Our completed installation for Festival of Flowers 2026. It turned out even better than we first envisioned. We've never done an installation this big before and we are super proud of ourselves! 🙌

100% Sussex grown flowers, 100% floral foam free, sustainable mechanics.

Over the past few days we've had the most wonderful comments and compliments which has been so kind, so thank you!

It's been a delight bringing Caroline’s () vision to life, and we thank everyone at the Cathedral for our involvement. You can still visit to see ours and the 60 installations in the Cathedral today and tomorrow along with our flower stall in the Cloisters to take away a snippet of the festival to enjoy at home.

A special thanks to Tracey () for a wonderful Monday and Roz for also helping us cut on Sunday.

We are excited to let you all know that we are privileged to be taking part in this year's Festival of Flowers! 🌸

Our installation, 'Moonlit Meadows', will feature 100% British blooms, grown by us. We may be the first flower farm to do this for the festival - we'd love to know if we are wrong!

Yesterday we cut just over 1,000 stems for our design. After dropping them off last night, they're ready to be arranged today. With no floral foam in sight and 100% reusable/recyclable mechanics, we're keeping things as environmentally conscious as possible.

Wish us luck today! This is the biggest installation we've ever undertaken 🤪

The cathedral is open for the festival Wednesday to Saturday, and we will also be on the grounds with a market stall. We'd love to see you there!

Catching up on the last three weeks. In the thick of May's madness with not enough hours in the day!

Thanks for everyone's patience in our response time. We are trying our hardest to not miss anyone 💚

One great thing about growing seasonally is that flowers come and go - so there is always the next thing to look forward to.

This year’s ranunculus and tulips are now finished for the year and we won’t see them again until 2027! The ranunculus tunnel is being cleared and prepped ready for 600 zinnia plants in the next few weeks and the tulip beds are ready for dahlia planting very soon.

New 2026 crop - Omphalodes! (Pic 5). An early frothy single gyp-type flower. Our first time growing it and it will definitely return next year. What do you think?

Sweet peas will be in high abundance soon, with so much in the field about to pop. Cornflowers, sweet william, canterbury bells, aquilegia, sweet rocket, larkspur, alliums, and lots more to come.

Lots of things happening for the first time this season!

800 of the first half-hardies planted out into the new annual long border.

The first sweet peas! Look at the length of that stem - the longest we have ever grown!!

First batch of 900 zinnias pricked out (and Juniper approved 🐈‍⬛️) ready to replace the Ranunculus in tunnel 1 in a few weeks time.

Welcoming our first bees that we'll be looking after ourselves.

Our first sell out of the year!

Today leaves us with a reset day on the farm, watering, planning, and organising everything for the week ahead ☀️

Life on the farm is a little manic this time of year, but so much to enjoy and even more to look forward to!

Spring flowers have been at their peak, some really lovely orders have headed out the gate over the past 10 days, ranunculus and tulips being the stars of the show.

Pic 2. The BIGGEST ranunculus flower we've ever seen (and grown!), not sure the single plant producing flowers that size knows what its doing 🤣

Pic 5. First batch of cosmos is out. Earlier than ever before.

Thousands of plants already in the ground, thousands of plants waiting to get into the ground and thousands of seeds still to sow! All quality controlled by Juniper of course 🐈

Week 3 of tulip season here at the farm with just another week or so to go. Far earlier than other years for us, but the good news is there has been a good harvest window. Our early and later varieties have actually gone to plan with a good difference in their flowering times, unlike last year! 🤣

These tulips aren't like your supermarket ones! 40cm+ tall, often with the bulb attached (which can make them last longer in a vase), huge colour range, and 25–30 petals per flower with the doubles!

We had a total of around 3,000 in the ground, with approx 3/4 harvested. We are making the remaining harvest of our tulips this week.

How you can get your hands on the last remaining tulips until next year:

Chichester Farmers Market – This Friday 17th April, 9–2.

Our "Buy Flowers" form on our website to request a bunch for collection when best suits you - or give us a message on here!

Honesty stall restock THIS Saturday, featuring a mix of all our remaining varieties. 😍

So many plants on the go at the moment with lots being planted out recently ready for a flower filled summer! Half our dahlia crop (450 ish tubers) potted around 4/5 weeks ago showing really good signs of movement.

Lots of perennials going in including Lupins, Bearded Iris and Scabious. Summer annual crops including cosmos, strawflower, statice, coreopsis, sunflowers all waiting to be kicked out of the tunnels very soon. First spring batch of antirrhinum (1000 plants!) is in the ground.

Keeping on top of the sowing and planting is the most important thing over the next few months to give us the longest flower season possible! 🌱

With this mini spring heatwave (just like last year 🙄), like all growers, we've got an abundance of blooms ready to pop due to this short period of spring heat. We have so many wonderful flowers, many of these are our absolute favourites.

Including specialty tulips (parrots, doubles, frilly etc), Ranunculus, Icelandic poppies and more. Pop by anytime between these times, we'll be selling by the stem so you can make your own bunch to suit any budget.

🚗 Limited parking available on site, please drive through our farm gate.

Any questions let us know, we hope to see you soon,

We ended our very busy weekend with a great day , our first ever London market. It was a very long day but a joy to meet so many flower lovers and friendly fellow traders!

Thank you to everyone who bought from us, appreciated our flowers, said hello and supported us and our fellow British growers.
