Dried Hop Garlands
Dried Hop Garlands are approximately 9 feet in length
and will arrive at your door individually boxed after they were picked from our hop gardens at harvest and then kiln dried to preserve their shape and colour.
If you have not handled hops before, we do recommend ringing us for advice.

How to handle your dried hop garland
Once delivered please follow our instructions carefully.
They have been gleaned from many years of experience, and if followed,
will make arranging the hops much easier.
A dried hop garland is a natural product and has been dried and packed immediately
following harvest. To create a nice even garland, you have to cut and trimmed to fit. The hop garland grows unevenly with more hop flowers on one end than the other.
Remember hops are fragile and should be placed where they can be seen but not touched. As you put your hop garland up, you will make a mess. There will be bits to cut off and petal drop as you handle the garland so always put down a protective covering on the floor
before you start as the lupulin that sheds during handling is extremely difficult
to remove from floors and surfaces. However, once the garland is in situ, it is worth the effort and should not shed of its own accord.
If you would like more advice, please do contact us, particularly if you have not handled hops before.
Lifetime
Hop garlands are traditionally displayed for a year,
and replaced with a new garland each harvest. Direct sunlight will accelerate
colour loss but the hops fade to a soft harvest cream colour gradually
over the year.
