Description
Decorate your home, pub, restaurant or even your wedding with our dried hop garlands available for delivery after Harvest time every year. Dried garlands allow you to have a hop garland floral decoration all year round! Using our kilns we preserve our hop bines to a beautiful sage green finish. Our Prepared Dried Hop vines are meticulously crafted by our hop garland florist, Louisa, and trimmed to make hanging much more seamless. Each hop garland measures 1.5-2m in length. Fresh garlands are also available to buy and they dry out over time after being installed and effectively offer both products in one, lasting just as long once dried. Fresh are easier to install compared to dried hop garlands as they are less likely to shed. Delivery of Pre-Harvest Reserve Orders: Your order will be dispatched as soon as the hops are ready in September unless you request a specific delivery date at the time of ordering. Delivery of Post Harvest Orders: While stocks last, orders made from October 1st onwards are dispatched each Monday arriving Tuesday. If you need the hops on a specific date just get in touch during or after placing your order. Once we are out of stock you will have the option to “Reserve Now” to avoid missing out on next seasons harvest. Your reserved dried garland will then be delivered during our next harvest. Each kiln dried hop garland consists of two or three hop stems that have grown up around a naturally produced coir coconut string. Our Prepared Dried Hop Vines are approximately 1.5-2 m long and 20 cm-30 cm wide before being hand picked and dried in our traditional Oast kilns. When they arrive check the condition of your garlands to ensure they have not dried out in transit. If the individual hops reform when gently closed in the palm of your hand, your dried hops are ready to hang immediately! If the individual hops completely shatter when gently closed in the palm of your hand, open the lid wide and leave the hops overnight in a damp dark cellar or garage and they will quickly re-condition.
