Welcome to the very first newsletter from us at The Flower Farm.

We have been saying for years that we should do a regular email newsletter, but it has always been just one of those things that we didn't get around to. We finally got ourselves organised and here it is! We hope you enjoy it. 

September was a busy month for us at The Flower Farm. We worked on some gorgeous weddings in beautiful venues, we held our first Autumn Wreath making workshop, delivered some stunning bouquets and enjoyed some delicious cake! 

We really love Wyresdale Park wedding venue. It's a stunning venue packed with rustic charm whilst maintaining an element of elegance. The colour scheme for this wedding was perfect there. 

An added bonus of working at Wyresdale is The Apple Store Cafe, where we treated ourselves to some delicious takeaway scones which we thoroughly enjoyed with a cup of tea in front of the Aga whilst reading a couple of lovely thank you notes from our happy couples............Is this the best part of our job?........Maybe! 

We have planned to take a day off soon, and enjoy a walk around Nicky Nook and lunch there before it gets too hectic with Christmas.

In September we also held our first Autumn wreath making workshop at The Farm, Burscough. We really enjoyed the event and the ladies attending made the most stunning wreaths for their doors. 

Seasonal wreaths have become more and more popular over the last few years and this is a trend we are definitely here for, a wreath is for life, not just for Christmas! It is a perfect way to add a bit of seasonal colour to your door and give a warm welcome to guests. 

Autumn wreaths are still available to order from our Website, these will last you right through till you replace it with your Christmas wreath and even beyond. 

Of course the workshop wasn't all about the wreaths, we had to include some delicious food! A Prosecco afternoon tea was enjoyed by all. 

Thank you to Cathy and the team at The Farm for having us.

Christmas At The Flower Farm

Over the last few weeks we have been working away behind the scenes thinking about and developing our Christmas products for 2023. 

We took the decision to have a break from in person workshops this year, but if we miss them too much they might be back next year! 

This year we are offering our increasingly popular wreath making kits, so you can create your wreath in the comfort of your own home either as a quiet afternoon to yourself or as a fabulous festive fun event with friends. We include a full instruction video so it's just like having (a slightly more polished version) us with you there. 

There are various types of kit available, including the option of a takeaway afternoon tea from The Farm to make your wreath making extra special. You'll find all the details here.

We know that not everyone has the time to make their own wreath and that it isn't everyone's cup of tea so of course we are taking orders for gorgeous hand made wreaths from us too. You can always pass it off as your own work, we promise not to tell! 

Over the next couple of weeks we will be spending time searching for ideas and planning the design for our 2023 table centres, so watch this space for details! 

We will also be attending the Rufford Artisan Fair on the last Sunday of the month. We loved meeting so many customers in August and are really looking forward to being here again.

After the very strange weather we have been having so far this autumn, this week has seen the first of the frost here at The Flower Farm. It's so pretty, but also a little bit sad for us as we know that is signals the imminent last of the homegrown flowers for the year.

We hope you have enjoyed reading our first newsletter and will continue to follow along on our flowery adventures. If there is anything you'd love to see more of on these emails, please do let us know on alison@theflowerfarm.co.uk and we will do our best to include as much as we can of what you'll love reading. 

Sending lots of love
Alison & Clare
