Sustainable Flowers

I'm passionate about making cut flowers as sustainable as possible. Flowers are our gift from nature, so I want to give back - by keeping them local, seasonal, organic and cutting out the waste and plastic.

British flowers

All Umbel flowers are grown in the UK, either by myself or other British growers.

Umbel's locally and organically grown flowers

Locally grown

Locally grown flowers not only have a lower environmental impact, but a unique character & freshness too.

Wildlife friendly

I grow my own flowers organically to help protect our precious insect life, soil health and wildlife.

Seasonal flowers

Using only seasonal flowers means they reflect the wild and natural beauty of the changing year.

Reducing waste

I work hard to cut waste and am committed to never using single use plastic or floral foam in my work.

Carbon footprint

Keeping it local means minimal flower miles, while growing outdoors unheated helps cut impacts too.
