Oh August! Hello to a fellow friend full of happy days, slow soft moments and warm rays of late summer sunshine. A gentle month to admire all that has been nurtured this year and celebrate another successful season of flower favourites- Peonies, Hydrangeas and now Sunflowers! These bright pops of yellow remind us to look towards the light and stand tall, as they will on our flower table throughout the month ahead. The table is looking particularly colourful at the moment with pinks, purples, blues, yellows and whites in an array of our favourite blooms, ready to be crafted into beautiful bouquets, bunches and arrangements. 

Behind the scenes, we are pottering away, planning all the wonders for later in the year, including calendar plans for 3 separate Workshop’s running throughout Autumn. More on those soon but keep an eye on our socials to be the first to know! For the month ahead, our diary is stacked, creating the most beautiful wedding arrangements for our couples and exciting planning meetings are happening for our 2027 bookings. We are as always, so charmed to have a part on your special days.

Favourites at the moment? 

🌷 Mini Cards! Always flying off our spinner but we’ve had a top up this week and four new additions- a duck, dinosaur, pigeon and rooster! 

🌷 House Plants! Little green gems to fill every corner and we’ve just had a delivery restocking us up with trailing plants- String of Hearts and Epipremnum. 

🌷 Soap Folk! Our soap bars and bath cubes have been a firm favorite recently! Available in a multitude of scents, a luxury to enjoy or pass onto a friend. 

We’ll be here, open 10am- 3pm, Tuesday to Saturday for the remainder of Summer. Pop into to shop and smell the roses 🌷🌷

After a long wait, Summer has arrived! House Plants are fully fledged and growing rapidly with the bright sun rays daily however this does mean a little extra eye and care is needed to keep them happy all through the season: 

  • Up the watering! House Plants will be soaking up much more water with the spike in temperature, so extra hydration will be required. Certain varieties also thrive from increased humidity so dust those leaves and give them a good spritz. 

  • A little rotation! Certain plants will grow in the direction of the sun so if you’d like a nice rounded grow, then be sure to regularly rotate your plant pots.

  • Watch out during heatwaves! If you have house plants on your windowsill, then during heatwaves it would be a good idea to relocate to avoid burn leaves. Keep them in a place with indirect sunlight and they will be much happier for the interim.  

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!

Gardens are now in full bloom as we enter August and envelope the last of the summer sunshine and long days full of light and love. Beautifully scented flowers full of colour adorn every corner and woodlands have never looked so luscious. It’s a time to sit back and enjoy the labours of the year and all you have nurtured thus far, with just a couple of bits to tackle to ensure everything continues to look its best!

  • Continue to cut back Summer perennials after flowering for a second flush, and pick Sweet Pea blooms every few days to promote additional growth. 

  • Cut Lavender with newly opened flowers and hang in a cool dark place to dry. Dried stems looks beautiful in a vase or even in an Autumn wreath.

  • Keep bird baths, ponds and water features topped up with water for any wildlife visitors.

  • Thinking ahead, hardy annuals can be sown in sunny spots to provide early summer colour next year and autumn bulbs can now be plants in pots and borders. 

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