British Grown Cut Flowers
Chiltern Sky Flowers is an artisan flower farm, six hundred feet up in the beautiful Chiltern Hills, surrounded by beautiful chalk downland. Inspired by Flowers From The Farm, we are proud to have joined a great network of flower farmers up and down the country celebrating the natural beauty and simplicity of British grown cut flowers.
We grow and sell a wonderful mix of flowers and foliage from mid April to October. Sustainable, seasonal and scented are the three key choices when it comes to which flowers we decide to grow each year. All inspired by an informal, garden-gathered style of floristry. Working with the seasons and growing strong, healthy, high quality blooms, no matter what the infamous British weather can throw at us!

Seasonality
Seasonally grown flowers, grown from seed, inspired by the simplicity and beauty of Nature.
Our variety of flowers is different every year, but some of our favourites are listed below:
Spring: Our season opens in April with our range of colourful and scented Narcissi and Tulips, followed by Alliums, Camassias, Geums, Nepeta, Sweet Williams and much more.
Summer: We have an abundance of flowers from May to August, including: Achillea, Ammi, Cornflowers, Comos, Dahlias, Daucus, Grasses, Herbs, Nicotiana, Nigella, Phlox, Snapdragons, Scabious, Strawflowers and not forgetting fragrant Sweet peas.
Autumn: As the days turn shorter and cooler, our Dahlias take centre stage, combining well with Ammi, Amaranthus, Anemones, Asters, Atriplex, Chrysanthemums, Cosmos, Grasses, Helianthus, Rudbeckias, Seed pods, Strawflowers, Verbena and Zinnias.
Winter: At the other end of nature’s calendar, our flower farm starts to slow down with the first frosts. Ornamental grasses, berries and rose hips become available along with the flowers and seed pods we harvest for drying throughout the Summer - beautiful additions to Christmas wreaths and dried floral arrangements.
Sustainability
We are passionate about conserving our ecological environment here in The Chiltern Hills. Our chalk grassland and meadows are rich habitats for wildflowers and wildlife. Owls, Bats, Red Kites, Grass Snakes, Bees, Moths and Butterflies are some of our flower farming companions.
Our flowers are grown with the seasons, working with Mother Nature, rather than against her.
Our flower beds are constructed using the ‘No dig’ method, preserving soil health and soil conservation.
We have switched over to using peat free compost.
We are committed to reducing our single use plastic. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
We are harvesting rainwater from our cottage roof, storing it in deep, brick built Victorian wells. We harvest rainwater from as many sources as we can.
We are keen to use resources from our local community as often as we can, whether it’s the delicious cake from our local cafe for Workshops, our local compost company, or our local landscapers. We regularly host visits from our village primary school, Year 2s and Year 3s and are hugely impressed with the younger generation’s knowledge of climate change and our collective responsibility to our planet.
