Ellesmere Eco Flowers

Flower Farm & Eco Florist offering sustainably grown, naturally wild flowers for all occasions!


Welcome!

We’re taking a break to work on the flower field. The new season will begin again in April 2023 for flower orders!


The new season of fresh flowers will start soon with tulips, ranunculus and spring bulbs.

Ellesmere Eco Flowers is a small flower farm based in Tetchill, Ellesmere, North Shropshire.

Growing all the seasonal cut flowers & foliage as sustainably as possible, I work carefully with the land to increase biodiversity, pollinators and soil health.

I'm pulling up the row covers on the ranunculus to I'm pulling up the row covers on the ranunculus today with the hope of a bit of rain 🤞 I accidentally doubled the number of ranunculus I had from last year by growing them too well last year.. this row are my extras! I was worried about vole damage but so far so good. It's definitely more exposed in the the field than in my garden where they usually are, but with some luck there might be a lovely crop! #ranunculus #lowtunnel #flowerfarm #ellesmere #ellesmereflowers
Hedgelaying again, and this hedge has seriously ta Hedgelaying again, and this hedge has seriously taken forever, or so it seems, what with having to find all the materials for #staking and #binding the hedge from around the field hedge. I'm enjoying working with my favourite plant/ wood /shrub the #hazel. So common, but for some reason I always love it. Graceful #catkins, pliable #wood for #weaving and making #structures, tasty nuts and no thorns. There's still another month for me to carry on between seed sowing and before spring gets going, so I'll crack on ☺️ #hedgelaying
Here's a midwinter update.. It's mostly scruffy lo Here's a midwinter update.. It's mostly scruffy looking flower beds at the moment, with lots of standing stalks and debris left for the insects. I leave the tidy up pretty late as most things will rot down in situ thanks to all the hard frosts. Unfortunately the heavy frosts also took all the self sown hardy annuals too, so it's back to the potting shed there! In the soil just below the cardboard there is a huge amount of visible white mycelium in most of the flower beds and paths. This is a great sign of a healthy soil, and mostly as a result of the no dig system. Plants benefit from the presence of mycorrhizal fungi, by gaining increased plant health, water efficiency and nutrient absorption, and also by gaining resistance to some plant pathogens. In exchange for this the plant supplies sugars through its roots for the fungi. As with most fungi, it helps to break down organic matter, but mycelium is also an important food source for many soil invertebrates. It's all going on unnoticed down there. All of this is another reason to throw away your spade and stop digging the soil over. Put the kettle on and relax 😁 If only.. I'm tackling more hedges this year, full of Ivy and barbed wire. Another update soon!
Completing the willow plait, and realizing where I Completing the willow plait, and realizing where I'd gone slightly wrong.. but not bad considering the last time I did this was for my son's willow cradle. There's a few kinks in the willow because I didn't soak it first, but it's a nice upgrade to my shabby old basket. #remake #repair #traditionalskills #willowweaving #willow #plait #decorativeborder #conservation
January is all about repairs for me, giving some o January is all about repairs for me, giving some old tools and aged equipment a new lease of life. This very rustic basket I made 10 years ago had a battered top and broken willow so I'm giving it a new plait border which I always wanted it to have from home grown willow. Long live the log basket 😁 #willow #weaving #basketry #homegrown #repair #makedoandmend #newlife #firewillow #logbasket
I'm trying to complete the mother of all pot tidyi I'm trying to complete the mother of all pot tidying up jobs, my least favourite task of the New Year so far😭 . Here's hoping you all had a good Christmas, and now it's back to reality. Plenty of messy jobs to do over the next month and nothing to sell till April. I do love this break in the season - for my mental sanity and the reality that cold weather brings. Thank gawd. #pots

Let's just pop a bit of #sunshine in our day! Now Let's just pop a bit of #sunshine in our day! Now that's better. It's a lovely #morning on the #field, so I thought I'd share a few work in progress pics. Another heavy dew today but a good #temperature for working in as my #planting is making good progress. Lots of things still growing albeit slowly and not enough #quality #flowers to pick much at all now. It is November after all! The #eucalyptus has shot up this year by 2m I'm sure. I'm currently working on a new semicircular #pampus #grass and #herb bed which will surround a seating area for tea breaks and planning. A seat with a view, food for the soul where I can soak up the sunshine. I feel I deserve a few comforts after 2 years! Next year I hope to be making this #business profitable finally, I just keep plodding on. Slow but sure is my motto! Thankyou to all my customers and support across the internet. Community is important. With the countless hours that has gone into the flower farm so far it's also important to me that I enjoy the little things that make me happy so I don't forget why I started all this. An attempt to be the change I want to see, to offer people a sustainable alternative! The birds singing, dew sparkling, grasses rustling are all the bonuses of being out here. There are many mental health benefits to being outside. I'm wondering about opening up the field next year for pick your own flowers - and perhaps other interesting informal nature & people based stuff.. so I can share these experiences with others. The #seasonal changes are fascinating in a subtle, creeping way. The smells, noises and textures, not just the colours help to ground us, make us wonder, stop and think. Send me a note if this sounds interesting and you want to be kept in the loop? #naturelover #mindfulness #wellness #pickyourown #flowerfarm #learning #personalgrowth #sharing #mentalhealth #ellesmereflowers
