Bio
Scillyflowers, on Churchtown Farm, is based on the stunning Isles of Scilly, 28 miles west of Land’s End off the Cornish coast. From our award winning farm the Julian family run a home delivery service, which sends gorgeous gift boxes of scented island flowers direct from Scilly to any doorstep in the UK. We grow Scented Pinks in the Summer and Scented Narcissi in the Winter, so we can delivery flowers year round.
The farm is based on St Martin's, one of the smaller islands that make up the Isles of Scilly. St Martin's is just 2 miles long and 1/4 of a mile wide and has a population of about 120 people. The warm Gulf Stream flowing around the island creates a sub-tropical climate that makes it possible to grow scented outdoor flowers throughout the year – a mainstay of the Scillonian economy for centuries.
