This week we uncovered a bed of rye that had been grown as a cover crop earlier in the year.
When it was at its peak we picked it to use in arrangements, to sell at @marketflowers or to dry.
When we were ready, we trampled it down and covered it in mypex. Once we uncovered it, a few weeks later, the rye had created a perfect mulch for us to plant sunflowers into.
Having living roots in the soil at all times and keeping it protected with a mulch helps promote soil health.

Look at this beautiful, soft and summery Simply Seasonal wedding from a couple of weeks ago. The brief was mixed pastel with an emphasis on soft blues, dusky pinks and lilacs. We created the large vase/pedestal arrangement and bouquet with delphiums, larkspur, cornflower, valerian, nepeta and feverfew…to name a few!!

Every single stem grown by us! Picked by us and arranged by us! Perfect for an eco-conscious couple!

In amongst all the flowery goings on here at Blooming Green Jen found time to dash up to @strawbhillhouse for a #foamfree flower demo and talk from @simonlycett as part of #britishflowersweek2026 using stunning flowers grown by @charlottejohnstonfloral It was great to see such wild, interesting and occasionally quirky stems getting a ‘big up’. There we’re definitely a few we’ll be adding to our planting list / begging Char for cuttings or seeds! It was loveky to see @leigh.chappell.flowers too and find out a bit more about this autumn’s amazing British flower event at Strawberry Hill. We’ve been involved in previous years and have always been blown away by the creativity and talent of the florists involved. ...
