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

hours (or less) not days from
