Mother’s Day 2021 will be like our new bottled cocktails … limited edition: I.E. – hopefully the last one where we can’t give our mum a big hug, a kiss on the cheek and then take her out for a fancy afternoon tea that sees too much champagne and never enough sandwiches!
But just because we are unable do that this year, doesn’t mean we can’t find other ways to shower her with the love she has always shown us.
Capturing the quintessential powder posy smell that reminds us of the warmth of home, Buck & Birch has teamed up with local floral front-runners East Lothian Flower Farm, to create the must-have Mother’s Day bundle for those in Edinburgh*.
The Say it With Flowers kit (£20, plus £4.95 local delivery) will include a choice of one of mum’s favourite Buck & Birch wildflower inspired cocktails, including Aelder Sour, Dandy Lion, Amarosa Old Fashioned, Thornstar Martini, Espresso Martana or the Atkinson, alongside a mixed pot of flowers bursting with Ranunculus (Amandine) and Anemone.
Each gift set will have pre-sprouted flowers growing in a pot and a leaflet with details on how to care for them.
Debbie Scott from East Lothian Flower Farm explains why this is the perfect natural choice to spoil mum with: “Ranunculus and Anemone are spring flowering and both absolutely gorgeous!
“They are corm grown and if looked after, will flower again the following year; they may look really delicate but are one of the best cut flowers. We will ensure that each pot has 3 or 4 plants, allowing mum to have a beautiful mix of colours for spring and summer garden blooms.”
For those a little further out, or unable to collect, Buck & Birch is also offering a collaborative trio of Limited-Edition Floral Cocktails (£29, plus £4.95 nationwide delivery) that will be the perfect accompaniment to any home-made afternoon tea.
Created in conjunction with @foragedbyfern, the set consists of The Flowering Currant Cosmo, The Blossom Sour and a Burdock Coffee Martini – all light and refreshing with a lingering floral flavour.
So, however you say, ‘I love you, Mum’, make sure you say it with Buck & Birch!
