Marguerite Rose
Devon's Sustainable Flower Farmer Florist
FOUNDED IN 2021
Beginnings
In the heart of Devon's rolling countryside, Marguerite Rose's story began with nothing more than a patch of earth and love for gardening. Armed with only hand tools and determination, she transformed bare land into what would become one of Devon's most thoughtful flower farms.
“Marguerite’s Acre”
With unwavering determination and a limited budget, she built this thriving farm from the ground up. From hand-digging the very first flower borders to constructing her own greenhouses, Marguerite has poured her heart and soul into every aspect of the farm.
Her initial inspiration stemmed from a desire to create a haven for the local wildlife, particularly the bees and insects that rely on flowers for survival. As her passion for growing flourished, so did her understanding of the intricate ecosystems at play. She began experimenting with diverse flower species, always prioritising nature and sustainability.
The Seed is Planted
Marguerite's values
Growing with purpose
Marguerite Rose started growing flowers because she wanted to help the bees and butterflies that were struggling in her corner of Devon. What began as concern for local wildlife turned into something she genuinely loves—working with the seasons, growing what thrives naturally here, and creating bouquets from flowers she’s watched grow from seed.
She only uses what she grows herself, not because it sounds good, but because she knows exactly how each flower was treated. No chemicals, no forcing blooms out of season, no flowers flown in from elsewhere. Just honest growing, honest work, and flowers that reflect what’s actually happening in her fields each month.
It’s simple really—Marguerite grows flowers the way she thinks they should be grown, for the wildlife that needs them and the people who love them.
Quality from the ground up
Marguerite Rose believes the finest flowers come from the finest conditions. She measures quality by the health of the ecosystem and the abundance of wildlife it supports, knowing that this approach creates the healthiest and most beautiful blooms.
Working with seasons
Marguerite Rose only grows what nature intends for each season. She refuses to force blooms out of their natural timing, believing that seasonal flowers are not only more sustainable but also more beautiful and longer-lasting.
True sustainability
For Marguerite Rose, true sustainability isn't just about avoiding chemicals. It's about creating a garden where plants, wildlife, soil, and water all work together in perfect balance, sustaining each other naturally.
Local Connection
Rooted in Devon's unique landscape, Marguerite Rose knows that protecting the region's natural heritage takes a community. She works closely with local partners, conservation groups, and neighbors to ensure Devon's beauty thrives for future generations.
Environmental Stewardship
Marguerite Rose sees her land as a trust, not a resource to be depleted. She works in harmony with Devon's natural cycles, enhancing biodiversity and improving the local environment with each season.
Always learning
Marguerite Rose believes that working with nature means never stopping learning. She constantly adapts her methods based on what the seasons teach her, always seeking better ways to grow.
Sustainable Flower Growing, Collaborations, and Our Future Plans in Devon
FROM SOIL TO CELEBRATION
Complete Seed-to-Vase Journey
Every bloom in your bouquet begins as a carefully selected seed planted by Marguerite's own hands in Devon soil. By nurturing each flower through its entire lifecycle—from germination to harvest—she ensures exceptional quality, fragrance, and longevity that imported blooms simply cannot match. This complete stewardship allows her to offer truly sustainable arrangements with no air miles, a genuine connection to Devon's seasons, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing exactly how your flowers were grown.
PARTNERSHIPS & PEOPLE
Who Marguerite grows for
Marguerite Rose serves both individual flower lovers and local Devon businesses with her farm-fresh blooms. Her seasonal bouquets bring joy to households throughout the region, while she also supplies several local businesses—boutique hotels and restaurants seeking fresh flowers for their spaces, and independent shops wanting to offer customers a taste of Devon's natural beauty. These partnerships allow Marguerite's flowers to reach more people while supporting the community's small business network, creating connections between local enterprises that share her commitment to sustainability and authentic Devon character.
FUTURE HORIZONS
Growing With Nature
Marguerite Rose is forever evolving in harmony with the Devon landscape she calls home. Her recent expansion into a new growing field marks an exciting chapter in her story, especially as she's partnered with a local honey producer to create a truly symbiotic relationship. While her flowers provide rich foraging for their bees throughout the growing season, these industrious pollinators enhance her blooms' quality and yield through their vital work. This collaboration represents exactly the kind of natural partnership she seeks—one where both businesses thrive while supporting the delicate ecosystems they depend upon. Of course, Marguerite also gets some excellent honey out of the deal, along with the occasional bee sting to keep her humble. As she looks to the future, she'll continue seeking these balanced relationships that strengthen the community, improve her flowers, and support the wildlife that inspired her to start growing in the first place.
