Description
Featherstone’s English Flower Co. is a flower farm and florist, growing a wonderful range of British flowers and foliage in a three-acre field in the rolling Hampshire hills, and offering a fullfloristry service, events and workshops from a breath-taking fifteenth century tithe barn.   Co-founders Jess Roberts and Katie Stone have brought together a wealth of professional knowledge and years of experience in floriculture to create their dream business, growing handpicked flowers for retail and wholesale from March-December. They are united in their passion for seasonal British flowers, ethical floristry and caring for the environment.   Sustainability is at the heart of Featherstone’s English Flower Co. In the field, promoting biodiversity is key, by using no-dig methods and adding composts and mulches to the soil surface. No pesticides or herbicides, and no heat or peat, are used in production. In the barn, this means only natural, compostable and reusable methods are used for all floristry (not a trace of floral foam!), harnessing methods from the past with a modern twist to create beautiful arrangementswith an organic style. Featherstone’s English Flower Co. is a member of ‘Flowers from the Farm’ and ‘The Sustainable Wedding Alliance’.
