    The Start of 2020 Weddings

    Hello, from a little flower garden in Devon. I’ve just picked flowers for my first 2020 wedding, and I can’t begin to explain the bliss in that process. So much happiness in a simple task, that perhaps before I’ve taken slightly for granted (or at least gotten very used to).

    Everything has gone out the window with the plans we had for this year, but it feels like now we’ve dusted down, and are finding our feet again. Through the past few months we’ve been given time to think, process and make plans. Part of that is how I run Holly Bee and what I want for the future… So changes will happen, nothing drastic just shifts in the directions I want (but all good things).

    Anyway, wedding flowers! With the changes announced last week, smaller weddings are starting to take place again, and our garden is full of wonderful flowers, and we’re available for your floristry needs! Seasonal, beautiful flowers grown here in Devon. Get in touch with any requirements you have. Also we’re still doing local bouquet deliveries around Dartington/ Totnes and the local area HMU for flowery goodness…

    Local Flower Deliveries

    Local Flower Deliveries

    I’m notoriously slack at blogging at the best of times, but since the past month I haven’t known what to say. Most of my work (events and weddings), has been postponed, and everything happened in a bit of a blur. Having taken time to process and adjust as best we can (it’s an on-going process right?!), we still want to share our beautiful flowers with  the local community.

    So! We are now providing contactless deliveries of seasonal flowers, field to vase, to give you a bit of beauty and calm in your home. These would be simple hand tied bouquets of whatever’s looking best in our field that week- £10 a bunch. It’s a way of still growing and providing flowers but in a safe, contactless way. Email or phone to place your order: holly@hollybeeflowers.co.uk or 07811375515.

    At the moment this would include flowers like tulips, anemones, ranunculus and poppies- examples below.

    We’re based in Dartington, and can deliver locally (email us if unsure), to places including Totnes, Ashburton, Dartmouth etc.

    Gift bouquets are also available- starting from £30.

    So…  there will still be flowers! And yes, adjusting and keeping on. Take care x

     

     

    New Beginnings

    New Year (a little update)

    I’m very aware I haven’t updated the blog in rather a while… but it’s the start of a new year, and lots of exciting things for Holly Bee. There are so many amazing  photos from last year, that I didn’t know where to start (perhaps why I’ve been procrastinating for so long)? I’ll get round to sharing lots, but in the meantime here are some images from a shoot I provided flowers for back in November (we still had flowers growing then!). It was such a mild start to the winter that I was able to pick all the flowers from our garden, except for the ranunclus which came from a local grower. Looking at these photos is making me long for spring and having an abundance of flowers again: it will come…

    An April with no rain

    It’s been warm and dry here for what seems like forever. This evening I’m going out watering, and have been doing weekly waters for the past month or so… I can’t remember ever needing to do this in April before, especially in Devon. I think looking seriously at an irrigation system with drip tape is definitely required; standing with a hose, and lugging watering cans about the place is so time consuming, let alone exhausting! The weather has also made everything grow quickly, in fact tulips are nearly over, and peonies are getting ready to bloom. Here’s the best of our flowers from the past few weeks.
