WORKING FLOWER FARM, GARDEN & SCHOOL
EXPLORING FLOWERS THROUGH GROWING & DESIGN
Situated on the Eaglesham Moor, near Glasgow, Days of Dahlia is a wild 5 acres of upland landscape, surrounded by woodland, the White Cart river, a wind farm, and shaped by weather, centuries of farming, and ancient human settlements dating back to the Bronze Age. The land is now a flower farm and garden. Our mission is to make the land biodiverse and productive once again, for the health of the soil and river, for the benefit of the surrounding ecosystems, for the welfare of the local wildlife, and for the creative needs of those who live, work, and visit here. We grow flowers not just for their beauty, but as an invitation to slow down and return to a more attentive, seasonal, and nature-led way of living. Rooted in the garden and the rhythms of the seasons, we have created a place where creativity, ecology, horticulture, and hospitality overlap. We grow flowers that bring people together and create experiences that reconnect us to a sense of wonder, ritual, and belonging. We believe that the beauty of flowers has a practical purpose; it can slow the pace of modern life, restore attention to the natural world, and create meaningful connections between people and place. We believe the beauty of flowers also has a higher purpose, to connect our minds and souls with the wonder of nature. Our growing spaces are tended with the understanding that landscapes are living conversations and are in constant flux. Our work is rooted in the practice of growing, observing, admiring, and creating with flowers, but also encouraging a slower, more sustainable, and more grounded way of being, and acknowledging the importance of taking the time to enjoy the small, fleeting moments that often pass unnoticed.

Days of Dahlia was founded by mother and daughter, Lauren and Louisina in 2018, who work side-by-side growing flowers with an organic and sustainable approach, creating floristry for events, television, creative projects, and teaching artistic, sustainable and seasonally-led floral design in their flower school near Glasgow and online through their membership Seasonal Pursuits. Together they have over four decades of experience in the floral industry, from retail to event floristry, to horticulture and growing, and 15 years experience in the visual arts from exhibiting, community engagement, and teaching.

The rose is a flowering shrub belonging to the Rosaceae family, cultivated for centuries across the world for its beauty, fragrance, and symbolism. At Days of Dahlia, roses begin flowering in early June, producing elegant, thorned stems crowned with flowers that range from the tightly furled to fully open, ruffled shapes. The rose is a flower long associated with love, celebration, and remembrance appearing in an extraordinary spectrum of colours, from soft blush, creamy ivory, to warm apricot, rich crimson, and deep plum. Each flower unfurls gradually, revealing layers and layers of delicate petals and a distinctive perfume that drifts through the garden on warm days. Their flowering season stretches across the summer months, offering a succession of flowers that bring fragrance, beauty, and romance to the garden.

Flowers with a Story.
We grow garden flowers; fresh, seasonal, fragrant, natural, and beautiful stems. Each flower's shape, petal, colour, and stem is entirely unique to the next, even within the same variety. Our ingredients grow happily in the same climate and at the right time of year. Much like food, we believe that using local ingredients produces the best results. Our arrangements are characterful, meaningful, and representative of a time and place. Our farm is a haven for wildlife and we share our growing spaces with many precious birds, insects, animals, and amphibians that we are devoted to nurturing alongside with flowers.
