Its time to Stop Guessing and Start Growing with Success
Tired of guessing when to sow, only to end up with weak seedlings or gaps in your plot when seeds don't germinate!
Our Autumn/Winter Grow Alongs take out the confusion and keep you on track with a clear plan.
Together, we’ll sow Hardy annuals, perennials and tricky crops at the right time — so you’re not left behind or wasting trays.
Think of it as having a growing calendar, coach, and community all in one. You’ll know exactly what to do, when to do it, and why it matters — so you head into spring with strong plants, full beds, and confidence in your growing.

These guides are intended as a resource to help growers reach their full potential. You may be new to flower farming and just at the beginning of your journey, our everyday guides are available on the Growing Guides pages, or you may be far down the road, be an experienced grower, and just want to explore new avenues, learn new skills or just make sure you are not missing out on anything.
I have been a professional buyer for 25 years, so helping businesses make money has been and still is my day job. I am also passionate about flowers, gardening and floristry and have been running Fuchsia Blooms Florist for 6 years & growing my own flowers for 30 years.
I have experience in online website management and marketing, although these are not my professional areas of expertise I am always happy to share my knowledge with others. So if there is anything you would like advise on which is not covered below then do get in touch.
