Read excerpt
Hello and welcome to this week’s Dahlia Diary from another completely dahlia tastic week here on our flower farm in the South Cotswolds. It’s been another busy one, with the third of our series of four Autumn Dahlia Masterclasses on Wednesday, nearly 800 stems heading off the farm for wholesale customers and some lovely brides coming to cut, or simply collect, their wedding flowers.

And I am BACK!! Well, actually, I was back nearly two weeks ago, two weeks tomorrow. But boy, did I come back with a bang. The 13 degree clement temperatures of the Isle of Mull, with the constant gorgeous drizzle hanging over our heads, seem like a long distant memory. I came back to a very, very full cutting diary.
