We are so delighted to talk at the Chatsworth Garden and Plant Fair from Friday 7th June to Sunday 9th June 2024. Each day at 11am, we’ll talk about two of our very favourite things – sustainable planting and dried flowers.

Once you visit, I think everyone holds a special place in their heart for the beautiful Derbyshire Estate that is Chatsworth. I have such fond memories of chickens running in the car park. I imagine they provided great manure! The house is of course iconic but the gardens, oh the gardens! They are just the most magical and joyful sanctuary a world away from the 21st century.

If you can drag yourselves inside for a few moments at 11am, I’ll be so pleased to say hello. In my Chatsworth talk, as well as chatting about the sustainable planting practices that we’ve adopted over the years on our solid clay soil, I’ll share the sustainable way I create everlasting flowers, and our favourite flowers we grow for drying. The focus is on both the practical and achievable ways that each one of us can adopt, simple sustainable steps to help the environment, as well as some inspiration to start your very own sustainable cutting garden.

In our marquee, come and see the Fierceblooms Floral Compass. Exhibited at Chelsea Flower Show 2023, each of the twelve symbols on the compass shows twelve ways in which we can be more sustainable.

Examples of our Wild Garden Style floral designs, including wreaths and garlands, will decorate our marquee. We’ll also have a new herbal Tussie Mussies, dried and fragrant nose gays that would have been carried around Chatsworth back in the day I am sure.

Fierceblooms is a small sustainable floral business. We  grow scented seasonal flowers in our Cheshire canalside cutting garden for the wildlife, for life’s floral events, and quite honestly for our own sanity.

Each and every flower we create with for our fierce floral business is British grown. No flower we use is ever flown.
