Our Suppliers.
A key aim in
the design of the bouquet was that the ingredients were grown in
the UK. Sadly, the British floriculture industry that once
provided us with cut flowers, has been forced into near
extinction. To achieve our aims, we had to reintroduce cut
rose growing to the south of the UK. We simply wouldn't have
been able to acheve this with out the help of our supplier
partners in this project and in particular, Landgard UK
who provided the glass houses under which the components of the
bouquets are grown and have also acted as the lead project
managers for sourcing and ensuring the flowers are perfect at
Games time. Roses, Mint, Rosemary - Landgard/Chessum Plants - Sussex > more Lavender - Long Barn - Hants > more Wheat - Shropshire Petals > more Legacy - YouGarden > more |
