Thank you to everyone who attended the talk tonight with The Flower Farm from Denstroude. Becky from The Flower Farm told us about their ethos, ‘Home Grown, Not Flown’.
Flowers are grown in Kent, having a longer vase life and creating a lower carbon footprint.
We learnt about the flowers they grow from seed, not using pesticides, but drawing on nature. The Flower Farm have a no dig policy, so they can create a strong biodiversity, their methods retain moisture which is important with our increasing temperatures in the UK. ‘Pick Your Own’ is 80% of their business and has created a wellbeing environment for visitors. They also run floristry, textiles and pottery workshops.
You can buy The Flower Farm flowers from Faversham Market every Friday.
