Field & Design Philosophy
Featherstone Flowers is an award-winning floral design studio and large-scale flower farm rooted in sustainability, natural design, and a deep respect for the land. Our flower fields and the surrounding farmland lie at the very heart of Featherstone Flowers, informing and inspiring our work.
​​
Our uniquely abundant, natural style reflects the changing seasons using British-grown - and only ever British grown - flowers. Most are grown and handpicked here on our farm in Hampshire’s Test Valley to be arranged in our Tithe Barn studio.
​​
Your flowers come from this unique collaboration between our talented florists and gardeners. We want your flowers to feel thoughtful, distinctive, and of the moment — whether it’s a wedding full of meaning or a special bouquet delivery.
Who We Are
Friends and business partners Katie Stone (Head of Floristry & Design) and Jess Roberts (Head of Horticulture) founded Featherstone Flowers in 2019.
​​
We met through a mutual love of working with flowers - two passionate and ambitious individuals with a shared belief in the beauty of British flowers and a thoughtful, seasonal approach to floristry.
​​
We’re supported by a brilliant team who help bring everything to life — from those working in the flower field to our florists in the barn. Friendly, experienced, and professional, they share our commitment to growing and designing with care.
The home of Featherstone Flowers is an ancient and beautiful tithe barn over 550 years old and Grade I listed. Built with a timber frame, low flint walls, stone dressings and an old plain tile roof, it has a striking, cathedral-like presence that never fails to impress.
​
The Tithe Barn is said to have hosted the courts of King Charles I and II, been home to markets centuries ago and seen the founding of Comic Relief in September 1984 .
Today it is here that we are incredibly fortunate to create, gather, and welcome guests for our workshops, flower farm suppers and private events.
Our Tithe Barn Studio
We strive to be as sustainable as possible in all aspects of our business. We are members of Flowers from the Farm, the Association of Green Funerals and of the Sustainable Wedding Alliance and are working towards BCorp certification and membership of the Sustainable Floristry Network.
Sustainable Growing
Our work begins in the field. From sowing the first seeds to cutting stems at their peak, we grow the majority of our flowers here on our farm according to the principles of regenerative agriculture. These practices protect the soil and allow the life in it to recover. This reduces the reliance on fertilisers, prevents run-off and reduces water usage. We only use organic approved fertilisers and plant invigorators.
We are constantly looking to be improving the land which we manage to boost biodiversity and have already seen a huge increase in insect numbers and variety of species.
​
Sustainable Floristry
We use only British-grown flowers in our work, never imported. By avoiding air freight and refrigeration, and growing without pesticides or plastic wrap, we reduce the carbon footprint of our floristry by over 95% compared to designs that rely on imported stems.
Our waste reduction efforts have led to 100% waste-free weddings, where all plant material is composted, and mechanics are reused.
​
Our design practice is entirely foam-free, and our installations are built using reusable or compostable materials. Every detail — from large-scale arrangements to subtle finishing touches — is designed to feel natural, generous, and considered.
