Capturing Beauty - The Story Of Our Geranium Collections
In a beautiful ode to our founder’s favourite plant - our exclusive new geranium collections are inspired by Carole Bamford’s enduring passion for the scent and beauty of geraniums and pelargoniums.
“I have loved geraniums and pelargoniums all my life and have a collection of over 110 different varieties in the glasshouse in my garden. It’s an incredibly nostalgic fragrance for me. The smell of home, nature and family.”
Our Geranium Tabletop Collection launches at the Chelsea Flower Show 2025, alongside the home fragrance Glasshouse Collection by our sister brand, Bamford. Together they bring the natural beauty of geraniums to scent and decorate the home.
How our tabletop collection flourished
Our limited-edition tabletop collection started with a hand-drawn pencil sketch, capturing the delicate shapes of geranium leaves. These were filled in with varying shades of green; a favourite tone of Carole Bamford’s, symbolising nature and her love of dressing a table with seasonal greenery and fresh foliage. The final designs - all exclusive to Daylesford - were then brought to life by a hand-picked selection of global artisans, each specialising in their own medium.
From table linen with an exquisitely embroidered edge to charming hand-stamped ceramics - tumbling geranium leaves unite this timeless collection which includes a parasol and cushions for gently co-ordinated elegance and comfort. Each piece has been crafted with quality and sustainability in mind.
We thrive outside
In celebration of our new collections, our farmshops in the Cotswolds and on the Pimlico Road are brimming with geraniums this summer. Reflecting our philosophy that ‘we thrive outside’ our sites are decorated with these uplifting, restorative plants connecting us to the soil, the season and the joy we find in bringing nature into our homes.
Hand painted by our in-house illustrator, pelargonium and geranium leaves amble up the exteriors of our Pimlico and Cotswolds stores to greet visitors. Inside, a geranium takeover awaits.
An immersive experience
Our green Michelin star restaurant and cafés on our Cotswold farm and our Pimlico café - a stone’s throw from RHS Chelsea Flower Show - are ensconced in geraniums. Enjoy dining al fresco beneath huge parasols decorated with our geranium motifs. Our Geranium Tabletop Collection crafted by artisans from around the world – is the centrepiece of ourimmersive Geranium Room, where beautiful table linen sits alongside home fragrance.
The sweet, floral taste of geranium can also be found in our farmshops. Discover rhubarb and geranium sorbet at our pop-up ice cream shops in our Pimlico Road and Cotswold farm shops, as well as our Rhubarb and Geranium preserve; hand made on our farm in small batches for a limited edition run.
Outside, our Garden space and Potting Shed on our Cotswold farm host a variety of potted geraniums and pelargoniums, their fragrant scents, range of petal shapes and colours nestle alongside a range of seasonal plants, flowers and herbs.
Celebrating our anniversary
This exciting new Daylesford launch also marks the 20th anniversary of Bamford’s signature Geranium fragrance. Whilst the Geranium Tabletop Collection features designs based on five of her favourite species of geranium, Bamford celebrates with the Glasshouse Collection; four new scents based on highly fragrant varieties.
