Yesterday I went to the Lavenham Farmer’s Market and had a completely wonderful time, as usual. I swear they must pipe oxytocin through the hall there.
As I walked in, I saw a woman walk out with a small posy of really lovely flowers. And I clocked them and thought “wow”. And as soon as I walked in I saw this amazing stand of flowers saying “grown not flown” with the most beautiful garden flowers in bunches, in pots. And, after I’d stared at them all for a while, I bought a small posy of flowers for £5 (see pic above).
They are lovely and if you live in Newmarket, Sudbury, Cambridge, Bury St Edmunds or Haverhill you can have lovely locally-grown flowers delivered. The company – the Suffolk Flower Farm – also does special occasions and farmer’s markets where you can pick up smaller bunches.
Do come and see where the flowers are grown! Cratfield has an Open Weekend on 14 & 15 June, and the Suffolk Seasons Flower Farm will be one of the Open Gardens. More information on http://cratfield.wordpress.com
Fabulous! Thanks for telling me. I will. I love your blog.
