BLOOMING GREEN
Blooming Green was founded in 2007 by cousins Bek and Jen, and has since grown into a happy team of staff and volunteers who together form the unique business that exists today. Established in Linton, near Maidstone, on an acre of ground that was once a Bramley apple orchard, they grow flowers on various sites— though the flower plot at Loddington Farm is still at the heart of the business.
Blooming Green grows and sells British seasonal flowers with a feel-good factor that comes from doing something positive- for yourself, for others and for the planet. Their loyal and happy customers can’ t be wrong; they go to Blooming Green for the most important occasions and simply to make their everyday lives more special.
At their flower plot at Loddington Farm, Blooming Green offer pick-your-own flowers during the summer and are open on Thursday evenings for‘ pizza & PYO’ and on Saturdays for flower-picking along with cake and locally ground coffee. Visitors have described the flower plot as their‘ happy place’ and a‘ little slice of heaven’. Where else can you wander amongst an acre of flowers, picking to your heart’ s content?
During the week, DIY brides and florists can pick pre-ordered buckets of flowers, or Blooming Green offers a full bespoke wedding flowers service. They also offer a full array of floristry services, from event flowers, gift bouquets and sympathy flowers.
The ethos at Blooming Green is to provide flowers to people in as eco-conscious a way as possible, but without being preachy or gloomy. Their bouquets educate in a light-touch and inspiring way- simply saying it with flowers- and they are proud to be foam, moss and plastic-free.
Blooming Green also runs an array of workshops and courses, focusing on teaching both eco-friendly floristry skills and chemicalfree flower growing.
