Meet Roz, hear how Field Gate Flowers began, and read her three golden rules for starting a cutting patch from scratch.

Before

Where most would-be growers stop.

  • · "I don't know where to start."
  • · "My seedlings keep dying."
  • · "I have flowers for two weeks, then nothing."
  • · "Everything's at the same height, same time, same colour."
  • · "I can't tell what's a weed and what's a cosmos."

After Seed to Vase

Where our growers end up.

  • A sowing calendar pinned to the potting shed.
  • Seedlings that actually make it to the patch.
  • Flowers from May through October, for rooms, for friends, for weddings.
  • A repeatable system, not a hopeful guess.

What our growers say.

"I'd killed every plant I'd ever met. Roz taught me what a good seedling looks like, and I've had cut flowers on the kitchen table every week since May."

, Helen, Cotswolds

"The live calls are worth the fee on their own. Roz is half mentor, half mother hen, brilliant with beginners."

, Priya, North London
