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.
