It’s a bright spring day today but falls after a long, cold, wet spell. It would be easy to feel that spring is taking its time this year as it’s been too soggy underfoot to do much in the garden and notice all the buds but today after conditioning today’s  flowers I took the camera […]

Christmas greetings to all our friends, Brides, customers and suppliers. Wishing everyone a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year! Jane & David – Long Barn Flowers

Well, we are very late with this blog, things have been steadily busy over the summer and all the other things that life can throw happened too.  Some challenges with our home, a water leak through a ceiling and rising damp in the oldest part of the house. Joy unconfined and dust everywhere. We are […]

Image: A multi coloured wedding with some beautiful personal touches, some of  the links to the movie ‘Up’ were secrets until the day  and the bouquet had a hidden link to the Brides Gran and streamer ribbons…. It’s bright and blustery, a glorious day, with blossom petals blowing like confetti across the garden as I […]

Brrrrrrrr….it’s chilly and we have a flurry of snow falling, let’s see if it settles.

Christmas greetings to all of our friends, customers and suppliers. Wishing you all health, happiness and success in 2017.

Reds, russets and golds in the garden and the last red apples on our trees all add to the rich colours, just before the winds blow the leaves away completely! During the summer we were packing […]

Rain, and more rain, the early summer was great for the garden, horrid for Brides and tricky for Bees. But since then we’ve had some glorious sunny and even hot days with acres of blue cloudless sky, just perfect. Long summer days mean balmy evenings for outdoor dancing, which Hannah and Leigh enjoyed after their […]

Sunshine and showers have made the garden grow and we have enjoyed preparing for some glorious sunny weddings this spring. Colours have ranged from crisp elegant monotone whites and grey/greens through to mixed pinks and corals with a wonderful mix of spring flowers from bulb flowers to Paeonies and now our own home grown  Lily […]
