It's that time of year again - a chance for us to really shout about British Flowers and championing those who grow them. There are so many reasons I could give you (and likely bore you with) to choose British grown the next time you need flowers, but most importantly you are supporting somebody's dream. That dream for me includes the gruelling days during winter, working in all weather conditions, managing things out of my control - did I mention the weather? Physically demanding work, watching the first seedlings appear, cutting stems as the sun rises, receiving an enquiry, seeing a customer smile, being trusted with the funeral flowers of a loved one and getting the professional photos back from a Wedding photographer.
The next time you are thinking of buying flowers, whether that's chipping in at work to buy that lovely colleague of yours a leaving gift, or you're a florist yourself looking to source flowers for your own customers, please consider supporting your local flower farmer.
