Our flowers have a tiny carbon footprint having come from our own plot or from local growers. We don't use heated greenhouses, just a polytunnel for nurturing our seedlings before they go outdoors

We follow organic principles and do our best to avoid using pesticides or weedkiller

We are passionate about cutting down on waste — so we use biodegradable packaging and containers which can be reused or recycled

As former 'farm kids' it's great to be able to support the local rural economy

Bek: I spent most of my school holidays, from the age of 13, working on the family fruit farm. I have a degree in environmental biology and for the last 6 years have worked in the Kent High Weald leading volunteers in conservation projects and teaching children about environmental issues. I'm mad about gardening, native plants and wildlife - and passionate about compost

Jen: After many years arranging flowers for friends and family I decided it was time to turn my hobby into a living, so moved back to the farm in Kent, from London, to realise my dream of growing flowers with my cousin Bek. I have an RHS Certificate in Horticulture and a certain knack with flowers
