Situated in almost three acres of land, is our home and where we had planted seeds that are growing into more than we ever imagined…
About
Aizel Finch is a flower grower in Taunton, Somerset. She began planting in her flower field in 2020 and named it after their home — Yalham Hayes.
It is situated on what was 203 acres of Yalham Farm which is believed to be the source of the River Otter!
With one acre devoted to flower growing, it is founded on responsible farming practices, permaculture, family and community.
About Aizel
Since setting up the flower farm in 2020, Aizel has immersed herself in floristry workshops, learning from floral artists, grower florists who champion sustainable floral mechanics.
Aizel’s approach is collaborative at times involving other senior florists and local artists. Her work can at times be experimental involving plants, flowering bulbs or in the green, when needed.
Her work has been part of and been recognised in the Royal Bath and West Shows and Taunton Flower Show, the Big Southwest Wedding Fair, to name a few.
Ethos
Aizel started Yalham Hayes with an understanding that strong responsible small businesses can contribute to developing a more resilient, local economy. It is built on sound and regenerative ways of cultivating the soil and growing beautiful, and diverse flower crops, mainly.
With floral artistry at its heart, Yalham Hayes is also a place, a home to Aizel’s family, first and foremost. And, although small, it is a space for community, for artists to create and share.
As we nurture creativity at Yalham Hayes and we connect with each other, we become more positively involved in the bigger, wider communities around us.
