Flowers and Floristry
How things grow here:
We are a garden, not a farm, and everything that grows in the garden at Leaston is mostly left to flourish of its own accord. We have a wonderful relationship with the energies of the different plants and we work in a spirit of co-creation with them. We may try to encourage them with many alternative and sustainable practices but we never use pesticides or herbicides. We do not use any floral foam or new plastic and only use recyclable or biodegradable containers and supports.
The following is a snapshot of what we offer - contact us to get in touch.
Bouquets for any occasion
We love to create bespoke arrangements to fit any event or occasion. Everything is hand-picked and made-to-order.
As an alternative to a delivered bouquet we also offer an opportuntiy for the recipient to come to the garden and wander round with one of us and see which flowers speak to them. We then either create the bouquet or the recipient does so while enjoying a cup of tea and a piece of cake.
Buckets of flowers for a DIY wedding
For brides who want to arrange their own flowers we provide buckets of mixed flowers and foliage, pre-conditioned and ready for arranging. Nature doesn’t always agree with very specific ideas on a colour palette so although we try to accommodate specific likes and dislikes, we compromise by offering either a pale/creamy/pastel/whiteish combination or a colourful one.
Funerals and end-of-life celebrations
As I have said before I believe that flowers speak to us and I love creating end of life tributes. So often I discover that the flowers that I have felt drawn to when creating an end of life tribute turn out to have meant something very special to that person. I love that.
Foliage for event florists
At Leaston we love creating a look that is effortlessly natural, and foliage is the key to that. We are happy to supply foliage of all dimensions for event florists.
