In recent years many consumers have become aware of the environmental and social impact of the decisions they make when buying food, especially in relation to air miles for imported foods. In most cases, the best solution is to buy foods that are in season locally which will change throughout the year.

We were delighted to be the first business in Biggleswade to become a Plastic Free Business Champion through the Surfers Against Sewage/Plastic Free Communities network in January 2022 but remain committed to reducing our use of all plastic throughout the business.

Flowers are such a beautiful way to let someone know you are thinking of them. The fleeting beauty of a bouquet of flowers, to be admired and enjoyed while they last, cannot be underestimated. They bring a little slice of colour and nature into our homes and their scent will pervade a room.

Dried flowers have been appearing in upmarket magazines and on social media posts recently. But forget about those dusty old arrangements you may have seen….

We hope you enjoy your freshly cut flowers - here is how to make them last as long as possible.

The growing season traditionally runs from April to October which makes it a very intense but glorious burst of flowery joy.
