Verde Flower Co. was a business founded and built by my Mum, Caroline Beck in 2016. I joined forces with her during 2020, in the heat, fear, and loss of the covid-19 pandemic.

My name is Roisin, I’m a 31 year old flower grower living in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. By day I’m a co-director for UK Youth for Nature, by early morning, afternoon and evening I am a flower farmer, florist and Nuffield Farming Scholar at Verde Flower Co.

In April 2025, I was fortunate enough to find a new Walled Garden to rent in the heart of Northumberland. I am currently working to establish Verde in this 2.2acre piece of heaven, built in the 1760s.

I am developing my business in a way that aligns with what I want to see from the world, and is climate proofed for the 2 degree warmer world that is on the horizon. This means that whatever stems I use, grow, or sell, are guaranteed to be pesticide, herbicide and fungicide free. My flowers will always be grown in a peat-free medium, and the flower farm centres nature at its heart.
