Creativity made simple
How does it work?
Once a month, a little box of flowers will be delivered through your letterbox.
Our boxes will always come packed with a mixture of long-lasting stems and seasonal variety.
We change our colour schemes on a monthly basis to ensure you're able to enjoy something different each month.
Our selection changes with what is available to pick on the farm and what we source from our sellers, so there's always something different to enjoy.
Subscription Post Cards
Every month, each box arrives with our special edition post card. Each monthly letter is handmade by us with a selection of beautiful seasonal flowers.
Your Posy has arrived!
At times stems will arrive dehydrated due to travelling to your door.
On arrival, snip the ends and allow your stems to rehydrate for a couple of hours before arranging.
Stems hydrate from a cut end as well as through the stem membrane, so ensure your first container is quite a full of fresh, clean water.
Your flowers are ready to arrange when the heads have perked up and the stems are no longer limp or weak.
preparing your flowers
Before arranging your flowers fill your chosen container with 2/3 of water.
Judge which stems will have leaves that will sit below the waterline and remove from each stem.
This helps prevent water going cloudy and bacteria forming which will shorten the vase life.
Change/Refresh water every 3-4 days.
Your posy suits a small vase best and so it’s important to keep water topped up and clean.
Check your water levels every few days and replace vase water with fresh water.
AFTERCARE
Our arrangements are built to last beyond two weeks and most stems are also suitable for drying.
We carefully select a mixture of long-lasting flowers to make up the best part of our posies.
We will always also include some stems with a shorter life span but with incredible scent or great seasonal beauty, so don't be surprised if some perish faster than others.
FOLIAGE
Fill your vase with greenery to create an initial support for the other stems.
Greenery is one of the most important elements in a design, a visual link for the all the other colours within an arrangement.
FILLER
These are usually multi-stemmed branches with smaller flower heads.
Use these to fill the gaps between single, heavier stems and to fill out the arrangement.
SUPPORT
All of our flowers are beautiful and, depending on the season, could be stars in their own right.
Support stems have larger heads or are multi-stemmed florets. Dot these throughout and complement the seasonal Star flower.
STAR
The focal flower and more often than not specifically seasonal to the month.
This will mostly likely be the most unusual in the selection we send and will come as a single stem.
