Do any of you have ideas for this Christmas wreath themes?

Normally, I try to bring out new wreath designs each year along with some of the past favourites.

Last year we had Christmes/Winter drinks of Cafe Au Lait, Hot Chocolate, Snowball, Mulled Wine oh and a Candy Cane.

Previously, I've had gardens like Sissinghurst, The Royal Garden, The Country Garden and I've had weather ones like The Winter Garden and Misty Mornings.

I like to use beautiful foliages, natural berries, grasses and little decorations.

Now I need to design some more, any suggestions .......?

Thankyou, for all the bookings. I'll update on spaces available on Sunday. I think we all need a festive cheer this year.

Come join us in the 'Old School' with candle light and twinkling lights. This year I'm offering small classes of 8 with a range of seasonal foliages and decorations. I've been growing, drying and foraging for some lovely unusual finds.

Finally, ordered my hardy amnual seeds which I'll sow at the end of September. My list each year gets just a little longer. They'll be grown in an unheated greenhouse.

A lovely evening judging the Floral Arrangements at East Barkwith. It's always wonderful to see people enjoining flowers, arranging them and the community coming together.

I think waterlily Dahlias are my new favourite flower!

All ready for tonight's online class. You'll have to excuse the state of me, it rained and I needed to cut the dead Dahlia heada off to encourage the flowers for next weeks wedding.

Anyway, my PICKED members I'll see you later just off to eat chocolate cake as I missed lunch.

Tonight, I'm teaching how to make a 'Flower Panel' in my online flower club membership which I called 'PICKED'. Well, the full title is PICKED from the garden.

Firstly, I have to fight with the boxes I have accumulated filled with dried flowers. 🌼🌷🌻

I love drying flowers but then box them dreaming of projects. 🤣

I'm sure you relate to this with something in your life.

To all my members I'll see you later. Tina 🌿
