Mothering Sunday

Mothering Sunday 26th March 2017


It's this Sunday guys and girls, ladies and gents - are you sorted with a gift?

We are still taking orders for local delivery, mainly later today (a few gaps) and on Sunday. Saturday is about full although you can probably still join in the fun at the workshop if you are quick. See here for details.

Deliveries are around Lincoln, Gainsborough, Scunthorpe, Brigg, and Newark area with villages.

We are busy making orders, sending out deliveries and getting organised for the workshop, so please bear with us as it's a super busy time.

Just remember - we are a small local business and as such - even when we are so busy - we still do a happy dance when you order. It means so much to us that we get to create a gorgeous display with our love for your mum - you don't get that with multi nationals!






A few of the designs we have created previously for orders.
Remember you can order direct with us by ringing 07748095431, email sandra@sandrasflowerstudio.co.uk or by our web store

Don't be in the doghouse this Mother's day
Have a fantastic weekend

Mother's Day Hand tie workshop


This morning I want to tell you about the workshop I have coming up;

Mother's day flowers

Saturday 25th March


Come along to learn the techniques of creating a hand tied bouquet. We will go through step by step of putting these designs together. You will then be able to use this method each time you buy flowers for the home - making it easier to display in a vase.
There will be a variety of seasonal flowers and foliage aswell as all other materials required included. 
This workshop is perfectly timed to give as a gift for Mothering Sunday. Come along and make your display to give to mum or bring her along and spend a couple of flowery hours together.

All materials included and refrehments will be on hand throughout.

£35 per person payment on booking.

These are a selection from last year's workshop.






The course is held at An Shen Acupuncture at 26 West Parade, Lincoln, LN1 1JT and runs 2-4pm.
Pre booking is essential, places limited

Please book by ringing 07748095431 or you can book and pay online here


Any questions about this workshop please get in touch before you book.

All flowers will be yours to take away afterwards.

Looking forward to seeing you

May Madness

It's been a mad month!  Early May is always a busy time on a flower farm - Mother's Day is one of the great flower-giving occasions of the year.  It happens in late autumn here in the southern hemisphere, just when proteas and leucadendrons are really blooming well.  This year I was organised - it was still busy, but things were under control!



There were lots of local orders this year and we had a ball putting everything together.  We did lots of seasonal bouquets of various sizes, and some boxed arrangements - something I'm just trying my hand at.  I've not had any florist training but what I lack in technique, I hope I make up for in enthusiasm for the flowers themselves.  




The Pink Ice Protea are really clear and lovely at this time of year.  They were the stars of the show, and set off really well with a variety of leucadendrons and foliage.  I've used some lovely grevillea foliage, some banksia, and some thryptomene which seems to be popping out early this year.  The white flowers are a lemon scented tea tree flower which are just gorgeous at the end of autumn.  And they smell good too!

The leucadendrons seem to be colouring up early this year.  Maui Sunset are lovely and pink, and the Inca Gold, whilst not at their stunning yellow best, are definitely looking golden, showing off their red tips.  It was great to have a variety to play with when putting it all together.  

The morning after mother's day we had a nasty surprise when we found our baby dangerously ill. She was rushed to hospital (an hour and a half by road ambulance).   She is ok now, but it was a shock and its taken us a while to recover from it all.  Combined with a deadline for an exhibition of linoprints that I've been working on and May was definitely what I'd call MAD!  

But what I love about growing flowers is the calming measured quality that they give to your life.  They keep growing and blooming, and the cycles keep ticking over.  When you plant something, it seems like it will take ages to give you any flowers, but life gets busy and time goes on, and before you know it those tiny plants are producing  flowers and needing a prune!  They add such beauty to life.  I think they give more than they take.  

And now, we're into winter.  We've got major infrastructure projects planned for around the farm over the next few months, including a new flower shed.  I'm looking forward to the winter season and all that it will bring!  



Mother's Day

Mother's Day is a great time for flowers.  Usually, we sell our flowers wholesale in large quantities, but being an artist, I love the creative challenge of making retail bunches.  I'm not trained in floristry so they are not technically well constructed, but I love combining colour and texture and making the flowers look their best.  My local General Store sells bunches for me, and I love the challenge of creating bunches that say "buy me" to shoppers.  This week, I made some Mother's Day bunches.  Here are a few snaps!



 From the field to the bucket, and from the bucket to the bunch!


 Happy Mother's Day
