British spring blooms for your handblown vase

Spring time in England is a magical time of year when the world awakens from its slumber and bursts into life with an explosion of colour and fragrance. It’s the perfect time to bring fresh new life into the home, filling it with the joys of spring.

Flowers grown in their natural environments without artificial heat or light tend to be better quality, so select your spring blooms based on what grows naturally Britain. Choosing sustainable flowers that are in season and locally sourced is always the environmentally responsible choice.

Flowers grown out of season often require artificial resources like energy and water to create the ideal growing conditions, which inevitably brings with it negative environmental consequences. In contrast, using seasonal flowers means they you are supporting local growers and reducing the carbon footprint associated with importing flowers from overseas. Think about your vessel too. A handblown glass vase or smaller bud vase is perfect, but it is important to know where it came from and how it was made. Glassblowing uses energy so choose a vase that is unique and built to last a lifetime.
