August Newsletter
|
Hello again, As the evenings begin to draw in and autumn starts to make its return, I wanted to take a moment to welcome you to our latest Millers newsletter. It's certainly been another busy few months here on the farm, and I'm excited to share some of the things we've been working on behind the scenes. In this edition, you'll find details of our ever-popular Christmas Wreath Workshops, an update on our new coffee hatch, our plans for this year's Royton Scarecrow Festival, and news of our annual Macmillan Coffee Morning, which is always a very special event for us. As always, I'd like to thank each and every one of you for your continued support. Whether you've visited us recently, ordered flowers for a loved one, attended one of our workshops or simply enjoy following our journey, we genuinely appreciate you being part of the Millers family. I hope you enjoy this edition, and I look forward to welcoming you to the farm very soon. Best wishes, Barbara

They're officially returning... and if previous years are anything to go by, they won't be around for long.
Our Christmas wreath workshops have been incredibly popular over the last few years, and we've already had customers ringing to ask when bookings will open. To give everyone the best experience, each workshop is limited to just 8 people, so we expect places to sell out quickly.

MacMillian Coffee morning
Join us once again as we proudly host our Macmillan Coffee Morning, a cause that is especially close to our hearts.
Every year we come together in loving memory of our wonderful Judith, raising money to support the incredible work of Macmillan Cancer Support. It's always a fantastic morning filled with homemade cakes, fresh coffee, plenty of laughs and, most importantly, an opportunity to support a truly worthwhile cause.
Macmillan's Coffee Morning is the charity's biggest annual fundraising event, helping to provide practical, emotional and financial support to the millions of people across the UK living with cancer.
Date of event: 25/10/26
☕ Something's Brewing at Millers...
If you've been following us over the last few months, you'll know we've been quietly working on something a little different...
Our Millers Coffee Hatch is getting closer, and while we're not quite ready to open the shutters just yet, we're making great progress behind the scenes. We've been tasting coffees, fine-tuning our menu and putting the finishing touches together to make sure everything is just right before we welcome our first customers.
We can't wait to offer freshly ground barista coffee, speciality teas and delicious homemade cakes, all served from our beautiful farm setting—the perfect place to enjoy a coffee while browsing the flowers or catching up with friends.
We're keeping the opening date under wraps for now, but one thing's for sure... it won't be long!
☕ Keep an eye on our Facebook page and future newsletters—you'll be the first to know when we're ready to open. We have a feeling you'll love what's coming!
🌾 Royton Scarecrow Festival Returns!
One of our favourite community events is back!
The Royton Scarecrow Festival returns from 18th October – 1st November, and we're delighted to be taking part once again. Every year it's wonderful to see Royton transformed with hundreds of imaginative scarecrows, bringing families together and creating a fantastic community atmosphere.
Over the years we've had great fun creating our own entries, including last year's Luke Littler-inspired scarecrow, and we can't wait to see what this year's festival has in store!
But first... we need your help!
💡 What should our 2026 scarecrow be?
Whether it's a famous film character, TV personality, sporting icon, festive favourite or something completely unique, we'd love to hear your ideas. Pop into the shop, send us a message on Facebook or Instagram, or tell us next time you're visiting.
If we choose your idea, we'll give you a special mention on our social media—and, of course, you'll have the satisfaction of seeing your creation come to life!
We'll be sharing updates as our scarecrow starts to take shape, so keep an eye on our Facebook page. We can't wait to be part of another fantastic Royton Scarecrow Festival and hope to see you there!
Worlds biggest flowers market
🌍 Did You Know?
Ever wondered where many of the world's fresh flowers begin their journey?
We recently watched a fascinating documentary exploring the incredible flower auctions in the Netherlands—the world's largest flower marketplace. Every day, millions of stems are carefully graded, traded and distributed to florists across Europe within just a matter of hours, ensuring flowers arrive as fresh as possible.
It's a wonderful reminder of the care, craftsmanship and logistics behind every bouquet, and why fresh, quality flowers make all the difference.

As a family-run business, we're passionate about supporting other local independent businesses wherever we can.
From the beautiful handcrafted jugs we use to create many of our floral arrangements, to the delicious homemade cupcakes that can be added to your bouquet for that extra special surprise, we're proud to work alongside talented local businesses that share our passion for quality and craftsmanship.
Shopping locally helps keep our community thriving, and we're always delighted to recommend businesses that we know and trust.
🏺 Jo's Craft Shed
