ABOUT

Hi, I'm Lisa,
Passionate about British grown flowers, an advocate for natural, sustainable floristry and founder of Gate House Florals.
This business came as a reaction. I couldn't find the natural style of floristry and seasonal flowers I wanted for my Uncle's funeral, so I thought I would do it myself. Learn to grow and then learn to arrange flowers - but the way I envisioned, with seasonal British gown flowers, thoughtfully arranged, with care for the environment. I don't offer plastic shapes, glitter or artificially enhanced, exotic stems of blooms flown in from across the world speared into a block of green foam. I offer British seasonal blooms, the colours, scents and diversity of the countryside, meadowland and garden, naturally arranged and as sustainably as possible.
You will find me, outside for hours each day in my happy place - my garden, growing flowers on our family land between Bridgnorth and Albrighton in Shropshire. My initial three raised beds has turned into over 60 square metres of dedicated cut flower beds, country garden and woodland.
I have trained as a grower and florist with the very best in the industry. I am so proud to be a member of Flowers from the Farm, The Sustainable Floristry Network and part of a new, modern aesthetic in British floral design.

SUSTAINABLE BLOOMS
Our flowers are the quintessential vintage English country flowers that we fondly remember from the lazy hot summers of our childhoods; sweet peas, dahlias, roses and more. They have scent , character and a little wildness at times. Stems may not always be straight, and there may be a nibble in a leaf - but that's nature isn't it? Our flowers are grown naturally without nasty chemicals or being dipped in silver nitrate to preserve them on a long flight. They are local, scented, seasonal, English garden blooms.
Our home and garden is nestled in the beautiful South Shropshire countryside, where the River Worfe runs through our land and woods. From April to September we grow, arrange and sell flowers for bunches, bouquets, bespoke farewell flowers & our floral workshops.
