Our Mission
We want to demonstrate a more responsible way of sourcing and distributing flowers. It’s no secret that the cut flower industry isn’t too kind on the environment, with flowers often travelling miles from places like Holland, to Israel to Kenya. By using British flowers grown on our regenerative farm whenever...

British Flowers
We make no secret of the fact that it’s not possible to offer British flowers all year round because of the climate we live in – if we could, we absolutely would. As soon as our season allows, we use British flowers from our farm. We think of our homegrown...

Balancing The Scales
At the time of writing, we’re yet to officially sound the gong on the end of our 2024 season, but just like summer transitioning in to autumn, all the signs are there. We still have plenty of flowers to offer beautiful late summer stems such as dahlias and sunflowers, but...

Farm Update: May 2024
We’ve said goodbye to the tulips for another year and as always, they did not disappoint. The beds for these are already cleared so we won’t be seeing these beauties again now until next spring. Our poppies are somewhat more of an emotional rollercoaster. We had a bumper crop last...

Rain Makes The Flowers Grow
You need rain to make the flowers grow, so the saying goes. Which is true, but before those flowers are even flowers, you also need it to stop flipping raining so you can plant the seedlings. What a soggy winter it’s been. When we’re not in season and harvesting flowers,...

A Chrysanthemum Conundrum
By this time in the season, we’d normally expect to have a few more chrysanthemums than we do right now. We’ve gone from having five beds of them to two. Earlier in the year we found out the nursery where we get our chysanthemum plugs from had suffered a huge...

Here Come The Dahlias
Our dahlias are just starting to ramp up which compared to last year, when they were in full swing by now, is a pretty late start to the season. Such is British weather – no year is quite the same. Growing dahlias is an interesting endeavour, especially when it comes...

Our first ever homegrown signature bouquet
When Petalon first started, we knew we were heading in to an industry that was typically unkind on the environment. While in our early days of being a one-woman show based in East London, there wasn’t too much we could do to tackle the way the billion-dollar cut flower industry...

Farm Update: May 2023
So far this year, we’ve sold every single stem we’ve grown on the farm, which is an absolute dream come true. March and April were a whirlwind of tulips, poppies, ranunculus and our fancy daffs (those white ones, oof). We’ve also seen some absolutely incredible customer photos of our flowers...
