Somehow, we’ve managed to keep most of our flowers alive through the first month of having a baby 😅 (a month already!! 😭😭). We’ve brought Baby down the hill to the field a few times now…the first time he was a sleepy angel, the second and third times one of us had to be holding him the entire time.



A well-deserved, sleep-deprived family outing to FARA for a coffee ✨ We have dried flower bouquets for sale at FARA by the way!

Late summer is here. Our newborn is teaching us all manner of lessons and our lives are completely transformed by parenthood. Yet the flowers keep blooming and the bees and moths and butterflies have continued their daily toil through our absence. Our snips and secateurs have stayed sharp and seem readier than ever to cleanly cut juicy stems. Although we now orbit a little milk monster like helicopter moons, and we’re eternally sleep-deprived, and our postnatal brains are 1% smaller (look it up; it’s true), it seems we still are the farmer-florists we were before - eyes open, dirty-nailed, ready to oooo and ahhh over the endless novelty of fresh life.

These lovely blooms are headed to refill FARA - apparently everyone is in the mood for dahlias!



We’ve begun collecting seed and will be selling packets at market soon for anyone keen on autumn sowing.

Our autumn-sown hardy annual flowers from this year were some of our absolute best (great yield, long stems). They included feverfew, yarrow, campanula, strawflower, and statice. Our sweet peas were winter-sown under cover. Hardy plants are adapted to thrive because of (not in spite of) cold winters. Sowing in autumn is a complete game changer and something our farming ancestors would’ve been well-acquainted with.

Surely the Hawthorne berries weren’t here so early last year?

The blackberries are shriveled and seedy, but they do taste quite nice.

Who says you can’t grow hot chiles outside in the England? These are some very hot padrón chiles that we should’ve picked green!

And our outdoor (in partial shade and quite neglected no less!) tomato crop has been absolutely bonkers this summer.

Tor View Flowers started with a wedding - our own! Today is our one-year anniversary. We’re feeling incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to not only grow our own wedding flowers, but to start a business and share flowers with our community 💚

Sarita arranged her own bridal bouquet (and it matched her floral gown incredibly well!).

We enjoyed the whole process of sowing, growing, picking, and arranging so much…that we decided we had to go all in and try to make this into our livelihood.

We built these terraces ourselves during the winter. They provided just about enough growing space for our wedding flowers.

This year, we knew we wanted to massively increase the quantity of flowers we grow. So, we moved our growing to a much more spacious community garden within walking distance of our home. It’s been an incredible amount of work clearing and setting up our current flower beds over the past year, but absolutely worth it.

It’s been an absolute pleasure selling at market this spring and summer. Thank you so SO much to everyone (especially our regulars! 💖) who has supported us over the past year in Glastonbury, Shepton Mallet, and Sherborne. Small-scale agriculture depends 100% on community support to thrive. You guys are the best.

Oh, and we might as well sneak in a little announcement 🤭 Tor View Flowers will be bringing on a new member very soon! The person in question won’t be able to help with farm work for at least five or six years…but we’re sure they’ll provide us and our customers with loads of moral support and cuteness 💖💖

We were recently honoured to be asked to create a funeral sheaf. We used 100% homegrown flowers and foliage to create this purple-and-yellow arrangement. It included many different elements, including hazel, beech, dock and chard, poppy pods, an apple branch, motherwort, grasses, nigella pods, rosemary…along with the flowers: sunflower ‘White Lite’ and ‘Desert Sun’, scabious ‘Black Knight’, white scabious, feverfew ‘tetra white’, double campanula, statice, our friend’s lovely hydrangeas and lavender, and Achillea ‘Colorado’. It consisted of three bouquets atop a foliage base, all tied together with raffia to create a cohesive arrangement that could be divided and shared post-service.



In progress…

The finished sheaf.

Ready for pickup (just as that wild thunderstorm was rolling in!)

🌻A good portion of our White Lite sunflowers got blown over in Monday’s thunderstorm, but they were thankfully still looking lovely in the morning, albeit in a horizontal position. ‘Paint us like one of your Dutch girls,” they seemed to be saying (Van Gogh certainly would have). So, we cut them, put them in lots of cold water, and brought them home to arrange. And now we have sunshine both outdoors (where it’s much too hot) and indoors (where it’s practically tolerable).

🌻This heatwave is really accelerating everything in the field. All the flowers seem in a manic rush to bloom - after a long wet winter and cold/hot spring of coaxing our seedlings to survive and grow ever so slowly, this feels like a rocket launch of botanical yeehaw! We’re trying to ride the wave rather than be overwhelmed and it’s mostly working.
