Spring has truly sprung, and in this Cut Flower Special of The Organic Gardening Podcast, Sarah Brown chats with Jo Wright of Flowers from the Farm and Debbie Scot, of Fyfe Flowers, as they share their experience of growing cut flowers organically, offering valuable insights into the benefits of supporting local flower growers.



“Growing organic flowers made complete sense as we think about what we do very carefully. Cut flowers are a luxury, and we think the onus is much greater on the growers of a luxury crop, to protect the environment. We cannot be wasting resources on something that is primarily decorative,” Jo Wright, Flowers from the Farm



Our CEO Fiona Taylor catches up with Chris Collins and shares top tips for ensuring seeds thrive and flourish. They also discuss getting the most out of your local garden centre, and making more informed choices. 



“You do need to be wise about what you’re buying. It’s a question of walking around and seeing what’s native and getting the best out of your shop, getting your money’s worth and supporting biodiversity” says Chris Collins, Head of Horitculture, Garden Organic
