The Real Cut Flower Company

On the Herefordshire border, a few acres of hillside burst into glorious colour where Charlie Ryrie can be found picking arms full of blooms ready for market, to send out to customers and to create stunning natural arrangements for weddings.
 

Herbaceous perennials are the mainstay of The Real Cut Flower Garden, all the old favourites that can rarely feature in florists’ shops, aong with traditional and less usual annuals, bulbs, shrubs and even climbers.  Many flowers are specifically chosen for their perfume.

Charlie Ryrie grows all the flowers at home in her garden and surrounding acres, gradually expanding into former pastureland as windbreaks take root.

The Real Cut Flower Garden does not buy in flowers from wholesalers and redistribute them.  Flowers are grown on site and sent out directly.  Available flowers therefore depend on the time of year.  You will not get lilies or delphiniums in March or Dahlias in May, you may never get chrysanthemums, but you will get beautiful and often unusual seasonal varieties in stunning combinations.  The season starts with wonderful robust tulips in April in an amazing range of colours.
 

The small business developed from the desire to provide a beautiful and sustainable alternative to mass produced, imported, refrigerated blooms.

Flowers are grown outdoors, without chemicals and are transported with the minimum of cost and no air miles.
