I'm a big believer that flowers truly
can make a day so much better. They can turn a bad mood into a much
better one, tears into smiles (or happier tears...) and are a lovely
gift for your nearest and dearest, or even as a little treat for
yourself.
I buy myself flowers fortnightly and,
quite often, for my Mum and Grandma too; but what I really like is
something a little bit different from your generic store bought
bouquet.
Meet The Wild Flower Company.
When I heard about who they are, what
they do....I needed to share it with you all...
As a part of The British Flower
Collective, the Wild Flower Company began because of their
disappointment at the lack of seasonality of flowers that were on
offer, both online and offline, by florists across the UK. They
struck up the idea to offer seasonal, British, farm-grown flower
arrangements to UK customers – put together so beautifully, showing
just how much passion they have for their vision.
Based in Kentish Town, the flowers are
sold online only and they propose a flower arrangement sent to you
weekly, fortnightly or monthly – so for those of you that love
buying weekly or fortnightly flowers as a little treat to brighten up
your home (and your day!), this regular arrangement is perfect.
Their values really are something to
draw attention to – TWFC are
as passionate about their work as British flower growers and not only
providing seasonal flowers but local, high-quality flowers that
benefit not only the British farmers but also the environment and, in
turn, the customer.
A little about the subscription for
regular arrangements:
TWFC offer an open-ended subscription
(with no end date – you send them an email of any amendments or
cancellations you want to make!)
As I said before, you can have these
beautiful flowers delivered to your home weekly, fortnightly or
monthly, with prices starting from £24, which includes delivery. If
you wanted, fixed term subscriptions are available so you could give
their service a whirl for 3 months and see what they're all about. I
also think this service is a BEAUTIFUL gift for mums-to-be. You could
send them a monthly arrangement during their pregnancy as a little
something to put a smile on their faces.
My personal favourite is the 'Each
Season' service – a different arrangement sent to you every three
months for a year. If you're like me, there is so much beauty to be
seen as we enter each new season. With TWFC offering seasonal
flowers, this will mean high-quality and a bouquet looking its
absolute best.
Do you need anymore reason to get
yourself this subscription?
These flowers look like nothing you
will see in your local supermarket, nothing you can mail order from
the internet and probably nothing like you'll see in your local
florist. The idea they've created really is innovative and I am so
pleased to discover them.
Their flowers aren't ones that travel
for days and days by mail – they're cut the day before they are
shipped; not frozen, not heated but arriving perfectly fresh. The
best bit? If you take care of them, they last for a long time –
giving them a little cut, changing their way – it really does keep
them looking healthy and freshly arranged.
For those of you that know me or have
read my blog for a while now, you'll know I like things a little bit
different. Well these arrangements are definitely that – kind to
the environment with no air mileage (unlike 90% of the flowers in the
market today that are imported from the likes of the Netherlands and
Israel, amongst many others)
I'm a big believer in buying British –
I think it's a terrible shame that in instances like this, we rely of
imports. But buying from The Wild Flower Company, wel that means the
revival of local farmers growing British flowers, an
environment-friendly service that not only benefits the growers but
also the customers.
A little about the pricing:
For the quality
you get, I truly believe these reasonable prices reflect the high
standards delivered direct to your door:
A three posies per week package costs
£24 (p/w)
Weekly packages - £28 (p/w)
Monthly packages - £32 p/m
Seasonal packages (4 bunches per year)
- £128 (p/y
Pregnancy packages (6 seasonal bunches
over 6 months) - £168 (p/a)
These subscriptions can be a one off or
time specified (for that generous, thoughtful gift) or an open-ended
thing for you to amend or cancel at any point.
Seasonal, British, locally grown
flowers of high-quality that scream diverse, passion and DIFFERENT.
And that's the best thing, they're that little bit different!

themselves – they are beautiful
