Happy New Year! Yes, we're three weeks in, I know... but it is still January so it does count ๐Ÿ˜†

Thank you for following me. Whether you've been with all the way from the very beginning, joined here, there, somewhere along the way or have recently clicked the follow button, I'm delighted to have you here.

As your florist, here's what you can expect:
โ€ข Beautiful Seasonal British Flowers.
โ€ข Wild, natural, textured floral design inspired by the garden, the countryside and the seasons.
โ€ข Charming, meaningful, sustainable arrangements that appreciate every petal, every pigment, every scent, every bloom, every stage of a flower's life cycle.
โ€ข Designs that embrace the changing seasons and celebrate homegrown, locally grown, British flowers and foliage.

And what do I offer?
โ€ข Naturally beautiful flowers, packed to the brim with personality and soul, for the Home, for Weddings and for Funerals.
โ€ข Every arrangement I make contains 100% British flowers and foliage - ingredients are either grown by myself, by local growers or by British flower farms.
โ€ข During the Spring, Summer and Autumn months I create my signature gift bouquets, bunches and posies.
โ€ข I flower weddings, events and funerals all year round - during the UK growing season, around mid-spring to mid-autumn, I use mostly locally grown and homegrown flowers and foliage. During the winter and out-of-season months my work is predominantly foliage-based, with arrangements containing a selection of fresh and dried ingredients, and stems sourced from larger/commercial british growers based in other parts of the UK.

Where am I?
I'm based in Plaistow, beautiful West Sussex - I cover locations within Sussex, Surrey and Hampshire.

Oh I had a wonderful day at Billingshurst Christmas Fayre this weekend!

This was my first local fayre and it was so good to meet and chat to the other stall holders, local business, charity organisers and lots and lots of locals. Despite the stormy weather outside it was a great turnout.

Thank you so much if you bought one of my fresh wreaths, any of my dried flowers or the other little festive treats I had to offer ๐Ÿ™

Boot, Jumper and Scarf weather - ah that's better, I know where I stand now... no surprise summer day lurking ๐Ÿ˜†

October, in all it's colourful splendor, is the time of year my collection of gift flowers come to an end.

Available for just another couple of weeks (weather dependent), my final Bouquets, Bunches or Posies of the season are always a rich autumnal feast.

So, if you would like beautiful British seasonal flowers to showcase this glorious time of year, let me know!

*Please contact me before placing an order online as my gift flowers are dependent on the availability of locally-grown flowers and whether Jack Frost makes an appearance.

Four years ago I created this beautiful arrangement.

This was my first fully compostable funeral spray and my first funeral arrangement using only British flowers and foliage, for a natural burial - also a first.

Made on a compostable tray, with moss and cucumbers (yes, cucumbers), bound with jute twine, every single ingredient used was fully compostable - designed to break down into the earth naturally, leaving nothing harmful behind.

Without realising it at the time, I was creating the type of farewell flowers that would showcase my funeral work today.

My funeral flowers are created solely with British-grown flowers and foliage. My arrangements are made using products that are kind to the environment - I do not use floral foam or any other single use plastic. It is very important to me that my designs break down into the earth as naturally as possible.

Beautiful, considerate, meaningful farewell arrangements that reflect the seasons, celebrate the ingredients and capture the small details.

Of course, cucumbers as a base are not always suitable, it depends on how and where an arrangement is intended to be displayed and also whether the family wishes to take flowers home with them after the service, but for a natural burial on a warm autumnal day it was the perfect water source, and quite the experiment too.

For more information about my funeral and sympathy flowers please visit Farewells on my website and contact me if you would like to discuss flowers and the floral mechanics I use.

To find florists near you who also offer beautiful plastic-free funeral flowers, visit The Farewell Flowers Directory . Even if you are not looking for funeral flowers, please do pay a visit to the website to learn more about eco-friendly funeral flowers.

Late August on the bench ๐ŸŒฟ

Abelia, Fuschia, Hypericum and Crocosmia, with lime green Jasmine and reddening leaves of Viburnum.

It's a wonderful time of year to enjoy flowers in the home, savouring Summer as the evenings draw in.

This time last year at the allotment ๐ŸŒผ๐Ÿ…

Beds bursting with flowers and rows full of veg.

Missing my buckets full of flowers and our trug full of veg this year!

The vegetable patch is now being enjoyed by someone new, whilst the flower patch is currently a shadow of it's former self. As the remaining flowers finish I'm covering the beds. In the Autumn we will lift the last of the perennial plants and bring them back to the new garden.

Meanwhile, in the new garden - this is the area I plan to create my new flower patch in. Somewhere amongst the bracken, ferns, brambles, stinging nettles, rodgersia, hypericum, tree saplings and ground-covering something or other.

Last week I chopped back the bracken to gauge the potential space available. I planned to start digging up some of the ferns to make a dent - I didn't get very far - we have heavy clay soil. Needless to say the part I cleared still looks the same as it did a week later, other than the addition of new fern fronds and fresh bramble growth ๐ŸŒฟ

It's a stop and start long term project this one ๐Ÿ˜†

The garden table - the current workshop ๐ŸŒฟ

I feel very lucky to have had a workshop at the old house - my own space where I could condition, design, create, find inspiration... surrounded by my vases, jugs, knick-knacks... with everything I needed to hand, behind my beautiful green front door.

Here at the new house I'm currently lacking a dedicated workspace, but I do have a beautiful garden. So I'm enjoying working within it - fresh air and a backdrop of garden delights, with birdsong as my soundtrack. Unless of course it's too hot, too cold or too wet, in which case it'll be the dining table!

With all my things dotted about here, there and everywhere, it can be a little disorganised for the brain sometimes, but one day I will have my own workshop again, somewhere in the garden, and it will be wonderful โ˜บ๏ธ

I wonder what colour the front door will be?!? Or perhaps I'll mix it up...

Last week I had the privilege of creating the most beautiful hand-tied posies for a natural burial.

Bright, colourful, natural British flowers to celebrate the life of a special lady whom, I humbly learnt, lived life to the full, and for her family, to make them smile.

The posies were shared by family and friends at the burial ground and the flowers then scattered.

Just perfect ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

Sweet Williams - an absolute favourite of mine last year.

They were a treat, and actually a wonderful surprise because they looked soooooo weedy for suuuuuch a long time. I was convinced I'd ruined them. And then they kept on giving for months! Oh it was a joy.

My visit to the flower patch this morning reminded me just how happy they made me.

There's a handful of plants that have come back this year which is fabulous, although the bed is patchy now so it won't be quite the show stopper it was last year. Some stems are beginning to flower and they will be celebrated by making their way into an order for next week ๐Ÿ’

I will definitely grow sweet williams in the new garden in the future, they will look amazing here. I just have to get organised to sow them on time. They are biennial so need to be sown May-July for flowering the following year... and I always miss the boat ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ

These guys didn't flower in 2022 as planned because I didn't sow them when I should have (only 5 months late!) - instead, they used the time to beef up and flowered in 2023. A long time coming but soooooo worth the wait.

The plants that remain at the flower patch will move to the garden later this year ๐ŸŒธ

Jolly happy to have unpacked the flower press ๐Ÿฉต

The prettiest little petals living on...

Snippets of a season captured in one and enjoyed in another.

The flowers I press make their way into your arrangements - my notecards, message cards, gift tags that accompany your flowers. Natural beauty preserved and appreciated, a little touch that makes me smile every time, I hope it makes you smile too.

The pressed petals that are damaged or too delicate... well, they end up as beautiful confetti!

Forget-me-nots are my favourite flower to press, shortly followed by Delphinium. Not limited to blue by the way... although I notice there seems to be a theme here ๐Ÿ˜†

Welcome

Hello, Iโ€™m Natalie.

I have always loved surrounding myself with beautiful flowers.

I enjoy seeing them, smelling them, arranging them and giving them to others.

In 2019 I decided it was time to turn my love of flowers into working with flowers.
