    Beautifully done. This reminds me of my childhood job picking dahlias and pinks at my uncle Clive’s flower farm. It was a dreamy job for a daydreamer like me and a source of summer pocket money for years. He transitioned into the newly fashionable conifers and heathers, inspired by his friend at Bressingham. I must admit that potting on heather cuttings in a greenhouse never held the same appeal.

    Beautiful Georgie and top work Natalie getting such an efficient and colourful flower farm exclusively of dahlias ❤ I really struggle with mine as I'm on heavy clay but I still try. If you're ever further up the country Gilberts Dahlias in Hampshire is worth a visit. They're a nursery rather than flower farm but inspirational and they've been going yonks ! Certainly inspired me to have another go 😁

    I know you are a modest person Georgie, but I hope it really "sinks in" at how many people you have inspired in a good way. If Dahlia's were poetry, it would be the flower farm you visited. So neat, it almost doesn't seem real!....STUNNING.
