That's it, decision made. Our growing season is officially over! The rain has been relentless and even though there's still some dahlias bravely soldiering on, they're damaged and soggy and are looking pretty scraggly.
🌱
This year has been filled with so many flowers its been hard to keep up. We want to say a huge thank you to each and every one of you that's supported us by buying bouquets, coming to chat at markets or entrusting us with your wedding flowers! With your help we've supported a group of people who are living with dementia (and their carers), enabling them to connect with nature and experience things they wouldn't usually be able to access. 🙏 So here's a massive high five from us!
🌱
The end of our growing season means it's time to move onto Christmas things. Wreath orders will soon be live on the website and we've got some really exciting new projects to announce too, so watch this space!
So, this happened today! It's a bit bare at the moment but soon this will be a cosy workspace where we can dream and plan and start creating the next chapter of Roots & Bloom!
🌱
I've been feeling burnt out lately and a lot of that is down to working from home. It's so hard to find a healthy balance when you run your own business as the lines between work and home life get blurred really easily (and in my case, have disappear entirely 🤣).
🌱
This new space will be a place to focus, but also a place where work can be locked up and left for the night. And finally, the best bit... It means we can start to employ people! Our first job advert will be going out next week, so if you'd like to work with us, keep an eye out!
🌱
A big thank you to @wearethehide for offering us the space and making all this possible 😊.
Locally grown flowers just hit different, right? I sometimes get asked why our flowers are more expensive than the bouquets in supermarkets, and this is why. Each bouquet is carefully planned, cared for, grown, arranged, wrapped and then delivered by hand by someone who knows every stem inside out. A huge amount of work goes into each one, all with the aim of bringing smiles to people's faces!

We're cutting flowers from our tunnel every day now so our website is fully OPEN! We'll be out and about delivering bouquets Monday to Thursday or you can collect from our farm instead. Hit the link in our bio to get yours. (These are fully in bloom but yours will come in bud so you get to watch them flower at home 😊)
🌱
All our orange flowers seem to be blooming first for some reason so there's an unexpected tropical vibe going on this week 🌴💐🍹. I never imagined I'd be pairing sultry La Belle Epoch tulips with neon ranunculus but here we are 🤷♀️. I think they've paired really well!

Music up, head down, and GO! I wish I could actually make bouquets this fast 😅. I've not stopped all day and have only just finished. Just enough time to shove some food in my face and then it's off to bed for me 😴. We're up bright and early for the fabulous @pollenmarketsheffield tomorrow, catch us between 10am and 4pm at Castle Gate!

You lot absolutely lost your minds over these campanulas last year! We had so many lovely messages about the bouquets that we made with them and we can't wait to start designing with them again. We've planted 2 beds this year to make sure you can all fill ya boots!

I'm full of gratitude today, for the wonderful people that these flowers have brought us into contact with. The aim of Roots & Bloom is to use our flowers as a way to connect people with nature, themselves, and each other, and last year we saw their power in action!
🌱
Communities were formed, friendships were made, and some of our clients got to experience gardening and working with nature for the first time in years. As this spring gets underway I'm so excited about where these flowers will take us next, and to see the smiles and joy that they're going to bring to people 😊.
Crikey, that was manic. My hands are raw and I'm running on caffeine alone, but a very colourful Mothers Day is finally done! It's been SO lovely delivering surprise bouquets to your mum's, you can't beat the look on someone's face when you hand them a big bunch of British flowers 😁. A huge thank you to everyone that ordered from us, we're expanding our dementia sessions this year and your orders will help us to employ a facilitator to run those sessions, so give yourselves a big pat on the back!
🌱
Now, I'm off to get something more nutritious than red bull in me and then for a very long lie down! Have a wonderful weekend folks!
