This week, from June 16 to 22, is British Flowers Week. It is an annual event managed by Flowers From the Farm which puts British grown cut flowers and foliage firmly in the spotlight. Originally founded by New Covent Garden Market.
Since its launch in 2013, British Flowers Week has championed the UK's cut flower industry, celebrating growers, wholesalers, and florists who work with British-grown flowers. Now, after a decade of success under New Covent Garden Flower Market, the time has come for a new chapter.
Flowers from the Farm, the pioneering organisation that has transformed the landscape for small-scale British flower growers, now leads British Flowers Week. Founded by Gill Hodgson with a vision to revive and promote UK-grown flowers, Flowers from the Farm has grown into a thriving network of independent flower businesses, supplying retail customers, florists, and event professionals across the nation. Its extraordinary impact on the industry was recently recognised when Gill was recently awarded an MBE.
As we step into this new era, Flowers from the Farm is evolving into a forward-thinking trade association, committed to strengthening the presence of British-grown flowers in the marketplace. British Flowers Week 2025, running from 16th – 22nd June, will embrace this momentum under the theme "Flowers For The Future." They invite growers, wholesalers, and retailers to join them in celebrating with vibrant events—flower flashes, pop-ups, window displays, farm tours, collaborations, sustainable floristry workshops, and more.
