Sustainable ecosystems for the Flower Patch
At the Solent Flower Patch, nature works in harmony! Alongside our beautiful blooms, we have hives of honey bees and care for a number of ex- commercial hens who live out their retirement with us, creating a sustainable ecosystem.
The bees tirelessly pollinate our flowers, while our happy hens contribute nutrient-rich waste to our compost bins. We compost all our green waste, returning it to the soil to enrich our plant beds naturally.
Every flower grown here is nurtured by the love of our animals and our commitment to sustainability.
