  • Good morning from the team @flowersfromthefarm @bbcgwlive Why not pop along and see our stand in the floral marquee, all the arrangements are completely foam free. It’s not hard to create with out foam I can remember my mother who was a florist using moss and various other items like frogs to creative arrangements. In fact she has given them to me along with all her flower books. We are here until Sunday on stand SS3 #flowersfromthefarm #britishflowers #flowerfarmersbigweekend #bbcgwlive #nec #brimingham #floralmarquee #foamfreeflowers

  • End of a busy day @bbcgwlive spent the day talking to lots of lovely people spreading the word about #flowersfromthefarm and also taking about #britishflowerweek and #flowerfarmersbigweekend. People are really interested in the growing of #britishflowers and the varieties that we grow and that they are not to far away from a flower grower wherever they are in the country. It’s so nice to be involved with the shows and wiring as part of a team. #bbcgwlive #flowerfarmersbigweekend #britishflowers #flowersfromthefarm #flowerfarmers #locallygrownflowers #grownnotflown #nonfloralfoam #teamwork
