‘Flower Fairies’ support a kind and sustainable world 

In these difficult times we live in, any ray of sunshine and kindness can make that huge differ-ence to our well being. So when you find a little bouquet of hand tied flowers on a bench with a note on it saying “Please take me home” doesn’t it just make you smile?! 

Jess Sargent runs Fenton Yard Flowers, based in Hampton Hill. As well as becoming a new mum to a little girl, she was diagnosed with a life changing illness. These events made her re evaluate her priorities, made her appreciate nature and flowers and inspired her to follow her dream of training as a florist. She never looked back. But her approach to floristry is in tune with today’s ethos of sustainabil-ity. Her had tied bouquets use seasonal blooms. Her packaging is recyclable. And rather than throwing out the bits and pieces of stems and foliage after she has snipped and created her bou-quets, she reuses the left overs and creates tiny bouquets which she will leave on random benches every Friday. These gifts from “The Flower Fairies” might turn up on a bench at a ceme-tery, a park, a hospital car park, outside the shops. You never know. But they certainly bring joy. 

This charming and smiley young lady puts love and happiness into everything she does. Do check out her story and be in-spired to spread some random happiness yourselves:
