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

From the moment we met Ashley and saw her beautiful walled garden we knew there was no one else who could possibly do the flowers for our wedding. Ashley and her team are the most delightful people we've met and her flowers are breathtakingly gorgeous. Over the year of planning our wedding we've not only become number one fans of her flowers but of her, and we were so happy that she was part of our whole wedding planning experience. I know she and her team put their hearts and souls in to growing, cutting and arranging our flowers and the joy that went into them made them a very special part of our day. We had such wonderful comments on the flowers and our bouquets. The only problem is that I now have a dangerous flower habit and cannot go back to lifeless supermarket flowers!"

If you ever want to put any potential customers in touch with us to sing your praises then I couldn't be happier to do so - please feel free to pass on our details to anyone who wants a reference for your wonderfulness.

With much love from your number one fans.
