Pinks for 16th Century Garden

English Heritage require the help of all dianthus (Pinks) growers.

Heritage species are required in the restoration of the 16th Century Elizabethan Gardens at Kenilworth Castle.

Arranging Christmas

Flower displays in public venues, churches and homes start to take on a seasonal Christmas theme.

With so much evergreen foliage, holy, berries and twigs around, we do not have to go far to find some of the basics needed for creating wonderful Christmas displays.

Flower arrangements are very popular at this time of year, often taking the place of a traditional Christmas tree. Lack of space, young children and pets make us think differently about how we decorate our homes.

The following video shows you how to create a simple but effective candle display.

If you are creating an arrangement with a seasonal theme using British grown or wild fauna,  we would love to feature your display and give you a mention.
