How it all started
Hello, I’m Gemma, and I started Little Wild Flower in the summer of 2020 after being furloughed from my floristry job. Like many people, I suddenly found myself with more time to spend outdoors, doing what I’ve always loved: growing flowers. For years, I had been cultivating flowers for myself, but the unexpected pause in my professional life gave me the perfect opportunity to turn a long-held dream into a reality. I wanted to share the beauty of flowers with others and create something that celebrated the joy and simplicity of nature. And so, Little Wild Flower was born.
By the end of 2020, we took on a small piece of land, and from there, it all just kept growing (pun intended!). What started as a humble garden quickly turned into something much bigger than I ever imagined. Our mission was simple: to grow flowers in a way that honors the environment, nurtures the soil, and celebrates the natural beauty of seasonal blooms.
By working in harmony with nature, we ensure that our flowers are as kind to the planet as they are beautiful.
What we do
At Little Wild Flower, we are passionate about seasonal flowers, there’s something magical about their quirky, wonky stems and their natural, imperfect beauty. Each flower begins as a tiny seed, nurtured with care, and flourishes into the vibrant blooms that fill our bouquets and buckets. That process, from seed to flower, is what I love most about being a flower farmer.
Everything we do is rooted in sustainability. We believe in working with nature, not against it. That means growing flowers without chemicals or pesticides, allowing beneficial insects to thrive, and using no-dig methods to protect and improve the soil. Our flowers are grown in a way that maintains the health of the land, helps sequester carbon, and creates a habitat for wildlife, all while ensuring our blooms are as natural as possible.
Sustainability​
Sustainability is the heart of Little Wild Flower. We are dedicated to protecting the environment with every step we take, from our growing practices to the way we package and deliver our flowers. By avoiding harmful chemicals, we allow nature to thrive alongside our blooms, creating a balanced ecosystem that benefits bees, butterflies, ladybirds, and all the other pollinators that make our gardens come alive.
We grow our flowers using organic, no-dig methods that preserve the delicate structure of the soil, promote biodiversity, and encourage healthy microorganisms. This approach not only nurtures the land but also helps fight climate change by locking in carbon. We also use peat-free compost and, whenever possible, homemade compost to further reduce our environmental impact. Our floral designs are created using foam-free techniques and we package everything using compostable or reusable materials. Even the jars we use for our jam jar flowers are always recycled.
At Little Wild Flower, each season brings something new and beautiful. Spring brings fresh beginnings, with buds emerging and the excitement of bulbs breaking through the soil. Summer is a symphony of fragrant roses in full bloom. Autumn welcomes the bold, rich hues of dahlias. And in winter, we celebrate the stunning scents of foliage and the beauty of dried flowers that have been carefully preserved through the warmer months.
We take pride in the biodiversity of our garden, and the sight of bees buzzing around, ladybirds feasting on aphids, and butterflies flitting from bloom to bloom is one of the greatest joys we experience. It’s a reminder that by working in harmony with nature, we can create something beautiful and lasting.
Each season brings something new and wonderful, fragrant sweet peas in spring, stunning dahlias in autumn, and winter’s incredible scented foliage. No two bouquets are ever the same, making every arrangement truly special.
Our Commitment​​
We’re committed to reducing our environmental footprint. Every step we take is a reflection of our deep belief in sustainability, from our organic growing methods to our eco-friendly packaging. Our flowers aren’t just kind to the planet; they’re a celebration of the planet.
By nurturing the land, supporting biodiversity, and growing flowers that thrive without harm, we are creating a space where nature and beauty can coexist. Each bloom, each seed, and each flower is a testament to the power of working with the rhythms of nature and growing in a way that respects and protects the earth.
Thank you for supporting Little Wild Flower—together, we’re making the world a little more beautiful and a lot more sustainable.
