We dry as many flower varieties from our range as possible

We love having the opportunity to experiment with different flower varieties and seeing what dries particularly well. Now, with five years' experience growing so many different annual and perennial flowers, we have been able to carefully select our favourites for drying. Each year we can't resist trying out another variety or two, so we are constantly expanding our repertoire and updating the 'look' of our dried bouquets. 

The drying process is very simple, but the results are astonishingly beautiful. We harvest the flowers in full bloom and, after conditioning and bunching them, they are hung upside down to air dry in our barn - away from bright sunlight so their colour doesn't bleach out. At the height of summer our barn is a feast for the eyes!

When the flowers have finished drying we untie them and store them safely in a dark, dry place until we begin working with them in the winter.
