natural botanicals

Here at Merrywood we grow and collect many of the flowers, hips, seeds and berries we use in our floral creations. Set on a small farm amidst the rolling Wealden landscape we have orchards, woodland and paddocks around us. Harvesting and drying starts in March with the hellebores and continues throughout the summer and autumn and finishes in December with the rose hips. All are grown without sprays or chemicals and we manage the land in a way that encourages diversity and wildlife, which of course sometimes, means a little sharing.
