Send flowers to Whimple, Devon

Flower Delivery to Devon by Clare Florist

What's not to love about Devon? Its economy is closely linked with tourism thanks to the bountiful beauty of its natural landscapes. From the national parks in Dartmoor and Exmoor to the coasts, there's something for everyone who wants to spend a holiday to get relaxed and rejuvenated.

The county also features several gardens which are open to the public. So, if you want to see lots of flowers in Devon, there are many green spaces to choose from.

The name of Devon is derived from “Dumnonia” which was the homeland of the Dumnonii Celts during the British Iron Age and Roman Britain. When the Anglo Saxons occupied Britain during the eighth and ninth centuries, Dumnonia was partially assimilated into the Kingdom of Wessex.

Devon was largely absorbed into Wessex by the mid-19th century. The county was also featured in several – if in fact, most – civil conflicts that occurred in England since the Norman Conquest. Devon has been witness to the Wars of the Roses, Perkin Warbeck's rising in 1497, the Prayer Book Rebellion in 1549, and the English Civil War.

Gardens & Green Spaces

Buckfast Abbey – Here, you get to see different kinds of Devon flowers depending on what time of year you visit. The gardens are separated into distinct regions such as the lavender garden, sensory, and psychic garden.

Flete House – This is a Grade I listed country house at Holbeton in the South Hams district of Devon. The Mothecombe Gardens lie at the mouth of the Erme estuary and is a site to see such lovely blooms in the spring.

Rosemoor RHS Garden – Created by Lady Anne Palmer, this is an internationally renowned collection of gardens in North Devon. The highlights of the garden include the Rose Garden with about 2000 roses; the Arboretum; the Herb, Fruit, and Vegetable Gardens; and the Alpine House.

A 2002 campaign by Plantlife called on the public to choose the wildflower which best represented their county. The people of Devon chose the interestingly named 'Primula vulgaris,' more commonly referred to as the Primrose.

Given the rural feel of Devon, it makes a good place to spend a romantic holiday with your partner. You can send flowers to Devon to start off the getaway, then whisk them off to the moors for a romantic walk, then finish off the day with a good hearty meal. Other than that, there are also theme parks, wildlife, and lots more to choose from.
