Seasonal flowers and foliage from all over the United Kingdom have arrived at Westminster Abbey, ahead of the Coronation of The King and The Queen Consort on 6th May. The flowers have been provided by Flowers from the Farm, a non-profit association that champions artisan growers of cut flowers, with foliage from the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) at the High Altar.
From the Isle of Skye to the coast of Cornwall, and from the mountains of Snowdonia to Tobermore in Northern Ireland, over 120 varieties of flowers have been grown by over 80 members of Flowers from the Farm on farmland, allotments and cutting gardens across the four nations of the United Kingdom.
The arrangements, designed by Shane Connolly and Co, will reflect Their Majesties’ deep affection for the natural world and their shared passion for gardening, and showcase the best of the British countryside in the Spring, inspired by the richness of Westminster Abbey.
