Christmas Flowers (from Cornwall)
This year we’ve created some wonderful Christmas flower boxes. They’ll arrive bursting with beautifully scented, freshly picked Cornish flowers and seasonal foliage including bay and rosemary from the Rocket Farm. Send to friends and loved ones or treat yourself to a house full of flowers in time for Christmas. Our larger boxes are perfect if you’d like to fill lots of vases in lots of rooms (unless you live in Downton Abbey and then you’ll need to order quite a few!)
RECEIVE OUR £20 BOX OF FLOWERS FOR FREE WHEN YOU SPEND OVER £100 THIS CHRISTMAS*
Our flowers are picked fresh and delivered to you in bud within 48 hours of leaving the field.
Standard box of flowers and festive foliage £20 Including: 50 mixed stems of scented narcissi, Cornish daffodils and seasonal foliage
Large box of flowers and festive foliage
*Offer ends Monday 17th December 2012. Order value must be over £100 excluding p&p. Box of flowers will be sent to your billing address unless otherwise stated. Box of flowers will not appear in website shopping basket but we will make sure this is delivered to you week commencing 17th December 2012. Cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer.

Grown not flown – Only 10% of the flowers sold in the UK are grown here (which is pretty crazy) and the average bunch of flowers that is sold in the UK travels over 4000 miles to reach you. The flowers we will send you either come from flower farms local to us in Cornwall or from the beautiful Isles of Scilly (only about 40 miles from us as the crow flies). In fact, we can see some of the very flowers that will arrive on your doorstep growing in the fields outside our window, so we know how lovely they look.
...add a box of chocolates If you’d like to add a box of delicious handmade chocolates to your flower order then try a box from our friends at Trenance Chocolates. They are made in Mullion, just 5 miles down the road from the Rocket Farm.
