About Us
Tucked away in the heart of Colehayes, our Enchanted Garden is quietly blossoming - and we’re proud to be one of the area’s best-loved, hidden gems. Whether you’re picking up a hand-tied bouquet for someone special, or simply treating yourself to a beautiful bunch, we’re here to make everyday moments just a touch more magical.
We are an independent flower specialist working from a private workshop on the outskirts of Bovey Tracey, providing bespoke florist services to help make any event flourish.
We create wedding flowers, event flowers, one-off bouquets as gifts, small but perfectly formed posies in a selection of beautiful vases, bespoke arrangements and funeral flowers. Flowers and foliage are sourced from our Walled Garden and Cutting Garden wherever possible, which cuts down on cost and of course, the carbon footprint too.
We also offer a flower subscription service to corporate clients and to individuals, which keeps businesses and homes looking fabulous.
As an aside we sell and hire unique props and curios to make your event truly bespoke and stand out from all others.
Need a delivery? We are happy to deliver within a 20 mile radius.
Our workshop is a tranquil, creative and beautiful space to work in but also welcoming for anyone coming for a consultation. You are welcome to visit and tour our beautiful gardens, see what we have to offer, get inspired and discuss your hopes and dreams for that special occasion, be it a wedding, a party, a celebration, table arrangements for a dinner party or a bouquet just for you.
Our passion for flowers translates into stunning bespoke arrangements, brimming with personality and inspired by the English countryside's charm. Whether it's a grand event or an intimate gathering, we craft unforgettable floral statements.

What we do
Subscription Service
We love being invited to provide flowers for clients’ homes. Whether it’s to do floral dressing, designing displays or just providing a regular arrangement. We always try to listen to each and every client’s requirements and provide a selection of hand-tied bouquets and vase arrangements that fit with the surroundings, the owner’s personal style and of course the occasion. A cleverly conceived, beautifully created display can make a powerful statement in any room and become an integral part of the interior scheme. We use both real and faux flowers and foliage for our interior pieces, sometimes together, sometimes individually, combined with an array of vintage vases and containers to create works with character, warmth and startling originality.
Subscribe to Damsel & Fig’s Flower Club - This exclusive service is perfect for those who value luxury and wish to elevate their living space with the timeless beauty of bespoke floral designs.
Entertaining
Flowers are a fundamental part of entertaining. They set the right tone and create the perfect atmosphere but, more importantly, they can make a guest’s experience truly memorable. What could be more wonderful than being welcomed to a dinner-party by a spectacular arrangement in your host’s hallway? Or seeing a perfectly laid table made ravishing with the perfect centrepiece? Or being amazed by a breathtaking floral creation at a fabulous party? We understand that flowers need to be at the heart of entertaining and we can help you achieve the most enchanting effect. Our work is characterised by sophistication, appropriateness for the setting and the occasion, creativity and uniqueness and, of course, a good deal of glamour! We will always make sure that our flowers make for fabulous and, quite simply, divine entertaining! Why not hire a pair of our stunning candelabra to make your table really stand-out?
Hotels & Restaurants
We welcome enquiries from hotels and restaurants looking to add another dimension to their beautiful and unique surroundings. We can provide arrangements for the entrance, reception area, dining tables – whatever the requirement – we have the solution. We are happy to provide vases/containers on loan, or use customers’ own as required. Again we have a range of items to complement any display or setting.
Corporate
We love to make business beautiful. From ballrooms to boardrooms, we aim to add an extra dose of vibrance to your brand with something distinct and descriptive. No matter where business takes you, we can elevate your mission and atmosphere with individual, bespoke designs. Whether you seek simple and elegant, or dramatic and striking, our work can reflect any message you wish to convey.
We create personalised designs, from contemporary to traditional, fitting for any occasion. Let us craft displays that reflect your brand and values, incorporating our extensive range of flowers, indoor plants and curios.
You can also extend the experience to your clients, with custom bouquets created and delivered just for them.
Weddings
From intimate ceremonies to grand celebrations, we design exquisite wedding flowers that reflect your unique style. The hallmarks of our wedding service are finesse, attention to detail and creativity. As well as designing and creating the overall scheme, we pay close attention to little things, like making sure bouquets are comfortable and in perfect proportion, as well as ensuring the scent in each room is captivating but not overpowering.
We also like to ensure there are flowers in unexpected places. Most of all, our wedding floristry is a reflection of the couple as they embark on their life together. Whether it’s a simple decorative scheme that fills a country Church with cow parsley or an explosion of extravagant floral displays, we will always make sure the flowers will be as romantic and emotional as the day itself.
Prop Hire
Our prop hire extends far beyond the usual bunting and chair dressings, with unusual centre-pieces and objects that fit your theme. From French milk churns and hand-carts, exquisite candelabra, urns, statues, figurines, mirrors, pictures, vases and everything in between.
Come and see what we have to offer. If you have something particular in mind, and we don’t have it, we can usually source it for you, so please don’t hesitate to ask.
Curios
We’re not just about flowers (though we do those exceptionally well!). Step inside our workshop and you’ll find a carefully curated selection of lush indoor plants, stylish pots, hand-poured candles, locally designed greeting cards, and plenty of other lovely finds to brighten your day (or even someone else’s!)
Whether you’re a local regular or just discovering us for the first time, we’d love to welcome you. Come and visit Bovey’s best kept secret — where flowers meet feel-good finds.
Sustainability
Locally grown flowers are better for the environment - why use imported flowers that have been flown for miles, lost any scent and often have a poor vase life. By growing flowers locally, we are not only helping to reduce cost (refreshing!) - we are also helping a diversity of insects and wildlife, while making the landscape look beautiful. What’s not to like!
Committed to eco-friendly floristry, we minimise waste and avoid harmful chemicals, nurturing both our flowers and the environment. Flowers are grown without the use of harsh chemicals, and companion planting provides the best conditions for our plants to thrive. We also make our own compost, ensuring that some of what is taken from the flower patch gets put back into the earth.

A final thought …….
Flowers are extraordinary. Their colours, their scent, the way they look, the way they delight the senses and truly captivate us. Flowers make a cold space warm and make a beautiful space spectacular. Flowers help us to express our emotions, make powerful statements of love, generosity, friendship, admiration or indeed sympathy.
For centuries, flowers have graced life’s most meaningful moments, from weddings and the birth of a child to expressions of love and remembrance. These delicate blooms have a unique power to convey emotions that words alone cannot.
Damsel & Fig’s deep understanding of this goes into every arrangement we make. Our unique style is still based on our founding principles - we capture the joy and beauty of the English country garden and turn it into sophisticated, bespoke arrangements and bouquets. Wherever possible we use flowers that represent and respect the current season - after all, they are the freshest and most exciting. We tend to be more experimental than others too, more natural, more generous, thus making our creations somehow different and more eye-catching. Whatever we do, we want every arrangement we create to capture the character and style of the clients we are making them for, so the flowers do the talking and express their personalities and make a statement that is as beautiful as it is memorable.
