Producer

The idea of sustainable flower and plant delivery is close to our hearts, and we’re delighted to have made ‘floral’ arrangements with the perfect partner. Organic Blooms are no ordinary organic nursery. Based in Gloucestershire, they provide valuable experience and training to local people with varying support needs.
Jo Wright, founder of Organic Blooms, started out as a therapeutic horticulturalist. Leading us on a stroll through her little slice of paradise, she had bouquets of enthusiasm for giving back to the community: “For us, staff turnover is as important as profit because the more we grow, the more supported jobs we create at our organic flower farm."
Jo’s got her eyes set on making the wider world a better place with her beautiful organic flowers too. “Where a lot of imported plants are sterile, seedless and bred to have closed flowers, we sow native species which help promote bees and other insects with inviting, pollen-filled flowers.” That’ll explain the healthy buzz around the place then!

Storage & prep

Just a little note: as the paper surrounding the plugs is unbleached, you may find a little mould present. It’s absolutely normal. It’s the beginning of the decomposition process that happens once they’re planted in the soil. Perhaps just slip on some gloves when you handle them.

Where the wild things are
We all love butterflies, birds and bees. Choosing organic is better for the environment. Organic farms encourage wildlife and biodiversity (by not using chemical sprays, and by having more hedgerows, fallow land and wildflowers).
