Competition | Win flowers for a year

Iona Bower January 19, 2022

Cheer your home all year round with 12 months of scented blooms from Scilly Flowers

Spring is just around the corner and as the promise of new growth pokes its head through the frozen soil, we are reminded of the joy that flowers can bring to these often dreary grey days of winter. With that in mind, we’ve teamed up with Scilly Flowers to offer one lucky reader the chance to win a whole year’s worth of flowers delivered direct to your front door.

Just imagine receiving a fresh box of 40 scented blooms every month for a year – that’s sure to put a smile on your face and add a burst of colour to your home, no matter what the weather is up to outside. In the winter months you’ll receive scented narcissi with their pretty miniature daffodil flower heads, while in summer, scented pinks – similar to carnations but with more delicate, pastel shades – will perfume the air.

Churchtown Farm on St Martin’s, part of the Isles of Scilly, has been sending flowers for the past 30 years and is now in the capable hands of Zoë and Ben Julian, the latest generation to keep the flower growing tradition alive and thriving. Located just off the coast of Cornwall, the flowers flourish thanks to the tall hedges and drystone walls that provide shelter from the bracing Atlantic winds, allowing them to grow outdoors without any additional heat or light.

The ideal gift to brighten someone’s day, Scilly Flowers are then picked and packed in paper to minimise plastic packaging and, as they are sent straight from the farm direct to the recipient, they don’t clock up any unnecessary ‘flower miles’, keeping their environmental footprint to a minimum. Once on display, these beautiful blooms are guaranteed to bring a smile to your face and remind you of the joy that’s home grown in Scilly. For more info, visit scillyflowers.co.uk or follow on Insta: @scillyflowers.

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
