WORKING FLOWER FARM & GARDEN
Situated on the Eaglesham Moor, 14 miles south from central Glasgow, Days of Dahlia is a wild 5 acres of upland landscape, surrounded by woodland, a wind farm, and shaped by weather, centuries of farming, and ancient human settlements dating back to the Bronze Age. The land is now managed as a small-scale flower farm. Our goal is to make the land biodiverse and productive once again, for the health of the soil and water, for the benefit of the surrounding ecosystems, and for the creative needs of those who live, work, and visit here. We grow flowers not just for their beauty alone, but as an invitation to slow down and return to a more attentive 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 beauty 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. Our flower farm and gardens 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 and more grounded way of being and the importance of taking the time to enjoy the small, fleeting moments that often pass unnoticed.

&
Louisina
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 naturalistic floral design in their flower school near Glasgow and online. 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.
Ranunculus asiaticus is a tuberous flowering plant belonging to the Ranunculaceae family, native to the eastern Mediterranean and parts of southwest Asia. At Days of Dahlia, it flowers under the shelter of the polytunnel from early May, producing long, delicate stems topped with densely layered flowers that resemble crumpled silk. The name ranunculus comes from the Latin for “little frog,” a reference to the plant’s preference for moist growing conditions in the wild. The flowers appear in every colour and hue, soft apricot, caramel, blush pink, cream, burgundy, and buttery yellow, and more, with each bloom unfolding slowly into intricate concentric petals. Their flowering season is brief but generous, arriving at the threshold between spring and summer when the garden begins to feel full of possibility.

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.
