Sweet peas growing in the garden for cutting

Welcome to Floral Notes Flowers

Distilling the garden's essence

Cut flowers, grown and arranged

What we do

Floral Notes is a micro market garden that grows cut flowers.

Rooted in the country gardening tradition, I capture the seasons' essence, selecting flowers and foliage of the moment so you can bring the outdoors in and decorate your home with colour and scent.

I offer hand-tied bouquets and table flowers for small summer events and DIY buckets for you to arrange yourself as well as supplying florists with British grown flowers for their clients.

Where and how

Based in Great Easton, a village on the Leicestershire/ Rutland/ Northamptonshire border, I cultivate with the environment in mind, treading carefully as I grow.

What I do is seasonal and air miles-free, helping to reduce the consumer's carbon footprint in a delightful way.

Who

Gardener-cum-florist, Esther McMillan, runs the concoction that is Floral Notes Flowers.

I've a nose for a good plant and have always loved bringing garden flowers into my home.

Now I grow on a larger scale offering glorious, wondrous, romantic flowers for sale!

For many years, I delved in country house gardens and flower rooms as a head gardener and a National Trust advisor. My work and writing has featured in Gardens Illustrated, The Garden, Country Life, Gardeners' World and Country Living magasines.
