​Dumfries & Galloway

Have you ever picked up a bouquet of flowers, held it close & taken a deep breath - anticipating the delicious perfume? And been disappointed to discover - well, there isn't a perfume! If so, you're not alone. So many of the flowers available today in the UK have been bred for other qualities - for extra long stems, new colour choices, or year round availability. Or perhaps so they'll withstand lengthy journeys from overseas - as nearly 90% of the £2 billion a year of cut flowers sold in the UK are supplied from overseas, many need to. But along the way, other qualities, such as exquisite natural fragrance & the variety of flowers available, are often lost. Well, at Galloway Flowers, we love flowers for their beauty, their textures and yes, their natural fragrance too. We believe all add to the sensory pleasure you should feel when you see, touch & of course sniff your flowers. And frankly, although pretty, we're rather bored of those samey flowers from the supermarket there all year round. There are so many more gorgeous blooms to choose from! Just as top Chefs have embraced the 'Field-to-Fork' concept, we believe it's time to embrace 'Field-to-Vase'. Our beautiful locally grown flowers are freshly cut to order, offer choice & varieties that change with the seasons & are grown without harsh chemicals. When you choose our flowers, you'll enhance your personal environment, support local wildlife & enjoy fresh, quality flowers. And of course, buying flowers & foliage when in season means you enjoy them at their best quality, best fragrance & best value.

I recently took very popular tours to South Africa, New Zealand, Burgundy, Bordeaux, Austria, Italy, Spain, Portugal, California & Oregon. Read my travel blog about the winemakers we met and wines we enjoyed. I will be planning future wine adventures - please see Upcoming Wine Tours. Our next tours will be to Jerez in Andalusia in Spain rescheduled from June 2020 to autumn 2022. The German tour rescheduled from Sept 2020 will take place in autumn 2022 - with further tours planned for Italy and South America in forthcoming years - please let us know if you are interested in my escorted wine tours.
