One of our core beliefs at The Dahlia Wood is that beautiful flowers can be grown in harmony with our natural environment. We use sustainable growing practices which really means that we don’t use chemical fertilisers, pesticides or anything that is understood to be harmful to our environment. We use only homemade or peat free compost to feed our soil. We minimise single use plastic as much as we can, with our aim to eliminate it completely. We reuse whatever we can.

Flowers are seasonal and our core season is between April & October. Our climate can be extremely wet and that means that some plants just won’t thrive. We try to work with our conditions, not against them which means we are trialing and selecting the best plants to grow here to cut for flowers and deliver to our customers.

We run our own compost heaps to make mulch to feed the soil, turning waste fruit, vegetables, coffee grounds, cut grass and flower deadheads into something useful again. We only send our flowers in home compostable packaging. We want our flowers to reach their destination looking wonderful but we also try to reduce the waste too.
