Where flowers bloom and hearts rejoice
Indulge in the beauty of seasonal blooms
Claire Gillespie
Many of our clients wonder what sets my business apart from other florists. Unlike those who rely on imported flowers, I grow and handpick all of my blooms right here in County Antrim. From seed to bouquet, I nurture each flower in our fields and polytunnels, ensuring they’re fresh and vibrant for your special occasions.
​
Whether you need flowers for weddings, corporate events, gifts, or home décor, I’m here to create stunning, sustainable floral displays. I’m passionate about eco-friendly practices, and I make it a priority to grow flowers in the most environmentally responsible way possible. Recycling and sustainability are key parts of my business, both at home and at the events I attend.
​
Our fresh flowers are available from April to October, with dried flowers offered year-round. You can also find me at artisan markets and events throughout the year.
