Swallows and Damsons was recently founded by Anna Potter, who followed a degree in Fine Art at Sheffield Hallam University by working as a Senior Floral Designer in two of Sheffield’s leading florists. Anna has a passion for both vintage glamour, rustic styles and is determined to bring something distinctive to Sheffield.

“I’m uninspired by minimal, tropical flower displays that you find in bland hotel receptions and soulless offices, they’re boring and a bit pretentious. I’d like to be given a modern classic bouquet that reminds you a little bit of your Grandma!”

We love the romance of cottage garden flowers, adventures, ice cream, brown paper, tea, cake, dressing up, dancing in the kitchen and children’s books.
