Celebrate British Flowers Week 16th - 22nd June 25

Join us for this annual event managed by Flowers From the Farm which puts British grown cut flowers and foliage firmly in the spotlight. Originally founded by New Covent Garden Market

A guide to social media for BFW

We want to get as many people as possible to celebrate British flowers – and social media is a great tool to raise awareness and connect with other florists. Our plan is simple: if every Flowers from the Farm member and supporter of British Flowers Week posts about it, we will raise awareness in a major way.

That’s where you come in. On Monday 16 June, we’re encouraging everyone to post about their British flower. It might look like this: 

@britishflowersweek launches today and to celebrate, here’s my favourite British flower.

[FLOWER NAME] is [charming appearance/sweet scent/seasonal bloom – customise this based on the flower]. Every time I see one, it makes me think of [personal note, memory or tradition].

Running from 16–22 June 2025, #BritishFlowersWeek unites florists, flower growers and flower lovers with an exciting programme of talks, tours, workshops and exhibitions.

Want to learn more about British flowers? Follow #BritishFlowersWeek which takes place from the 16–22 June 2025 via @british.flowers.week.

We have launched instagram.com/british.flowers.week as the main platform for the week, and we will also be active on instagram.com/flowersfromthefarm. Please tag these accounts and use the hashtag #BritishFlowersWeek as we’ll be reposting images shared with us throughout the event.

Other ideas for posts might include:

  • Meet the grower: Share your story about who you are and what excites you about British flowers.
  • Behind the scenes: People want to know about what the daily life of someone in the floristry industry is like. Consider showing your regular routine and career trajectory to date.
  • Promote your event: Give people advanced warning about when your event is taking place, exactly what will be involved and how they can join.
