A happy hello to May and the return of Peonies! Our table, flower shop designs and bouquet of the month all feature these absolute beauties, bringing joy each time watching as our Coral Charm variety fade in colour as they bloom. But you'll only find them around for a short while, so be sure to pick up a stem or two to enjoy!

Inside the shop, you'll find a variety of treasures from gardening supplies to home accessories. Garden storage bags and hanging bird baskets have just arrived alongside a restock of our mini cards and much loved ceramic hearts. House plants are back in rotation with String of Hearts and Calatheas arriving this week and more to be delivered across the month with house plants awaking and back in growing season.

Bunch buckets remain topped up, flowers delivered daily, window refreshed sporadically and wedding season fully underway under the gorgeous sunshine of spring! What a wonderful month it's set to be!

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

With pretty Peonies back in season, they are happily centre stage for our May bouquet of the month. We have chosen the Coral Charm variety with their colour changing nature and paired their vibrant tone alongside more neutral whites and spring yellow for a delightful arrangement, sure to bring joy!

Each month new flower species bloom and become the highlight of our flower table & our bouquet of the month. Our May flower table showcases Peonies, Stocks, Eustoma, Snapdragons, Roses, Ranunculus, Clematis, Sweet Peas, Wax Flower and Alstroemeria. As always the foliage buckets are full underneath 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?

As we move into Springtime, House Plants begin to come alive again! The sunshine and additional warmth on their leaves, gives them a much needed boost to start growing again. Now is the perfect time to repot if you think they require a little more space and we’ve included a few handy tips for this below: 

  • Try to remove as much of the old soil off of the roots of your house plant before repotting in new soil. Also give the roots a little massage to activate growth. 

  • Pop a few stones at the bottom of your new pot, before placing soil on-top- this will aid with drainage to ensure your plant isn’t sat in water.

  • Aim to water once a week but double check the soil is completely dry before topping up. Be sure to add leaf dusting to your routine to ensure there is no barrier to sunlight and photosynthesis can occur!

If a little extra help is needed, have a look at our Plantsmith range; full of little concoctions to aid with growth, health and shine!

A happy hello to May and the middle of Spring with endless rays of sunshine and gardens coming into full bloom! There’s lots to be doing outside not only to enjoy the rest of the season but prepare for the arrival of Summertime. A few tasks to get stuck into: 

  • Remove any faded spring bedding, such as wallflower and forget-me-nots. 

  • Summer bedding and annuals such as sunflowers and cosmos can now be planted. A selection can be tucked neatly into hanging baskets but just keep an eye out for any unexpected frosts! 

  • If your grass is looking a little bare in places, now is the perfect time to sow grass seed- just don’t forget to water throughout the month! 

  • If you have a greenhouse then now is the time to sow herbs and vegetables in pots or trays: basil, chives, coriander, runner beans, sweetcorn and cucumbers are all great ones to get started! Don’t forget to give your greenhouse glazing a good clean to let in as much light as possible. 

  • And finally, don’t forget to slow down and enjoy the joys of this time of the year, soaking up all of the sun, pretty flowers and wildlife around us. 

Have a little look at our new SeedFolk seed kits below, with each variety containing five different seeds to plant and watch grow!

Each floral design is created with high quality seasonal flowers and bespoke to each & every customers request. Our collection ranges from beautiful bouquets to filled jam jars to unique mossed fish bowls of flowers. Have a browse of our full range online or visit us in Ampthill to discuss. 

We also cater for any occasions you may have upcoming. We specialise in bespoke designs for Funerals and Events, and after a free consultation we will be sure to make your floral dreams a reality. Heart is at the base of every creation, and we hope our flowers bring you as much joy as we have creating them.
