My name is Emma Parkinson - my business name Bumble and Iris comes from a combination of a love of Bumble Bees and a favourite Auntie Iris whose name was given to my daughter but also represents a beautiful flower. 

​

I adore being in the garden and in particular I love to grow colourful, scented and bee friendly flowers. 

​

In my cottage garden and an additional local plot I grow natural and fragranced country garden flowers which cannot be found in your local florist or supermarket. 

 

Bumble and Iris is set in the beautiful British countryside - in the deepest rural county of Devon

- on the edge of Dartmoor National Park. 

​

I only work with my own flowers grown from seed - filled with love and care through every stage or other locally grown flowers when I am providing for a wedding or event. 

 

Being in the greenhouse and garden is a great remedy for the stresses of life and I enjoy seeing the bees, birds and butterflies enjoying the refuge of the garden. 

​

I am a member of Flowers from the Farm - a national network of British flower growers .

Only 10% of flowers sold in the UK are grown here - I am hoping to reduce flower miles and increase diversity in my immediate environment as well as in local business.
