Great long weekend at Raby Castle plant fair talking British flowers and sharing some examples. Not sure my children or plants still recognise me after this week - back to business as usual from tomorrow (sighs as she puts away the flowery dresses)

Good company in the form of Debs at Periwinkle Barn and Kate from Windyridge Flowers.

Yey !

Britain’s hidden £30m flower farming industry gets official recognition — just in time for Chelsea

An industry dominated by women, built on birdsong and biodiversity, has spent years invisible to government statistics. That changes now. Walk into a British flower farm in summer and the birdsong is almost deafening. But until this week, the Treasury couldn’t hear it. The £30 million* a year generated by the UK’s flower farming industry has, until now, been invisible, absorbed into the catch-all figures of broader agriculture, its contribution uncounted, its flower growers unrecognised. That changes today. Flowers from the Farm, the trade body representing over a thousand British flower growers, has been awarded dedicated Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes, the formal economic identifiers that allow a sector to exist, officially, in the eyes of government, funders and policymakers.

The award of SIC codes, secured with persistent backing from Liberal Democrat MP Sarah D**e, is more than a bureaucratic milestone. For the first time, the economic contribution of British flower farming can be tracked, measured, and used as the basis for funding applications, academic research, and government support.

It’s been a bit of a mad week - Chelsea on Tuesday and Wednesday and Raby this weekend. Here’s a few from the crazy world of Chelsea and the fantastic Flowers From the Farm stand - the best display of all (I may be slightly biased !)

Tulips and blossom, potting up hundreds of dahlias and hardening off the first seedlings - it must be April!

The narcissi are nearly over and tulips are taking stage. Popped up to Raby to see the Amelanchier and cherry blossom - it’s such a treat to have this on our doorstep.

Bunches of tulips from £10

And just like that it feels like we’ve moved into spring. After the wettest of Januarys and a fall on the ice (shoulder = ouch even now), I’m starting to do a few small orders. We’ve a new addition to the team - Winnie is fascinated by dried flowers and seeds and rarely sits still!

It’s been a hectic few weeks but I’m finally sat in front of the tree looking forward to tomorrow with friends and family.

Happy Christmas everyone !
