Hammer Hill Farm has been Violets and Velvet's address for the past year, and soon to be a stunning new wedding venue for marquee, tipi and yurt weddings. The farm has some really stunning views over the Essex countryside and is the new home also to The Violets and Velvet Cutting Garden
My plans at the moment basically consist of loads of dahlias, I love them and have lovely childhood memories of buying them tied with wool from the allotments. We've always had dahlias at home so I think Scott (Mr Violet) and I will hopefully have some success with them. Scott is my secret weapon as he's a landscape gardener ever so slightly obsessed with gardening which is great as I can pick his brains along with roping him in to do some weeding.
Right then, I should get on with my plan. Our lovely landlord John is letting me have a 8m x 8m square of his field which is a great size for us to get started on. So, along with of course the dahlias I'm going to try some easier flower varieties for starters, with some more herbs I think. I love herbs with flowers and in my opinion you can never have too much foliage! O.k, I'm off to browse through my new porn, seed catalogues.
