The flower fields at Keeping The Plot grow with the seasons and feature a wide range of annuals, perennials, bulbs, and woody shrubs. Particular pride is taken in growing unusual, old-fashioned varieties with beautiful scents that lift spirits.
You can’t find bouquets like these commercially; the farm tends its fields with sustainability and the local community in mind. Gardener Sarah Hunter follows organic principles and builds the soil to encourage a healthy network below our feet. The chemical-free flowers not only brighten up the countryside and homes around Fife, but they are also a source of food for bees and many beneficial insects.
Keeping The Plot is a member of Flowers of the Farm, an organisation supporting small scale producers and florists who grow British flowers. The farm’s bouquets are fragrant and unique and are arranged in an informal style that reflects the flowers’ natural beauty. Keeping The Plot offers blooms for special occasions, everyday enjoyment, and Flowers Arrangers Buckets (FAB), which give people the opportunity to be creative and arrange their own flowers at home.
