Mendip Flower Co.
Welcome to Mendip Flower Company, a developing flower farm, close to Bath, Wells, Frome and Bristol.
We will be specialising in seasonal wholesale flowers and foliage, ideal for use in natural, relaxed and whimsical inspired artisan floristry.
Our farming practices aim to work with nature, not against it. Our seasonal flowers are cultivated sustainably with the lowest possible carbon footprint in order to significantly contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions in the flower industry. Read more about our sustainability promise and why buying locally grown flowers is so important here. We are proud members of Flowers from the Farm, a UK trade association promoting a financially and environmentally sustainable local cut flower industry.
From March 2026, we will be providing single stem bunches and mixed buckets to event florists and shops. We are also looking forward to welcoming you onto the farm for our exclusive PYO events and offering our DIY event buckets.

About
Maria ~ Founder & grower of all things lovely
A passion for horticulture and garden design, with a dream of being able to grow more and keep more animals than our ex-commercial hens, led our little family to buy our smallholding. The dream was quickly put on hold, as the farmhouse needed a lot of work, the outbuildings were falling down, the garden was full of neglected plants, swamped with nettles, bind weed and ground elder. The surrounding land was a tangle of brambles and buried rubbish. It was and still is a huge renovation project. Everyone told us to run from the money pit, but we had fallen in love and could see such potential. Slowly but surely, we have worked tirelessly, and the space is being transformed, many original features and beautiful plants are being revived.
Like many who get the flower bug, and despite all the work we've had to do, the cutting garden has grown every year. After having the privilege of being asked to do my sister's wedding flowers, I decided to try and learn more about professional floristry and went on to complete a course at my local college. I really enjoyed learning the mechanics of floristry but was disappointed at the use of floral foam, plastic packaging and imported flowers during the course. This set me off on a path to find out more about the cut flower industry, and I found the statistics shocking. Conscious of the environmental impacts typically associated with flower farming, and with the help of my ever patient husband and two sons, I decided to try growing sustainable cut flowers and foliage on a much larger scale, making sure to be chemical-free and operate only using regenerative techniques, from this, Mendip Flower Company was born.
