British Flower Industry Research

December 16, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

Information is required from British flower growers and retailers for a research project.

One of our readers, a student studying a BA Hons course in Commercial Floral Design at Myerscough College in Preston, is researching the British cut flower industry and would like to know how British flower growers are surviving in this economic climate.

Is this a thriving or struggling industry?

What are the main challenges facing British growers?

Why do the British not buy more British grown flowers?

Our reader would be grateful to those in the British flower growing and retailing industry for any information to allow her to complete her dissertation.

Please post your views and responses via the comments section at the end of this article.

Green and Gorgeous are small-scale cut flower growers based on an organic farm in Oxfordshire, and offering a full on-site bridal consultation service.

All the flowers are grown organically alongside vegetables, fruit and chickens!

After growing and selling organic vegetables for many years. they realised that the same could be done with flowers, as they accumulate just as many air miles and use even more chemicals.

A wide range of flowers and foliage is grown to ensure all the ingredients for a bouquet throughout the seasons.  Growing this range of plants is good organic practice, promoting healthy soil and preventing pest and disease build up.

Green & Gorgeous, specialise in growing traditional, English country garden flowers which are selected for their colour, scent, vase life, novelty and nostalgic value.  Flowers are picked early in the morning, conditioned and stored in a cold room for at least 24 hours prior to delivery.

Visit the Green & Gorgeous website for more information on availability, farmers markets, bridal consultations, vase hire and seasonal bouquets.
