What people ask us.

Roz Chandler is a British flower farmer with over twelve years' experience and the founder of Field Gate Flowers, a five-acre cut flower farm on the banks of the River Ouse in Buckinghamshire. She hosts The Cut Flower Podcast, leads The Cut Flower Collective education programme and is the author of 'Seed to Vase: How growing cut flowers inspired lives to bloom'.

Field Gate Flowers is based in Lathbury, just outside Newport Pagnell in Buckinghamshire, UK. We deliver wedding, funeral and corporate flowers across Milton Keynes, Buckingham, Olney, Cranfield, Bedford, Towcester and Northampton.

Start with a sunny spot, good free-draining soil, and a short list of reliable annuals — cornflowers, cosmos, zinnias, sweet peas and sunflowers. Sow indoors in March, harden off in late April and plant out after the last frost. Roz's 'Cutting Patch — An Easy Way' course walks beginners through the full season in five short modules.

Yes — but it takes business skills as much as growing skills. A profitable UK flower farm typically combines direct-to-consumer sales (buckets, subscriptions), weddings, wholesale to florists, and high-margin education (workshops, courses). Roz's 'Build a Blooming Business' course and 1:1 mentoring are designed exactly for this.

British-grown floristry uses flowers, foliage and grasses grown on UK soil, in season, without airmiles. It's foam-free, lower-carbon and supports a growing network of small British flower farms. Field Gate Flowers grows almost everything it sells on its Buckinghamshire farm.

The Cut Flower Podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Pocket Casts, Overcast and every major podcast app, as well as directly on this website. New episodes publish weekly.

'Seed to Vase: How growing cut flowers inspired lives to bloom' is Roz Chandler's book about the transformative power of growing cut flowers — part memoir, part how-to, part love letter to British-grown blooms. It pairs with the Seed to Vase course.

Yes. Field Gate Flowers is the leading British-grown wedding flower supplier in the Milton Keynes, Buckingham and North Buckinghamshire area. We work with venues across the region and create bouquets, buttonholes, ceremony flowers, arches and centrepieces.
