Mmmm coasting through google I found some rather lovely pictures of turtle doves…but then found a rather more amusing picture that seemed to fit even more into the festive period. How fab is that….a beer called 2 turtle doves. I think made in California. I could just imagine sitting by some nice log fire sipping…
Now I know, I know. Those are not the words, but I happened across a rather yummy recipe for pear & cranberry chutney and it got me thinking about the 12 days of the festive period that we are nearly upon. We don’t have a pear tree but two rather nice bay trees sit outside…
We are very excited to be offering Christmas Workshops where you learn how to make your very own wreath. All the materials will be provided and we will be on hand to give you guidance! Now a lot of people see the wreaths that we make and say ‘my gosh I could never make something…
Well, its been a rather varied weekend. Weather wise and all :)….looking back through the photos taken, I thought I would just download a whole lot and let you the viewer enjoy!! These amaryllis are quite frankly sensational, they are currently being enjoyed by customers at Hartley Farm shop (aren’t we nice) These will be…
Now as the title may suggest we are going nostalgic, oh yes we are. I don’t know about where you live but the Autumn colours this year are quite frankly gorgeous!!! As I drive to work along the country lanes I can’t help but see the season in all its glory.But as the photo suggests…

I brought some rather gorgeous ‘largo’ parrot tulips home this weekend from work and it got me thinking how often I take flowers to friends and watch them plonk them in a vase or pop them in the sink till they get round to sorting them out. So my thought was to create a helpful…
It’s been a rather nice week so far…people have been phoning with requests such as ‘well, my friends feeling down and I would love to send a little treat to cheer her up’. That was the yummy sunflowers to the right. Or ‘I just wanted to send a thank you present to my friend, can…
Well, its been a funny week. Both of us sleeping lots and trying to cut down on the latte intake. But the van is cleaned out and the workshop almost back to normal. For those not in the know, we had a stand at the National Wedding Show (NEC) last weekend. Looking back it all…
Now I know in my zest for all things floral/wedding, said I would be blogging every night after the Wedding Show – quite frankly impossible. I barely had enough energy to eat a plateful full of food then collapse into bed, but all in all we had a fabulous time!!! We talked to loooadds of…
