We grow our own seasonal, organic flowers at Bellahouston on a disused council nursery site. The flower team are Kim and Meg, who are both experienced growers and florists, running all aspects from the planning to the growing and the flower arranging together, along with a small team of dedicated volunteers.

How can you buy our flowers?
Bunches of flowers can be bought weekly in all our shops and with the veg boxes. We stock most shops on a Friday ready for the weekend. We have three options; simple bunch of a few seasonal varieties is £9, mixed bouquet of what is blooming for £18 and a large gift bouquet of our best blooms for £40 (pre-order only).
Buckets of freshly harvested flower stems can be bought for florists or for DIY weddings/events. These are £55 (inc. VAT) for 60-80 stems depending on what is in season. You can request a colour palette for us to work with as we can pick a selection of our seasonal blooms and foliage within this. We send weekly availability emails out, please contact us if you would like to join our mailing list.
Wedding flowers can be ordered with us. Our wedding season runs from June to October each year. We currently offer just small weddings; bridal bouquets, bridesmaid bouquets, buttonholes, corsages, and thank you bouquets for collection from our site in Bellahouston Park. Get in touch with your ideas.
Wreaths are available throughout autumn and winter using our own grown willow and flowers that we dry throughout the year.
We also sell gift vouchers in all of our shops and via the veg box website that can be redeemed for bouquets when they are in season.
Workshops
We are offering a series of workshops this year to share the joy of growing, picking and arranging seasonal flowers at our growing site in Bellahouston Park.
Pick Your Own Workshops
These run on the first Friday of every month from July to October; 7th July, 4th August, 1st September, 6th October. Come and join us on our growing site for a tour, bring some snips to harvest some seasonal stems, then learn how to arrange them to best display their natural beauty.
