Long lasting flowers
I grow and dry beautiful flowers and grasses. Picked in spring, summer and autumn to capture and preserve the seasons for you to enjoy all year round.
The benefits of dried flowers
Although fresh flowers are beautiful, dried flowers can be a better option
Your flowers will last for at least two years possibly even longer so offer much better value for money
- As long as the room is dry, not damp they should keep for a couple of years
- It’s best to keep them out of direct, bright sun so they don’t fade
- Dried flowers last so long that they could start to gather dust, but this can easily be removed with a gentle blow from a hairdryer
Good for a windowless room
- If you have a room that isn’t light enough to keep a houseplant alive, dried flowers can be a lovely alternative
You never need to water
- You know they’ll still be looking good when you return from your holidays
- Are you running a holiday home or BnB, a bunch of dried flowers is a cheery option you don’t need to maintain
- As the flowers don’t need to sit in water you can keep your bunch in anything you want, they don’t have to be kept in a vase
A lasting keepsake
- Your flowers can make a great keepsake, for instance your wedding bouquet can be framed as a lasting memory
- You can buy them in advance, say for a wedding you could get them a month before and they’ll still look good on the big day
Zero environmental impact
- Kinder to the planet by saving water as they don’t need water to survive
- Naturally air dried so zero energy used
- Absolutely no wastage, some commercially available flowers are full of artificial preservatives and dyes mine are completely natural so all the trimmings and offcuts are composted to help feed future flowers – creating a closed loop
