ENGLISH HERITAGE
In the spring of 2023 we were contacted by English Heritage about supplying 5000 cut flower dahlias to recreate the spectacle of the Stonehenge dahlia shows of the 1800s. We provided the dahlia flowers for 8 floral sculptures, including a giant trilithon and were responsible for also supplying 500 dahlia plants to create a 'pop up' dahlia meadow at the site’s replica neolithic village.

It was an absolute delight working with Dahlia Beach on the first Stonehenge dahlia show in 180 years! Andi’s enthusiasm, creativity and ideas, and her eye for detail made everything exciting, fun and easy. The quality of the dahlias was perfect, and Andi helped us create a fantastic and incredibly impactful display that our visitors absolutely loved. She also has bucketloads of energy, which helps when cutting and carting 5000 dahlias around!!
'ITV Alan Titchmarsh Love Your Weekend'
In September 2023 we were visited by the production team on ITV Love Your Weekend with Allan Titchmarsh. They were keen to explore our story of starting again since losing a business in Covid and the episode was viewed by an audience of over 3 million. Watch the video below.
