Saxon Gate Flowers

It all began with a love of growing flowers…

My name is Peta and am the founder of Saxon Gate Flowers.

Growing & selling beautiful seasonal flowers in Biggleswade
Bouquets and subscription buckets in season
Stunning blooms for florists
DIY Wedding Flowers
www.saxongateflowers.co.uk I have been a gardener as long as I can remember and have grown flowers on my allotment in Biggleswade for over 15 years. Growing plants from seed and cuttings, seeing them thrive and sharing the joy they give people is

what I love. The opportunity to grow cut flowers on a new plot of land at Saxon Gate Flowers enables me to grow a wide range of beautiful blooms in an environmentally responsible way. Our flowers are grown locally without chemicals & air miles. Our flowers are grown without using peat so avoiding damaging fragile eco systems. Flowers grown by Saxon Gate Flowers are produced with the environment and nature in mind.

Sustainability has always been at the heart of what we do at Saxon Gate Flowers but sustainability in the wider floral industry is a very complicated issue.

So it was important for me to understand the context and challenges that the global flower industry faces.

The Sustainable Floristry Network, a global partnership, is leading the way in raising awareness about the issues facing the industry and has excellent resources on its website, www.sustainablefloristry.org

The SFN Foundation in Sustainable Floristry is a detailed and very sobering course which I would recommend to anyone with an interest in improving the sustainability of their flower business.

At Saxon Gate Flowers we will continue to work on ways to grow our flowers in an environmentally responsible way.

Hello.....
Spring is nearly here (hopefully) so I thought I'd re-introduce Saxon Gate Flowers and explain what we do.
Founded in 2020, we are a small flower farm in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire growing seasonal British cut flowers.
Our beautiful flowers are individually selected for quality and we only sell flowers that will bring joy.
They are grown in harmony with the environment - we do not use any pesticides or herbicides and only use peat-free compost. Our flowers are sold in plastic free wrapping.
So you can be confident that the flowers we grow aren't costing the earth.

See our website for info on our Bouquets, DIY Wedding flowers, flower subscriptions, workshops and flower farming experience. www.saxongateflowers.co.uk

It was really wonderful to grow and design the flowers for Katie & Ben's wedding last week. Katie had requested a pink colour scheme which we were delighted to provide, with our beautiful dahlias and cosmos.

Dahlia Fairway Pilot
I think these are the largest dahlia flowers I have ever grown! Swipe to see wine bottle for scale. Beautiful pink flowers on strong but short stems. It's probably too large for most "floristry" but looks fab on my dining table.
Have a wonderful weekend ###
