Garden design, build & maintenance. Flowers, plants and inspirational things for your home and garden
Our blog
A trip was planned with great excitement. Shop shopping was our aim. We headed to Wales ...
And ... the very beautiful Devon
We have returned with our heads spinning with ideas, inspiration and excited at the many beautiful things which will be in our little shop and online soon.
We also bought the most beautiful old stand in which to display our flowers.
At The Potting Sheds shop we have been busying away making up posies and bunches of our disorganised flowers all ready for the weekend and Mother's Day.
In amongst all the snippings, paper and twine, we’ve found time to pull together some of our top tips to make sure you keep those spring blooms blooming…
Our Five Top Tips to Fresh Florals
1. Remove leaves which are submerged in water.
2. Change water often.
3. Trim stems regularly.
4. Use a flower preservative.
5. Keep away from sourcess of heat if possible.

Our shop at Cedar Farm is set in rural Lancashire, which is lovely, but tricky for those wanting to visit from further afield. As we couldn’t have anyone missing out, we’ve made a little virtual space of our very own so you can now shop our shelves online from the comfort of your very own home – no matter where in the country you are.
Although this will mean that you don’t get to see our faces in person, rest assured that it’s the same faces that will be packaging up your parcels and passing them on to our postman.
And we’re always on the end of a phone for a chatter if you like…
Happy shopping!

And the gentleman who suggested I may be thievin', popped back in to suggest that if I wore my apron whilst doing so it would look like i was meant to be there. Helpful.

A late summer wedding... roses, astranthia, jasmine, eucyluptus and chrysanthemum for the utterly gorgeous D and L.
Chrysanthemum can be controversial but we are on a mission to explore new things!!
The beautiful bride, being a very sensible girl, had cakes .... plural
Fresh flower cake toppers being far nicer than the sugar-y type we think.
Thank you so much Lucy
