Hands Full of Flowers: Artisan Floristry in the Scottish Highlands
Nestled in amongst landscapes of the Scottish Highlands in Ullapool, overlooking Lochbroom, Hands Full of Flowers shows it’s sustainability of locally grown flowers. This artisan floristry studio, coupled with a cutting garden, is dedicated to cultivating seasonal blooms that thrive in the Highlands’ unique climate, offering a sustainable and ethereal alternative to imported commercial flowers.
Embracing Local Elegance
At Hands Full of Flowers, the belief is strong that the most beautiful flowers need not come from distant lands. The studio focuses on British flowers that not only adapt to the local climate but also embody an understated elegance that reconnects us with simpler times. These flowers, grown without artificial chemicals, heat, or light, are available from April to October, with preserved and dried options extending the beauty year-round.
Sustainable Practices, Timeless Memories
Inspired by a family tradition of gardening and sharing, Hands Full of Flowers is deeply rooted in memories and sustainable practices passed down through generations. The garden, enriched by cuttings from family estates, blooms with flowers full of stories and heritage. It’s a place where organic practices meet the nostalgia of childhood memories, creating not just arrangements but lasting impressions.
A Sanctuary for Wildlife
The garden is more than just a source of flowers; it’s a haven for local wildlife. With a commitment to chemical-free gardening, the studio encourages a natural ecosystem where slow worms, toads, and lizards play a vital role in maintaining balance. This approach not only nurtures the soil and the flowers but also ensures that each bloom from Hands Full of Flowers is a gift from nature itself.
Artisan Blooms for Every Occasion
Whether it’s for a Highland wedding or a thoughtful gift, Hands Full of Flowers offers bespoke floral designs that reflect the seasons and the landscape. From the first scented narcissi and double petalled tulips of spring to the lush arrangements available for Mother’s Day, each flower tells a story of the Highlands.
Sustainable Choices for the Conscious Consumer
Understanding the importance of environmental stewardship, Hands Full of Flowers champions natural growing methods, recycling, and the use of peat-free compost. Packaging is thoughtfully chosen to be recyclable or reusable, ensuring that beauty does not come at the expense of the planet.
