ABOUT US
Hi I’m Catherine, founder of Catherine | Alexander Flower Farm. With the help of family and friends we have gone from a muddy field last December, to a now very productive flower farm.
I have been involved in horticulture in some way or form as long as I can remember with an obsession for being outside in nature. I trained and worked as a Landscape Designer studying at the English Gardening School, Chelsea. I combined this with working as a gardener for a couple of country houses, then went on to work for English Heritage at both Audley End and Wrest Park. I love working in an historic landscape - enjoying being part of that wider landscape.
My flower farm sits just below the top of a hill, overlooking farm land across to the distant wooded hills – a beautiful place to observe the changing seasons and enjoy the local wildlife, particularly brown hares and English partridge. It’s a place to think, create and most of all grow.
We have built the flower farm using sustainable and organic practices – from ‘No Dig’ beds to harvesting rainwater. I am growing the flowers and foliage I love, and hope you will too. They are beautifully fragrant, often heirloom varieties both field grown and under cover in the polytunnel to protect precious blooms.
I supply to the wholesale market - local florists and floral event designers. If you are a local florist or planning a large event and would like to be supplied with buckets of gorgeous seasonal scented flowers and foliage, just get in touch.
