We've launched a pop up shop at the fabulous Anthropologie on the Kings Road in London.
We hope you'll pop in to see us - we'll be there until mid June!

We were suprised and delighted to have actually won the Sheerluxe Online Shopping Awards 2010 for the 'Best Flowers' category.

Thank you so much to all of the Sheerluxe customers who voted for us -may you be showered with fresh rose petals!

Happy to have made the cover of the latest Wedding Flowers Magazine again with our hugely popular and exclusive 'antique mix'- all scented garden roses grown on our own farms.

Our flowers were on show on the Nyetimber Pavillion at the Taste of London Festival in London's Regents Park, this week. We were invited to work with Nyetimber's winemaker, Cherie Spriggs, to put together 32 arrangements using our English grown garden roses and herbs which complimented the award winning English sparkling wines that she has produced. The stand look wonderful and was a little piece of Sussex in the centre of Regents Park!

We used the roses Gertude Jekyll, Chandos Beauty and Evelyn and the herbs variagated sage, lavender, oregano, peppermint and rosemary.

If you haven't tried Nyetimber's fabulous sparkling wine yet then I urge you to do so - they really are fabulous and produced from grapes grown on vines at the UK's largest vineyard estate, where Nyetimber is based, in West Chiltington, Sussex.

The Nyetimber pavillion was one of the most beautiful stands at the show according to the Hot Dinners website ...and the flowers get a mention too! There's a lovely article about the festival highlights on Eat Like a Girl blog scroll down to see a great photo of Nyetimber's stand with our flowers. The stand was described as one of the 'prettiest' at the festival.

I am so delighted to have received an invitation to the private view of the artist Penny White's extraordinary flower paintings at the John Martin Gallery in Albermarle Street, London this evening.

Penny White has organised this exhibition herself in order to raise money for the wonderful Maggie's Cancer Caring Centres which are totally reliant on private funding.
John Martin has gifted his gallery space in Mayfair for the exhibition and Penny will be donating the first £5000 of sales and thereafter half of all sales directly to the charity.

The roses in her paintings were grown on our Hampshire farm so I have sent a large bouquet of our roses and herbs over to the gallery today to help dress the space for the press and private view this evening.

Of her own work Penny says

Curiously, I do not think of myself as a 'flower painter', I am only interested in representing the flower. I try to paint the ephemeral quality of the flower, its soul, its scent, its colour, its pattern, its eroticism, that transient quality that for me is the flower.

The exhibition runs between 30th March and 10th April 2010, although it's closed for Easter between 2nd and 5th April.

Truly inspirational and worthwhile.
