Flowers cut this week, arranged by hand.

A small studio behind the shop on South Street. We buy at dawn from growers we know, make every arrangement to order, and don't keep stock that wasn't picked this week.

Petals & Stem · Bridport DT6

We’re a small studio. We work with what’s in season.

The shop has been here since 2017. Esme runs the studio behind the back door — a long bench, a cold room, two pairs of secateurs and a kettle. We buy three mornings a week from Sarah at Common Farm in Somerset, from the Tregothnan estate in Cornwall when the camellias are out, and from our own cutting patch out in Symondsbury for the everyday stems.

What we make is whatever has just been picked. Anemone in March, peonies in June, dahlias until the first frost. We do not import roses out of season. We do not keep stock in a fridge for a fortnight. If you want carnations dyed blue, we are the wrong florist.

The studio

The studio sits behind the shop.

It is one room, north-facing, lit by a strip of skylight and a 1980s anglepoise. There is a long zinc-topped bench, a cold room that hums, a kettle, and a radio that mostly plays Radio 3.

Esme has been arranging flowers professionally since 2009. Before Bridport she trained at Scarlet & Violet in London and spent three years at a specialist wedding studio in Frome. Petals & Stem opened on South Street in 2017.
