Welcome!

I’m so pleased that you have found your way here!  It has taken me quite a long time to get here myself.  I have been growing and selling flowers since 2015, but this web site is quite new. 

My aim is to enable more of you to enjoy flowers that have been grown not flown, flowers of charm and character that surpass anything that you will find in the supermarket, flowers that grow in the open where they provide a feast for the eyes and nectar for bees and butterflies.

On my Peak District plot, I grow most of the florists favourites, regularly adding more varieties and trying different colour pallets and combinations. Each year is better than the last and I am looking forward to a great 2018.

I sell to florists, floral designers, cafes, restaurants, shops, DIY wedding parties and members of the general public. If you would like to buy flowers, whether this be a bucket full, a bouquet or just a few stems, please get in touch. 

I love to share my passion and knowledge with others through talks, group visits, open days and other events, and you will find information about these here. 
About:
Hello!  My name is Gill Bagshawe and I have been growing flowers for cutting and selling since 2015. 

When I think about it now, this would have been an obvious career choice for me right from the start. 


Since buying my first house in 1980 something, all things that kept me from my garden have had to be endured. Curiously though, my interest in floristry goes back earlier than that. I can remember collecting flowers from the fields behind our house and arranging them for the dining room table when I was a very young girl. My parents were not gardeners and had little time for floristry, so I really have no idea where this inclination came from!


I previously worked for many years in building conservation and also in the higher education sector, both very worthwhile careers but now I have finally reached a point where I can indulge my flowery passion without interruptions.

 

My own garden is quite small, but I  rent a plot of land from my neighbour. This is just around the corner from my cottage. It isn't huge (apparently it is the size of two allotments), but it is sunny and sheltered and I am always amazed by the volume of flowers that I can produce.


At the time of writing, the plot contains 20 raised beds of various sizes. I also have perennial borders along the perimeters and things growing in pots wherever I can find a space to place them.
