Surrounded by the beautiful coast and countryside of Suffolk, I work from my home-based flower studio in Walton, Felixstowe.

I established Wild & Unruly with a vision to provide eco-friendly floral arrangements inspired by the seasons using British-grown flowers wherever possible and a commitment to be part of a more sustainable floral industry. 

It’s hard to imagine that only 50 years ago, nearly 80% of the flowers we used to buy were produced here in the UK. Sadly, today it’s more like only 10%.

Over the last 10 years, we have seen a welcome rise in the number of British Flower Growers. Yorkshire farmer Gill Hodgson set up the not-for-profit group Flowers from the Farm in 2011 to encourage more growers to produce flowers for the home market to reduce the amount of imported flowers. With over 350 members, it’s the UK’s biggest network of cut flower growers on a mission to “get local blooms back into every vase”.
