3 Grown not Flown All our flowers are grown here in Surrey & picked fresh to order The pictures in this brochure are not stock photos, they are all flowers grown at Hill top farm in 2013, and photographed by Claire Brown, Plantpassion, or Emma Davies of Loveyourpics. A B D C Why use us? For 30 years the UK Cut Flower market has been in decline. Cheap imports from abroad have meant that it s been easier to order from Dutch wholesalers and have flowers flown in from all round the world, all year round. Now however Dutch subsidies are lower, travel costs are higher, and customers are realizing that it might be better to get their flowers grown in England rather than Ecuador for the vase. With that in mind, we offer Freshness Our flowers can be with you 8 hours (or less) not days from when they were cut Scent No cooling, no chemical conditioning, mean maximum scent Service Someone at the end of the phone, , or text..
