The Flower Farming Year with Rachel Siegfried
We spent a full year filming flower farmer Rachel Siegfried and her partner Ash Pearson on their beautiful farm Green and Gorgeous in Oxfordshire. Rachel guides us through all the major annual tasks, beginning with seed sowing on a frosty January morning, working through all four seasons; until we finally discover how she spends the deep, winter days at her potter’s wheel. Rachel demonstrates the major annual tasks and shares with us her years of accumulated knowledge, and tips on which plants are her key performers at each stage of the year. Each seasonal film is packed with practical information for anyone wanting to grow cut flowers and foliage, whether it be for home use or on a larger, commercial scale. Our videographer John Campbell uses carefully crafted shots to deliver a film that is not only visually beautiful but also with the practical tools to turn your inspiration into cut flower production!
