The Flower Festival gives free creative rein to the invited florists to share their artistry, expertise, and passion for sustainable floral design, shining a spotlight on the beauty, variety and versatility of the fresh and dried flowers and foliage cultivated by British flower farmers.
Curators Leigh Chappell & Janne Ford have commissioned over thirty floral designers and growers to respond to the spectacular interiors of the House. Including Hampshire growers Hortus Poeticus, who will transform the stairwell with exceptional English flowers that will fill the space with their remarkable scent and beauty and present this year’s Masterclass. As part of this year’s line-up, we also welcome industry stars Henck Rolling, who was a part of the team that created the Orchid display at Kew, and the exciting Sophie Powell from Unidentified Floral Object.
The Flower Festival is proudly sponsored by Savills Teddington.
In association with Flowers from the Farm, the award-winning membership organisation championing artisan growers of local, seasonal British cut flowers.
