Flower Growing Surgery – Talk plus Q&As with Blooming Green
Wednesday 22nd May 2024
19:00 – 21:00
£19 per ticket - book via our website (link in bio)

Join Bek and the Blooming Green horticulture team for an illustrated talk ‘A year in the life of a flower farmer’ where you will find out how we grow plants to provide us with flowers, foliage and berries all year round.
👩🏼🌾 We grow regeneratively, focusing on soil health, including wildlife habitats in our growing space, we never use synthetic chemicals for feed or pesticides and always use peat-free compost. After 15 years we have 17cm of humus rich soil.
🐝 We provide a pollen and nectar source for pollinators from February to November. Each year we sow and raise 29,274 plants which have flowers that are beneficial for pollinators as well as cutting.
🌱The talk will be followed by a Q&A session where Bek and the team will do their best to answer all your flower & foliage-growing queries.
🍰 Tea and cake provided!

Happy #internationalwomensday2024 !!! We`re always appreciative of the amazing women around us, both close at hand, and around the world but today`s a great day for giving it a bit more thought. So, during our coffee break, we decided to name inspiring woman, in the fields of horticulture or floristry... There were just 4 of us on the flower plot today, when at our peak there are around 10 -- and nearly all women. Some who didn`t get a mention, amongst the list of great women include: Vita Sackville-West, Erin Benzakien, our friend Dr Erica McAlister and the BBC presenter Sue Kent. Not to mention family and friends who amaze us every day. So, have a fab day... and if you`re a woman, give yourself a pat on the back... and if you`re a man, think yourself lucky that you share the planet with some pretty amazing women...
