Essentially Hops

At essentiallyhops we have over 50 years of hop growing experience and over 10 years of selling decorative hop garlands by mail order. We also produce a wide range of grasses and flower varieties, which are either supplied fresh (during the growing season), or kiln dried, for year round colour.

Hops are widely recognised for their use in beer and sleep pillows. They are also highly sought after for their beautiful decorative qualities, as the cultivated hop plant produces a beautiful fresh garland that is ready to harvest at the end of August.

You may have seen our hops on the TV movie "Richard II" (BBC2 June 2012) and during "Primeval" (I.T.V.1 June 2012)

At essentiallyhops we have over 60 years of hop growing experience and over 20 years of selling decorative hop garlands by mail order. We harvest, dry, condition and box our dried garlands, so that they can be stored for use throughout the rest of the year.

We also grow a wide range of grasses and flower varieties, which are either supplied fresh (during the growing season), or kiln dried, for year round colour.
At Christmas, the shop is transformed into a grotto of traditional decorations, garlands, table displays and wreaths.

Our Farm Shop compliments our range by offering a wide range of interior design ideas, from floral sundries, baskets and other dried materials a craft person may require. We also provide a service of ready made arrangements and gifts for all the family. At Christmas, the shop is transformed into a grotto of traditional decorations, garlands, table displays and wreaths.

Our Services

At essentiallyhops we harvest, dry, condition and box our dried garlands, so that they can be stored for use throughout the rest of the year.

The hop is a wonderful garland in the home and looks just as good growing in the garden - Hop plants are available between December and April.

Artificial Flowers

We do prefer natural products at Essentially Hops however we do find that there is a need to sometimes add a little "extra" to our displays. In this section we have a good range of affordable artificial flowers that is look great mixed in with our natural flowers and also on their own.

Wedding Flowers

It is always important to have a florist you can trust to make up your wedding flowers on such an important day of your life. At Essentially Hops we pride ourselves on our quality of service, and results, whatever your budget or requirements.

Fresh Farm Flowers

We grow many varieties of fresh flowers which we sell by the bunch at our farmshop with other locally grown flowers in season.

If you visit our shop, we usually have seasonal special offers on our own flowers and sometimes have PICK YOUR OWN sunflowers.
Local flower deliveries are free of charge - please ring 01227 830666 for more information from our experienced florists.
We happily send our freshly picked flowers by mail order to mainland UK destinations only. We dry pack the stems so when they arrive they will need a jolly good drink of water.

Fresh Flower Bouquets

We made our handties, aquapacks and other floral tributes to order. Here are a few ideas to tempt you to place an order for a gift to be delivered locally to us (within a 10 mile radius). If you wish to do so online, you can place the order and give your credit card information securely but you will need to email us at shop@essentiallyhops.co.uk at the same time with your budget and what you would like us to send. We are happy to call you back to discuss your requirements.

Unfortunately we are unable to deliver fresh flower gifts nationally
