Our story
From a Norfolk field to your door
Every seed we recommend has been chosen by people who actually grow these flowers, right here at Bishy Barnabees Cottage Garden in Norfolk. We know which varieties thrive in UK conditions and which are genuinely worth a gardener's time.
We grow, dry and harvest our flowers by hand on the farm. When it comes to choosing which seeds to sell, we choose as growers, not as retailers.
