It’s been a year of extremes – heatwaves, pests, surprises (both good and bad!) – and as I plan what to grow next season, I’m taking everything I’ve learned and pouring it into the next round of blooms. In this post, I’m sharing what worked, what didn’t, and how I’m adapting for a more resilient, sustainable, and abundant flower patch in 2026. Plus, I’d love your help choosing what to grow next!

July has arrived with scorching heat, dry soil, and a lot of flower-farm grit! In this month’s blog, we’re sharing a real look at how the weather’s affecting our blooms, what’s thriving despite the sun, and what life behind the flower stand really looks like during a heatwave. From early morning harvests to hosepipe chaos, come take a peek at July on the farm—and find out what’s still to come in bloom.

Biennials are the secret stars of the cutting garden — quietly sown one year, and bursting into bloom the next. In this blog, I’m sharing why these slow growers are worth the wait, how we grow them here at Evie & Flo, and which varieties I couldn’t live without. If you’re planning next year’s flowers, now’s the perfect time to get inspired!

From ruffled ranunculus to cheerful zinnias, here are my top 10 favourite flowers I'm growing this season on the flower farm—packed with scent, colour, and joy!
