The team of dedicated, artisanal florists at The Bloom Factory have the knowledge, experience and expertise to provide flowers, bouquets or arrangements for any occasion and with a same day delivery service are confident that no customer will be left in the lurch. They are passionate not only about flowers, but also the town and region they call home, and find inspiration in their surroundings. By sharing a brief history of the area they call home, and the stunning natural surroundings of the area, our team of florists believe that they can inspire others, too.
Situated in East Sussex, Eastbourne is a town and seaside resort with a population in excess of 100,000 and is still growing, with the average age of the town decreasing due to an increase in students, families and commuters to London and Brighton. Although it is a relatively new town, being created from four separate hamlets in 1859 by the 7th Duke of Devonshire William Cavendish, there is evidence of human habitation in the area dating from the Stone Age. Henry Currey was appointed to design a street plan for the new town, and he was first sent to Europe for inspiration, the result is in an interesting mix of typically Victorian architecture that still dominates the town. Eastbourne derives the majority of its income from tourism and this traditional revenue stream has been augmented in recent years by conferences, cultural sightseeing and public events.
As a resort town, Eastbourne is home to numerous parks and gardens, in addition to numerous smaller open spaces including the Western Lawns, Upperton Gardens and the Carpet Gardens, not to mention Beachy Head which is the highest chalk sea cliff in Great Britain and is home to many fossils including nautilus and ammonites. An interesting, and little known fact about Beach Head is that the ashes of the German philosopher and social scientist, Friedrich Engels were scattered off the cliffs here into the Channel at his request.
Seaford Head Nature Reserve is contiguous with Beachy Head and is home to many nationally rare flowers, birds and insects, and it also forms part of the heritage Coast with Seven Sisters Country Park. Situated where the South Downs meets the sea, this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty was created when ancient rivers cut into the chalk.
Willngdon Down is part of a Neolithic causewayed enclosure and is a Scheduled Monument. It is also a 167 acre SSI and a species rich chalk grassland, which is a nationally uncommon habitat. Flowers such as the bee orchid, burnt orchid, green winded orchid and round headed rampion are found in abundance here, along with rare grass species like sheep’s fescue and upright brome. It is not uncommon to see aspiring florists in the area finding inspiration.
Pevensey Marshes is another nature reserve on Eastbourne’s doorstep and is a large low lying area of wet grassland with numerous ditches and pools. Over 3,500 hectares of the site is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest due to the presence of rare aquatic flowers and insects like the water spider. The site was historically drained to allow agriculture to flourish, however the area is now kept as wet as possible to support the stunning flowers and wildlife to thrive. Local farms provide cattle to graze through summer and winter keeping the grass at a level suitable for wildfowl and waders.
With such an amazing array of flora and fauna in the area, it is no wonder our florists are confident in their abilities. Our knowledgeable and experienced florists have the expertise to provide ant floral design requested.

Great service, even under the lockdown restrictions! I was looking to replicate my wife’s wedding bouquet as we celebrate our 20th anniversary. The replica was great, looked amazing, delivered early on the required day, and were greatly appreciated! What more could you ask?

My nephew e-mailed to me a picture of the autumnal basket I had chosen for my brother-in-law’s funeral and I thought it looked lovely. Thank you very much. Vivienne Taylor
