Behind the scenes at a leading UK flower farm
Share
I was fortunate to be shown round Collison Cut Flowers, one of UK’s largest flower farms that is setting the standard for sustainable practices, with biomass boilers, solar, rainwater recycling, wildlife friendly reservoirs, planting for pollinators and birds and hedge-laying. It delivers millions of stems of stunning, high-quality blooms year-round. Their commitment to innovation and eco-friendly cultivation methods is ultra-efficient and means that crops can be produced come rain or shine. In the winter months, MeadowSweet relies more on the larger-scale growers growing under glass to pair with outdoor grown foliage and dried components in our arrangements. Here's our Instagram post with some more of an insight of the farm.
It was a pleasure to meet Ian and his team and they are a true testament to the passion and dedication within the British floriculture sector.
