Jordans Farm: Foliage and Flowers
Grown in season and sustainably
Jordans Farm Foliage and Flowers
We love to grow. To grow with passion and love is to produce a flower that reflects the emotions for which it is then used; as a gift, a wedding, a funeral or to bring joy to your home.
We grow with the seasons, in soil which is nurtured and without pesticides to minimise our impact on the environment and carbon impact of your flowers. In this way we can use our land productively and contribute to combatting biodiversity loss and global warming.
The flowers we sell to you today were ready to pick today, but they might not have been 3 days ago! Therefore, crops can vary, and while we hope to supply with you exactly what you want, we cannot guarantee it. We have the following tips when buying Brisith and sustainable blooms.
Advice when buying British sustainably grown flowers in tune with our seasons
- Choose the flowers for your event that bloom at that time of year in the UK. We have been conditioned to think that because a flower is pastel colours it’s a spring flower, that’s not the case.
- The colour of flowers changes throughout the year. Yellows and white; whites to blues, blues to pinks, to yellows and oranges and reds. The flower colour reflects the preferences of different pollinators. If you love blues, get married in April.
- All flowers have a different vase life. If you need a long vase life, tell us, we can advise you. If they need to look stunning on one day then choose some of the shorter life flowers, they will make your arrangements stand out.
- British flowers are unique, they have more quirks, bends, and movement and a great range of colours. Work with the form of the flower or shrub. Please, do not expect ‘ramrod’ straight stems from us.
- Finally, even in the depths of winter inventive flower farmers and florists can create beautiful arrangements using foliage’s, and dried stems to surprise and delight you but which are still locally grown.
