What about the weather?! We appear to be in for a scorcher this weekend - extreme weather is so challenging and has already made a significant impact on the production for flower farmers...wet spring...too cold...too hot... keep calm and sell more British flowers! What with Brexit, hauliers challenges and 'the rules' changing what happens next week is anyone's guess! Schools out and a perfect time to get promoting!
To celebrate the schools breaking up - we have a promotion on Sunflowers* - go get your wobbly eyes and make some people smile!
Glorious Gladioli! Perfect for teaming up with the Lilies and sunflowers!! Lets make it trendy again LOL - if dried can come back (and yes the new season has started!!) so can these seasonal stems - lets face it - loads of bloom for your buck! More colours in the selection now so rainbow bouquets are go... I might even sprinkle with fairy dust a.k.a BioGlitter for extra sparkle to amuse the teachers!
