Meet the Scilly Flowers team
Want to put a face to a name? Here's the who's who of Churchtown Farm.
There are about 18 of us here at the farm all year round. Some people come for 6 months before their next adventure but many of our current team love it here so much they've stayed quite a bit longer. If you think you would enjoy life working on a flower farm on a tiny island then click here for more information.
