About Us.

My name is Debbie and I grow fresh seasonal flowers and foliage from April to October in my garden in North West Devon between the villages of Shebbear and Sheepwash. I also have dried flowers throughout the year.
I grow everything from seed, bulb or propagation, without the use of pesticides. Due to the natural way of gardening the garden is full of bees, butterflies, birds and insects.
 I began my flower journey when my eldest daughter was getting married and asked me to grow the flowers for her wedding. After the wedding, the venue where she held her wedding, approached me and asked me to supply flowers for their change over days and that is where Hembury Cottage Flowers began.
I now sell wholesale to local florists where they can buy seasonal flowers for their bouquets and events. I also sell to customers and can provide gift bouquets, bunches of flowers and flowers for weddings and events. Flowers need to be ordered with 48 hours notice to ensure the flowers are conditioned properly allowing the longest vase life possible. Local delivery is possible or collection from my home.
I am part of the Flowers From the Farm organisation that promotes all things British grown flowers.  

The Flower Patch
I grow all my flowers either in my cutting patch or in my back garden. Everything is grown here in my garden. I have a large greenhouse where I grow everything from seed or propagation, from the greenhouse the seedlings are moved to the polytunnel or cold frame and eventually to their final growing space, either in the garden or the polytunnel. The polytunnel is where I plant flowers to help extend the flower season and also grow some flowers that prefer the warmth and protection from the Devon elements. We also have woodland which enables me to forage for foliage. My back garden is where I can cut from shrubs and perennials that are established in the garden. I grow a wide range of shrubs, perennials, hardy and half hardy annuals in an array of colours.
