Hello October!

A happy hello to the month of October, Autumn and the slow beginning of Christmas excitement & cheer! If your an early elf then we are fully prepared to discuss all things wreaths, baubles and centrepieces; but if your not quite ready yet then we will be fully stocked all the way into December.

The shop has been dusted from top to bottom and filled with lots of lovely new arrivals! We have warm beige, brown and hessian plant pots, a new ceramic collection, gifting ideas for every relative and candles galore!

Our Flower table has also been enveloped in Autumn and is full of warm yellows, deep raspberries, and plum tones- alongside oak leaves, berries and burgundy Hydrangeas. Our new bouquet of the month features all and is one of our favourites this year!

It may be cold outside but theres plenty of warmth and comfort to be felt this time of the year.

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

This months bouquet captures the beauty of Autumn falling leaves and is warm in colour with orange, mustard and dusky pink. Chrysanthemums, Roses, Hypericum Berries, Snap Dragons, Eustoma and Astrantia whole heartedly say hello to October!

What's in Season?

Each month new flower species bloom and become the highlight of our flower table & our bouquet of the month. Our October flower table showcases Hydrangea, Chrysanthemums, Astilbe, Roses, Berries, Snap Dragons and Eustoma. Eucalyptus is back in season and fully stocked in buckets underneath alongside Ruscus and oak leaves.

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?

The garden has transformed in colour as we now embrace Autumn and the evenings definitely have a chill in the air. It's a month to lend some consideration to the wildlife outside that are preparing for the winter ahead. If possible, build a log pile and pop leaves & twigs in corners for them to gather and shelter in.

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 prevent 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!
