White Goose Flower Farm is based within a two acre Victorian walled garden, its frameyard and south slip.

Surrounded by rolling hills, mixed woodland, tiny lanes and - being only five miles from the market town of Melton Mowbray, you may sense the merest suggestion of Stilton Cheese and Pork Pies.

We are currently shut for the winter but weather dependent we will open again April. For all the latest flier farm updates follow us on Instagram and Facebook. 

From April to October we open the walled garden every Friday 2-4pm and Saturday 10am-4pm where you can stroll the garden, select your flowers and we will create a bespoke bouquet. Alternatively you can take your flowers away to enjoy arranging at home. Being in the garden is where you really get to experience the beauty and whimsical nature of British flowers. 

The garden was once an important feature of Little Dalby Hall pictured below, both for fruit, vegetable and flower production and as a pleasure garden - guests would have been invited to take a stroll around it, admire it's symmetry and impressive south wall of elegant glasshouses.

In 1945 after use a military hospital, as with so many of the great English estates, the hall fell into disrepair and both enormous wings were demolished, leaving only the square chest of this once magnificent building. The walled garden also fell into disuse, the glass houses crumbled, the wells were filled and weeds gained a stronghold in a growing space which in its heyday would have employed approximately sixteen gardeners, under the watchful eye of the head gardener, a master of his craft holding a vital position at the Hall.

After many years used as a paddock, the area is now returning to its horticultural roots, sadly there are not sixteen gardeners - just us doing the work of sixteen gardeners - being watched over by the self appointed head gardener, Sebastian [polite formal title] - a white goose of dubious character - and his harem.

Mark and Fleur have a combined total of over fifty years involvement in horticulture and arboriculture, including experience in garden design, landscaping and plant nursery production.

The desire to grow flowers sustainably and ethically is paramount to White Goose.

We produce quality, long lived blooms, of colour, texture and fragrance far superior to those traditionally sourced, whilst treading lightly and encouraging a symbiotic relationship with nature.
