This channel provides an insight into the month by month activities at my artisan cut flower garden located on the edge of the Cotswolds near Stroud in Gloucestershire. Cotswold Country Flowers grows blooms and creates floral arrangements for all occasions including weddings and funerals, bouquets and monthly flower subscriptions. I also host floristry and gardening workshops for beginners, open gardens and pick your own flowers events. All experiences are bookable via cotswold-country-flowers.co.uk
15th July 2024 Tour of my cutting garden on the Cotswold Edge, Gloucestershire UK
It's been a busy couple of months and I've cut thousands of stems already for weddings and events. Take a look to see how the second succession of annuals are progressing, how the sweet peas have grown, the perrenials are getting into their stride and see how the dahlias have fared with sluggageddon!
Biennials sown last month have been transplanted and growing on into bigger pots. The weather has been very up and down this season so far with just the odd warm day rather than a stretch of settled weather. Sit back and enjoy a little tour of the garden in mid July 2024.

11th June 2024 Tour of my cutting garden on the edge of the Cotswolds UK

May and June have been exceptionally busy not just with gardening but with floristry and lots of weddings. Despite filming this in June it's taken a few weeks to edit and publish. In this video, the biennials are starting to get removed and replaced with spring sown annuals which are still quite small. There are hundreds more plants waiting in the wings and the last succession of annuals have b...

Has summer finally arrived? Let's hope so. Most of the autumn sown annuals are about to pop and hundreds of spring sown ones which are waiting in the wings are potted on in this video. Some of the biennials are in full bloom. They and are so worth sowing in June to get that early flush of colour and scent the following year. The hazel and willow arch is finally finished and sweet peas have been...

Wowzer! What a month March was! So mild that some flowers are 3-4 weeks ahead of schedule, and soooo wet. Gloucestershire experienced double the normal (whatever that is) rainfall expected in March. Anyways, do take a look and see how the garden has changed and coped. The greenhouse is filling up with seedlings rapidly and dahlias have been pre-sprouted for cuttings. Don't forget to hit subscri...

Wet, wet ,wet pretty much sums up last month. That being said it hasn’t stopped me getting underway with seed sowing hardy annuals. Tune in to see colour starting to appear with some beautiful narcissi, primroses and muscari. Seed sowing is underway and autumn sown hardy annuals are hardening off ready for planting out soon. Listen to the birds singing in the background and see how I give them ...
Harvesting and Saving Flower Seeds on a small scale for fun
มุมมอง 935 หลายเดือนก่อน
Seed saving is something I have pooh poohed in the past. However, the hot summer of 2022 encouraged everything to flower and set seed in record time and the conditions were perfect for harvesting the crisp flower heads and means it's possible to save hundreds if not thousands of seeds. In 2023 the saved seed I sowed yielded pretty good germination and growing results and encouraged me to save m...

It's the calm before the storm - the day after filming there was another 24 hours of pouring rain and high winds. There have been a few casualties in the garden (to be expected) but fingers crossed there are plenty of hardy annuals waiting in the wings to join what has already overwintered. The snow drops are at their peak and other spring bulbs are starting to show some colour. Seed sowing has...
January 12th 2024 - First garden tour of the year
มุมมอง 2957 หลายเดือนก่อน
It's been a slow start to the year; I struggle with the dark mornings and evenings. Gradually I'm getting my mojo back. Unlike last year, I have lost very few plants for botrytis this year. Neglect seems to suit them well. Most autumn sown annuals have also survived the winter so far. Lots of potting on to do and I've even started a bit of seed sowing, mainly for the benefit of the Seed to Bloo...
Potting on Autumn Sown Antirrhinum (snapdragon)
มุมมอง 1027 หลายเดือนก่อน
As I gradually come out from hibernation 🦔, a bit of potting on is just the ticket to get me back into the swing of things. Like many people, I’m at my happiest, pootling in the potting shed 🏡 with the radio on or listening to a podcast and here I am doing just that. I sowed several small batches of antirrhinum (snapdragon) in mid September, transplanted them into 40 cell modules and left them ...
Wedding floristry : behind the scenes
มุมมอง 2307 หลายเดือนก่อน
I shot these videos before Lily and Ed’s late April wedding to demonstrate what goes on behind the scenes. A florist’s wedding prep’ can take hours over several days and the amount of practical work should not be underestimated (and as for the admin!!*). The actual floristry is one of the last things to be done but so much can be organised and prepared beforehand to help everything run smoothly...
Making a Dried Flower Bouquet

During the autumn and winter dried flowers are a lovely colourful , sustainable and ecofriendly alternative to imported fresh flowers. These were cut and air dried naturally ( in my kitchen) before storing in boxes in a dry room. A selection of dried flowers are available to purchase via my website www.cotswold-country-flowers.co.uk/dried-flowers Watch me make and package for posting a dried fl...

The 12th and final monthly video of 2023! A wet, wet few weeks and a couple of nights of frost at -4C means it really is a wrap for 2023. How have the hardy annuals fared? What state are the dahlias in? and what of the ranunculus? Grab a coffee and take a look and see. Did you know that the video has subtitles when viewed on a desktop. I hope it helps. See you in 2024!

Please watch on a pc or tablet to see subtitles: After a very wet couple of weeks, the garden is looking a bit soggy. Work with fresh flowers on any scale is not possible. I've started to clear the remaining annuals, and have made a start planting hardy annuals for an early start next year and there are plenty that are coming on nicely in the greenhouse. Ranunculus have been pre-sprouted and ar...

There's plenty to tell you about in this month's garden tour. Take a look to see how the garden coped with a heat wave in September followed by some high winds. Biennials are in the grounds and the greenhouse is filling with hardy annuals at all stages. The ranunculus have been placed in trays for pre sprouting. Although the twilight of the season in floristry terms, it's all kicking off again ...

The garden has loved the soggy August. Just as we thought autumn was setting in, we are poised for a heat wave. Some of the flowers were sown last autumn and are rewarding me with a second flush like the clary sage. The dahlias always have been my crowning glory but flowers such as the helichrysum are giving them a run for their money. Some of the biennials have now been planted and hardy annua...

Thank you for wonderful idea, I'm going to make my first dried flowers wreath like yours❤
Gorgeous garden!!! What amazes me is how you remember all the names 😄
Stunning flowers
❤ wonderful
Beautiful garden thank you for sharing
I always look forward to your tours, thank you.
Would you be able to do more current videos like this? id love to follow along and grow along, thank you appreciate you!
I absolutely love your videos. Im going to grow some of the flowers you mention for drying too. Loove love love your work very unique in videos on youotube, thank you!!
thank you so much, what a wonderful overview!
Inspirational . Thank you so mich
florism in nederland is the industry,and in england is the art.
Thanks for video, and I’ve been wondering if I could pinch out honesty, so super pleased I watched 😊
It's lovely to see how your garden is blooming. Spring has definitely sprung, in spite of all the rain. I look forward to your videos but not the accompanying music! It's so unnecessary. I had to turn off your commentary and read the subtitles. Just you, telling us about your garden is perfect.
Привет из России! Класс!!!👍
We have snow and -20 degrees here in Finland… But I’m sowing the first seeds this weekend. I’ll try lots of cutting flowers inspired by you 😊
Lovely
I'm watching these videos religiously here in Finland, in minus 20 degrees Celsius. I'm not likely to plant many annuals, during our short summer they're often a lot of work for a very low yield, but I can live trough your videos!
beautiful flowers great job
Thank you so much 🙂 I hope it highlights how much work goes on to preparing for a wedding.
Couldnt hear. Just me??
It all sounds fine at my end. If necessary click the CC at the bottom right of the video for subtitles which might help.
Absolutely amazing garden! Subscribed!
Lovely garden!
Thank you for this series of videos. Just have to add that I love your idea of the plastic containers with lids to keep the moisture in. It would also keep fungus gnats out. The plastic bags are a good idea too! 🌱🌸
You are so welcome! It is just a question of trying different things and re-using /recycling as much as possible.
I have only just discovered your wonderful channel. It is so informative,. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Your flowers and garden are so very beautiful.
My Allium are up already too. Hope they survive.
Love your tunnels, how have you fixed the enviromesh? I have use cable ties but looking for a better way.
These are all from Gardening Naturally in the UK. I buy clips that fix the enviromesh onto the supports. They sometimes pop off but on the whole they do a great job.
Just delightful. Thank you for that demonstration.
gorgeous 😍
That is really beautiful. I'm sure if I had ago it would just look like flowers stuck out of hay! I am not remotely artistic but I really love to see people producing these works of art. Thank you so much for your lovely tutorial.
You're very welcome Linda. It's worth just having a go. There is another tutorial which doesn't involve hay :) on my youtube channel. I ran a workshop in house recently and all were beginners. Their finished dried flower wreaths were stunning.
I've just come across your channel, really lovely. Thankyou. 👍
Thank you for free tuition - very much appreciated
You're welcome. I wish I had time to do more.
Hi I am from Gloucester I love watch your garden tour very beautiful and huge garden. 😍
You must visit in the summer as you are not far away. Have you been before?
Just beautiful 😊
Thank you so much.
Beautiful ❤
List the name of the flowers you used, please. Beautiful
love flowers love life👍👍👍🏵🏵🏵
Absolutely!
Lovely!
It's beautiful, I've just ordered a kit from your website 👍
I hope you got on OK with the kit Karen. ?
Until you got to clips I could barely hear you on full volume. Perhaps wear a mike next video. Thank you for the video I learned a lot.
Apologies, you're right. In the future, it might help to select CC on the bottom right of the video for subtitles if the volume isn't good.
i have planted sweeet peas for the 1st time this year. im so excited to grow them this year! i was so worried about growing them with a young child as she will walk throiught the allotment/garden and eat freely. now she is older and we have a flower garden ill pop them in there and im much less worried about growing them.
Good tour! Spring is clearly starting there. I want to grow some hellebores, too. Do you use them for cut flowers? I worked as a florist for decades but I don’t remember seeing them used. That’s how I start seeds, too: many seeds in a small pot but then I really, really enjoy pricking out. Looking forward to following your garden this year!
Yes, Pam, Hellebores can be used in floristry but best to wait until they are mature with an obvious seed pod in the middle, they will condition much better then. Sometimes they also need searing.
Wow can’t believed you managed to film the long tail tit! Thanks for videos v enjoyable
Aren't they gorgeous birds. They are back again and absolutely love the fat balls. I hope they nest close to the house again.
Your sweet peas looks giants :) !! Is this some special variety? Thanks
They are a spencer variety, the plants are in a trench of well rotted manure and also is one of the few areas in the garden with drip irrigation. They need plenty of water.
Hi, really enjoyed watching your demonstration 🥰 and the wreath is gorgeous!
Hi Irene, thanks so much. I do hope you are well and safe. Think about you often at the moment.
@@CotswoldCountryFlowers Dear Fiona It was really heart warming to hear from you. We're going through a very tough time. My son was drafted and in the army for 2 months but has since been released. We're dealing with a ruthless terrorist organisation who exploits its own people as shields. But we have to be optimistic, we have no other choice. Nature and flowers are great therapy and I've also been thinking about you 💝
Lovely, Merry Christmas
my secret weapon for sweet peas is ... I save all the bread ties. lol. But it works for me. I grow them in April and they grow up the side of my house and bloom June through the first snow in North Dakota. It is weird that people do not sell them in the green houses here, because they do amazing!
Thank you. Lovely tour x
The dahlias are amazing.
Thank you Pam. They finally came good but we have had a lot of wind and rain since the video (still no frost though). They are starting to give up now.
You have a beautiful garden 😍! I'm a new flower farmer and I'm learning so much from you and another British farmer, fierce blooms. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I'm especially excited to learn about dried flowers because that extends the season 🙌
That is so beautiful 😍! Great tips!
