Most commercially produced dried flowers are grown on large-scale farms specifically for the dried flower industry. They can be harvested in huge quantities, dried in industrial facilities and sometimes dyed, bleached or treated before being packaged and shipped around the world. 🌍
Large-scale flower production can also have an environmental impact — from land use and intensive farming practices to pesticides, fertilisers, water consumption and the loss of habitats that support bees, butterflies and other wildlife. 🐝🦋
That’s one of the reasons I love growing my own flowers. 🌸
My flowers are grown by me here in Yorkshire, harvested and grown naturally in line with the seasons, and then dried in small batches, and I never ship my flowers outside of the UK.
Growing a mixture of flowers, grasses and seed heads also means creating a little space for pollinators and other garden wildlife throughout the growing season. 🌿🐝
So when you buy from Colne Valley Blooms, you’re not just buying dried flowers…
You’re buying flowers with a story and a heart. ❤️
Grown by me. Dried by me. Made by me.
