Shillingstone is growing edible flowers for Cocktails

May 2020 - Katy Knott from Floral Shaker, arrived the other day to pick up her first tray of edible flowers for her cocktails. Katy used to run a wonderful florist, Rustic Rose, in Sturminster Newton but has moved on to launch Floral Shaker, a contemporary mix of floral design, cocktails and workshops - they are so beautiful.

Her aim is to create an inspiring atmosphere for gathering ideas for a stylish wedding or colourful party with the perfect floral creations and cocktail experience. Her fun designer cocktails mix edible flowers and traditional recipes with a modern twist. She also runs fun and practical flower workshops suitable for all skill levels, either one-to-one or for groups - great for hen parties. 

We have agreed to supply some of these flowers from the garden here which is very exciting.  The pansies are the first to be planted out and they look lovely in the raised beds instead of leeks and the early roses are out.
