Fragrant, abundant, and full of unique beauty, this June, we welcome British Flowers Week. Celebrating the very best varieties grown on home soil, there are plenty of reasons to highlight their heritage. With a focus on responsible sourcing and championing seasonal beauty nurtured from seed to stem on local flower farms, here is all you need to know about the week ahead.

What and when is British Flowers Week?

A time to celebrate and cherish the extraordinary varieties grown in the UK, British Flowers Week takes place in early June, marking the start of British flower season. This year, the week runs from the 12th-19th and is the ideal time to shop, explore, and learn more about British florals.

Why is British Flowers Week so important?

Now more than ever, there is so much importance to place on championing local produce and commerce. British Flowers Week does just that, highlighting wholesalers, the wider industry, and most importantly - the flowers themselves - to showcase why we should be so proud of British varieties.

What makes shopping for British-grown flowers sustainable?

Much like every industry, working with local suppliers and produce is a key sustainable step. Although not always possible all year round, or for harvesting certain varieties, it is important to remember that we can shop for British flowers when in season. Here at FLOWERBX, we are forever innovating to find ways in which we can work closely with flower farmers based here in the UK, with the aim to continue on this journey.

Which varieties are the best of British?

British flowers are at their best during the late spring and early summer months. During these seasons, you can fully embrace the natural charm of British flowers, not to mention their exquisite scent and cottage-garden beauty.

How are FLOWERBX celebrating British Flowers Week?

To mark the joy of British Flowers Week, FLOWERBX is excited to share our exclusive British Peony collection, grown in the heart of our countryside on the rolling acres of Little Budds Farm in Kent. Available for the duration of the celebrations, be sure to enjoy the enchanting scent, beauty, and floral flair of three limited-edition varieties, as we endeavour to be able to bring even more British flowers into our future core collections.
