Saxon Gate Flowers

It all began with a love of growing flowers…

My name is Peta and am the founder of Saxon Gate Flowers.

www.saxongateflowers.co.uk I have been a gardener as long as I can remember and have grown flowers on my allotment in Biggleswade for over 15 years. Growing plants from seed and cuttings, seeing them thrive and sharing the joy they give people is

what I love. The opportunity to grow cut flowers on a new plot of land at Saxon Gate Flowers enables me to grow a wide range of beautiful blooms in an environmentally responsible way. Our flowers are grown locally without chemicals & air miles. Our flowers are grown without using peat so avoiding damaging fragile eco systems. Flowers grown by Saxon Gate Flowers are produced with the environment and nature in mind.

Flowers from the Farm at Chelsea Flower Show 2026

I often think that seeing Flowers from the Farm win a Gold medal at the Chelsea Flower Show in 2018 planted an idea that came to fruition when I started Saxon Gate Flowers in 2020.
Flowers from the Farm is the UK trade association for cut-flower growers representing over 1,000 members nationwide.

So one of the first things I did when I started growing was to join Flowers from the Farm. The support and advice from other like-minded flower growers has been invaluable.

Scroll forward to 2026 and Flowers from the Farm is taking a miniature flower farm to Chelsea this week (19-23 May). The mini flower farm will be a living showcase of flowers growing in May and the spectacular floristry that can be created from them.

I'm incredibly excited to have won a place in the members ballot and will be an Ambassador on the FftF stand in the Grand Pavilion on Tuesday 19th May! It's an amazing opportunity to be part of such an iconic gardening show.

Please come and say hello to the team if you are visiting this week, it will be lovely to see you. Keep an eye out for coverage on BBC and social media throughout the week... ###

Sustainability has always been at the heart of what we do at Saxon Gate Flowers but sustainability in the wider floral industry is a very complicated issue.

So it was important for me to understand the context and challenges that the global flower industry faces.

The Sustainable Floristry Network, a global partnership, is leading the way in raising awareness about the issues facing the industry and has excellent resources on its website, www.sustainablefloristry.org

The SFN Foundation in Sustainable Floristry is a detailed and very sobering course which I would recommend to anyone with an interest in improving the sustainability of their flower business.

At Saxon Gate Flowers we will continue to work on ways to grow our flowers in an environmentally responsible way.

Hello.....
Spring is nearly here (hopefully) so I thought I'd re-introduce Saxon Gate Flowers and explain what we do.
Founded in 2020, we are a small flower farm in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire growing seasonal British cut flowers.
Our beautiful flowers are individually selected for quality and we only sell flowers that will bring joy.
They are grown in harmony with the environment - we do not use any pesticides or herbicides and only use peat-free compost. Our flowers are sold in plastic free wrapping.
So you can be confident that the flowers we grow aren't costing the earth.
