We are the Foxlight family
And we want to share the experience of farming truly seasonal, wildly beautiful blooms with everyone
Foxlight Flower Farm started as a seed of an idea in October 2021.
Inspired by Grandad Hat’s dinner plate dahlias grown on his Ninfield allotment, the cut flowers we grew in our own back garden during lockdown and the wildflowers we sowed for the bees on our land – we wanted to share the experience of enjoying truly seasonal, wildly beautiful, scented blooms that you can’t buy in the supermarket or high street florist with everyone.
We spent winter 2020 engrossed in horticultural books, studying Instagram accounts of other flower farmers, drawing up bed plans, researching flower varieties that would bloom in our first Summer and finding mentors within the flower farming community with whom we swapped labour for wisdom.
We started our flowering journey as a purely P-Y-O experience, but over the years, as our experience and expertise grew, we started supplying local businesses, florists and floral designers, as well as designing and creating floral installations for local businesses. We now lead a Collective of local flower growers supplying florists from East Sussex, Kent and London, with sustainable and seasonal blooms of exceptional quality as a part of our East Sussex Flower Grower Collective
This is our labour of love and everything on the farm we have built and made ourselves; from hornbeam fenceposts cut from our little patch of woodland, to the watering system fed by our freshwater stream to the 30+ varieties of flower we have grown from seed.
We can’t wait to share what we’ve built with you
