The inspiration for all of Peony Faux Flowers comes from the Ruckley Estate. Nestled deep in the Shropshire countryside, looking out towards the hills of the Welsh borders. This delightful 1,500 acre country estate, with its lakes, waterfalls, forestry and farmland, is home to Peony founder Julie Bates and family, who live there alongside a host of peacocks, swans and guinea fowl.
