Fen Flora

Farmers market - The 1st Thursday of the month in Market Harborough

Going straight to the source often gets you amazing beautiful product, the type of product you are going to find in magnificent London/Edinburgh/Harrogate/Cotswolds flower stands and shops, only way cheaper.

I just bought £10 worth of flowers from a stall at the farmers market in Market Harborough. Met a lovely lady responsible for growing these stunning blooms.

Honestly when I returned to arrange them I had so many stems, in a florist shop they would have cost, maybe £3 a stem, 10 or 20 times the price.

So for my 10 pounds I got flowers for three rooms and a bunch left over for my neighbour.

The beauty of buying flowers from a farmers market the chances are they have been cut for a shorter period of time so will last longer.

Fen Flora do have an EBay shop if you cannot get to the farmers market held in the square on the first Thursday of every month.

I love to find out about people and independent and family run companies will small marketing budgets I haven’t heard of nor would ever likely to hear of unless I get out there and look.

Value, value, value when you shop Fen Flora at the farmers market.
