Elderflower harvest: May 20–late June

Spring 26 Eau de Parfum is a limited seasonal fragrance built around floral broom, creamy tuberose and green petitgrain. Wear it when spring should feel bright, botanical and alive on skin: hedgerow green at first, white blossom through the middle, and soft wooded warmth underneath.
Spring release: equinox to summer solstice
Full of Beans turns the legume family into a Chelsea entrance moment: sweet peas, lupins, beans, produce, living plants and vines shaped into graphic botanical movement.

Available May 6 – Jul 6

Flowering Maturity Peony Plants are established Primrose Hall plants ready to settle into a border, terrace pot or cutting garden with more assurance than young divisions.

Peony flowering and dispatch season: April–June
Old Garden Roses bring Stokesay's walled-garden abundance into vases, tables and installations without the stiffness of imported florist roses.

London bloom relevance: mid-May–July
Wye Valley Asparagus is a short-season British spring serve: hand-cut, chilled fast, and best cooked quickly while the spears still hold snap. Boil, steam, roast or char briefly, then finish simply with butter, lemon, eggs, hollandaise or new potatoes.
British asparagus peak: St George's Day–Summer Solstice
Pine Resin Vessels turn tree bark extract into translucent contemporary craft. Paper, charcoal and plant-based pigments give the resin fibre, smoke, opacity and warmth, making each object read as vessel, surface study and proof that natural materials can challenge petroleum-led design language.
TOAST New Makers launch: May 7; London Craft Week: May 11–17
