Its getting warmer now so its time to get out in the garden! There are lots of lovely outdoor plants like Primulas, Bulbs and Azaleas to adorn your space. Mothers Day is fast approaching and we will have many gifts, flowers, plants and even a afternoon flower event to treat your Mum to.
Mothers Day-
Mothers Day is just around the corner, Sunday 30th March, from Mums to Grandmas show them how much you care by sending her some lovely flowers, plants or gifts! Local delivery is free, we also deliver in the surrounding areas.
Events -
Tea, talk and Tulips!
This year we are doing something new by introducing a special Mothers Day afternoon event! We will be hosting this event on Sunday 13th April, a perfect gift for your Mum. It will include making a handtied bouquet and floral arrangement, tea, coffee or a glass of Prosecco, all accompanied by a delicious cake box provided by Melbourne Deli!
See our 'Events' page for more details!
Mimosa is the traditional symbol of International Women's Day! In 1946, Italian feminists chose the mimosa to represent strength, sensibility and sensitivity. The bright yellow blooms symbolise the brightness that women bring to society!
A snippet of a poem to celebrate International Women's Day, Sunday 8th March, written by Dan Whitlam
​
'Dear Women of our lifetime,
you women are our lifeline.
The ones who bring us into the world,
teach us kindness from a bright mind.
The ones who despite it all,
are still planting seeds in this ugly world,
turning fields of greed into fields of green,
and hate into lovely words.'
Top Tip!
Daffodils and Narcissus sap can be poisonous to other flowers.
Either place them in their own vase or let them have a good drink on their own and after the sap has stopped dripping they then be placed with other flowers,
but do not recut!
Gifts
Keeping with the Spring theme we have lots of seed goodies that you can grow straight from your window ledge. We have flowering plants from pansies to marigolds, herbs from basil to chive and hot chili plants!
If your mum is fan of jewellery we have a nice range of various local designers stocked in the shop. If she's a colourful person then some Sweet Tilda earrings will suit her bright personality. If her tastes are more simple then Lucy Kemps silver jewellery will be her cup of tea!
Hope you enjoy the month of March! Embrace the sounds of Spring, birds tweeting, lambs bleating and the new bursts of life!
See you next month!

Poem-
- O, my Luve's like a red, red rose,
that's newly sprung in June.
O, my Luve's like a melodie,
That's sweetly play'd in tune.
- As fair as thou, my bonnie lass,
so deep in love am I.
And I will love thee still, my dear,
Till a' the seas gang dry.
- Robert Burns

Top tip for Roses:
Events -
We have been chosen to join Amalfi White at their Spring Wedding Fair on February 9th. It is a free event so if your getting married this year, or in the future, feel free to pop down and have a chat with us.
Check out their website!
When you receive your roses, cut the stems at an angle, drop in deep fresh water and place somewhere cool.
If for any reason your roses seem to be drooping at the neck, fill up a bowl of warm water and cut your rose stems at an angle under the water. Then leave to revive for a good
hour, once they have recovered, pop them back in your lovely
clean vase.
​
As a lovely keepsake,
Why not try hanging your roses up to dry, in a warm dry place. This process will take around 4 weeks. Once dried display in a vase but keep out of the sun.
Thank you for tuning into this months blog, we hope you have a month filled with love! See you next month! f

When bulbs have grown tall and leggy, trim the blooms and place them in a nice vase as a cut flower.

Keep your Tulips wrapped in paper, then chop a small amount off the stems and place them in a vase of clean water, Allow them to drink before removing the paper. Trim the stem every couple of days to keep them under control or let them go wild!

Plants
Now that the decorations have come down its time to green up your space with some bulbs and flowering plants to add a bit of early spring. Such as lovely scented hyacinths, cheery tete a tetes and watch Muscari grow into cute pixie hats.
Enjoy them in your home and
then plant them outside
for next year.
When you cant get out in the garden because of the chilly weather, why not get creative and put a few plants together to create an indoor planter that will look lovely sitting on a window ledge or an inside table. Take that fruit bowl or old teapot that is gathering dust and pop some colourful bulbs and moss in to jazz it up. Watch them grow over the weeks and enjoy your indoor garden!
We have baskets, tin troughs and ceramic bowls to plant or why not consider bringing your own container for us to make a more personalized planter for you!
