    Taylors Bulbs: £19M in Wholesale Bulb Brand Growing Through Education

    How do you market a product that looks like a plain brown root today, requires a six-month waiting period before the customer sees the final result, and relies almost entirely on physical B2B retail channels?In this episode of Grow with Evergreen, Aaron and Darren catch up with Ian and Charlotte from Taylors Bulbs, a remarkable fourth-generation, £19 million UK agricultural and horticultural legacy brand. While they run a small direct-to-consumer ecommerce operation, their bread and butter is supplying the nation's premier garden centres, high-street retailers, and supermarkets.Ian and Charlotte share an exclusive look at how a traditional wholesale titan manages to bridge the gap between B2B distribution and consumer desire.

    How Bunches are building a £20M flower brand

    In this episode of Grow with Evergreen, we sit down with Dan Sinnott, Head of Marketing at Bunches, a heritage floristry brand that has blossomed from a 1989 Mansfield market stall into a £20 million turnover powerhouse. Dan shares how Bunches is navigating the “death of traditional search” and skyrocketing acquisition costs by shifting their focus from cold automation to human-centric brand building. We dive deep into their strategy to reach £20 million in turnover, including their move toward AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) and the importance of “customer cuddles”. In this episode, you’ll learn about the evolution of a legacy brand, how Bunches transitioned from post office orders to a digital-first e-commerce leader. AEO vs. SEO, why the “zero-click crisis” is changing how brands must format content to be cited by AI like Gemini and ChatGPT and How Bunches balances People, Personality, and Product to avoid competing on price alone. Darren and Aaron also talk about our newest marketing report, the Outdoor Living Report, featuring the latest buyer behaviour shifts and trends for 2026 and 2027.
