A P R I L

April is set to be a wonderful one here at Emi Floral Designs! We're loving our morning routines, conditioning every pretty stem, turning them into beautiful arrangements and then heading straight out the door to deliver them! Inside the shop, we're celebrating Spring with all the pastel colours we can find, filling our bunch buckets to the brim and stocking bulbs of daffodils galore (find them in our sweet window trolley). The sunshine is a welcome relief to the rainfall and the longer evenings are giving us a little time to catch up on our to do list!

Alongside our shop shelf resets, we have a refreshed window display, filled with new ceramic plant pots, gardening essentials and a few of our favourites from recent deliveries. We have recently welcomed Seed Folk, Soap Folk and an expanded range of CAHM to Emi floral Designs and you'll also find some favourites back in stock, such as Hollie Startup prints, Botanical Company Candles and Louise Mulgrew cards.

Wishing you a lovely April full of joy, hope and warmth

A little note: We will be closed on Good Friday (3rd April) but back open on Saturday 4th April, 10am- 4pm with a full flower table!

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

A happy hello to April as it in turn brings lighter evenings and all the signs of springtime! This month, we have chosen a rosy selection of blooms in Apricots, Pinks and Creams, soaking up the last of the Ranunculus. To compliment, you'll find Eustoma, Stocks, Snapdragons, Roses and Alstroemeria in our bouquet of the month and throughout on our Flower Table.

Each month new flower species bloom and become the highlight of our flower table & our bouquet of the month. Our April flower table showcases Stocks, Eustoma, Snapdragons, Roses, Tulips, 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!

April is upon us! Rays of sunshine are starting to peek through the clouds, gardens are waking up and trees are thriving with greens and beautiful blossom. There is so much joy in the air as Spring has arrived and oh so many reasons to enjoy being outside!

  • Hydrangeas can be pruned: cut back the old stems to a healthy shoot lower down.

  • Sunflowers can be sowed in ideally a sunny open space. Be sure to water well and keep an eye out for snails & slugs! 

  • Summer bedding can be planted in hanging baskets and pots but keep a lookout for any incoming final frosts. 

  • 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. 

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

We originally began as a market stall, trading at Ampthill Farmers Market every Thursday & Saturday, creating bunches & bouquets for all our lovely customers. In 2019, we moved into No9 Church Street and adore our little shop which is full to the brim with house plants, home accessories, gardening essentials and of course beautiful blooms! 

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.
