the season about to close, its time to think towards Autumn!
For your flowers: It's time to consider planting hardy annuals for next Summer; collect ripe seeds from your favorite flowers ready to plant in Spring and keep your Summer bedding deheaded & fed well to help them all thrive untill the first frost.
In terms of garden maintenance get ahead with the below tasks:
- Pop netting across your ponds to stop Autumn laves from falling in.
- Check all tree ties and plant supports are firmly in place.
- Clean out water butts and check downpipe fittings in preparation for Autumn rain.
- Tidy up overgrown trees and shape Conifers.
With lots to trim back, take a look at our secateurs- the perfect companion for the next few months!
