Welcome to Sweet Peas and Bumble Bees

Locally grown Eco friendly cut flowers

At Sweet Peas and Bumble Bees reminisce with flowers from bygone days, old English roses, snapdragons, sweet peas, lupins and honey suckle to name but a few. We grow our flowers in a beautiful old walled garden and cut them fresh for our customers.

Our gorgeous flowers are eco friendly, seasonal and scented. They are available to buy through farmers markets and specialist shops in our local area of Essex, Herts and Cambridgeshire.

Private viewings of our heavenly garden are available to customers organizing a special occasion, by appointment.

Recent government figures show that the average bunch of valentines flowers have flown 33,000 air miles to reach Britain.

2/3rds of cut flowers sold in Great Britain are imported.

Our Testimonials

Dear Ashley (if I may)

I just wanted to send you a quick note of thanks. Having stumbled across your attractive website a few days ago, I decided to take a chance and order a bouquet of summer flowers for my mum's birthday, because I loved the idea of being able to send eco-friendly, old- fashioned flowers grown locally.

Well, my mum is delighted with the bouquet - she told me yesterday that the flowers are both beautiful and unusual, and they arrived early in the day and in perfect condition.

So I am a very happy customer, and will certainly use your services again!

Kind regards

Frances H
