Our flower scheme is fully subscribed for 2025! Come back early next spring to sign up for the season.
Do you want to enjoy beautiful fresh cut flowers and be part of supporting wild pollinators too? Join our flower scheme to receive a fortnightly bunch of flowers delivered to your local pickup point between end of May and October.
Conventional cut flowers greet us in every supermarket, but over 85% are imported, mostly air-freighted, and grown using copious amounts of chemical fertilisers and pesticides (including the highly toxic DDT) – meaning that even the smallest bunch comes with a huge environmental and carbon cost.
We’re growing a range of beautiful cut flowers that are truly sustainable, organic and ethically grown, and as (or even more) attractive to the wild bees as they are on your kitchen table. Joining the flower scheme supports us to continue growing these flowers that provide a vital food source for pollinator insects.
Note from our flower grower: “Last year we grew a mix of native and naturalised wild flowers to support a diversity of pollinating insects from hoverflies to mining bees. Flowers were chosen to provide both habitat, in the form of landing pads and sunning spots, and a diversity of shape and sizes to match the diversity of tongue lengths of our 270+ native bees. Native wild flowers such as yarrow, knapweed, viper’s bugloss, wild carrot and ox-eye daisies all proved long lasting as cut flowers and we had some lovely reviews from our supporters.”
Details:
Your flowers will be delivered to your selected pick-up point in Waltham Forest on a Wednesday or Thursday, once a fortnight, between the end of May and the beginning of October. You will receive 10 bunches in total.
To join the flower scheme costs £180, and you can pay with a one-off payment or a subscription of 5 monthly payments of £36.
One-off bunches are also available to order from £20.
For both flower scheme members and occasional customers, a local home delivery can be arranged for an additional £5 per delivery – email flowers@organiclea.org.uk to make arrangements.
We also can provide larger quantities of flowers, as well as bouquets and buttonholes, for special events such as parties or weddings. Enquire at flowers@organiclea.org.uk.
