Flowers
A bouquet for Tuesday, a wedding in a barn, a spray for a coffin, a hotel desk every Monday, a bunch every fortnight, a wreath you made yourself. Each has its own page with what it is, what it costs, and how to order it; the seasons page says what it will be made of.
01
Hand-tied bouquets at £35, £55 and £85, built from what is freshest that morning in the shop and the garden, wrapped in paper and sent out in water. Choose a colour and a feel, or tell us the person and the occasion and leave it to us. Order by 1pm for same-day delivery across the Vale.
£35, £55 or £85 hand-tied, plus delivery (£5 local, £8 across the Vale, free over £60).
02
From a bridal bouquet and six buttonholes to a barn with an arch, forty tables and the church: forty-eight weddings a year, never two on the same day, a free hour's consultation, a mood board and an itemised quote held for sixty days, and flowers grown for you in our own garden where the season allows.
From £450 for the bouquet, buttonholes and a table or two; a typical barn wedding £1,200 to £1,800; a full venue with arch, aisle and forty tables around £2,800.
03
Flowers for a funeral or for someone grieving, done gently and without fuss: a loose spray or a posy for the coffin, a wreath, a sheaf for a cremation, something soft in a bowl for the house. We work with the funeral directors across the Vale and deliver to the chapel or the home on the morning, and we will take the order by phone if you would rather not write it down.
A bowl or posy for the house from £45; a coffin spray from £150; a wreath from £95; a sheaf from £65.
04
Flowers for a party, a dinner, a christening, a launch or a funeral tea, and the weekly contract flowers for the hotels, restaurants, offices and the dentist on the High Street who have a bunch on the desk every Monday. Quoted by the piece, delivered and collected, and built from what is in season.
Party and dinner flowers from £120; a weekly desk arrangement from £28 delivered; a restaurant's tables from £60 a week.
05
A fortnightly or monthly bunch delivered for less than the shop price, paused with an email; gift vouchers for a bouquet or a workshop; and the shelves of the shop: Welsh pottery vases, dried flowers from the garden, seeds, candles and the cards we print ourselves.
Fortnightly £32 delivered (a £35 bunch), monthly £50 delivered (a £55 bunch).
06
Two-hour workshops at the long table in the shop or, in summer, at the cutting garden: a Christmas wreath, a hand-tied bouquet, a spring bulb bowl, a dahlia afternoon in the garden. Six to eight people, tea and cake, everything provided, and you take home what you made. £48, dates on the booking page.
£48 for two hours, everything included.
The garden
Megan took the field on in 2016 because the flowers she wanted to use were not the ones the lorry brought: sweet peas that smell, dahlias the size of plates, cosmos, scabious, garden roses, and the foliage that makes a bouquet look picked rather than bought. From April to October it supplies about a third of what leaves the shop and nearly all of the weddings, and in September it hosts the dahlia workshop. The rest of the year it is tulips in the polytunnel, hellebores, blossom branches and the hedgerow. We do not use floral foam, we compost everything, and the bees are Owen's.
A hand-tied from the best of the morning, a bowl for someone grieving, a bunch every fortnight, or an hour in the shop to talk about a wedding: ring, send the form, or come in. Same-day delivery across the Vale by electric van, £5 local, £8 across the Vale, free over £60.
