I realised this year why I end up weeding so many sycamore seedlings out of my garden; their little helicopter seed pods develop in clumps, so one local tree can produce a LOT of seedlings!

How gorgeous are the colours on these tiny boomerangs though? These beauties are dangling in Arthur Newbery Park. Take a look upwards when you’re out and about.

Feel free to DM me your finds, I love seeing natural treasures!

That scent is unignorable.
Those coloured frills - adorable!
Short stems that scramble high
To bloom in line with human eye.
The more we cut from different places
The more flowers dance towards our faces
How incredibly lucky are we
To have and hold a sweet pea?

Where did those garden cuttings from my last video end up?

Ideas for making a posey with your garden gathered ingredients:
🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 Lay out ingredients in groups of similar type and size
🧵 Cut twine at the start (while you have 2 hands!)
🌻 Start with your biggest flower
⭕️ Turn your posey as you add stems (for even coverage)
🤏 Add short stems at the edges
💪 Tie tightly!
✂️ Cut stem ends individually at a steep angle and place in clean water

I would love to hear how you get on with your unique creation! Send me any pictures, feedback or questions.

Curiosity blooms 💚💐🐓

Tips for scouting your garden for posey ingredients:

🕵️‍♀️ Look closely. Something I hear so often is “there’s nothing to use in my garden.” That may seem true at first glance but put your beauty binoculars on and take in the details. There is always something worth your attention.

💐 Cast aside any idea of what your finished posey might look like. Approach your garden with curiosity and see what you are drawn to. Is it a certain colour? A texture? Shape? Scent?

🌱Consider the impact on your garden. Is this plant mature enough to withstand being cut? Would you miss this stem if it was removed from that position? Would you rather enjoy it inside for a short time or watch it run its full life cycle in the garden? Curiosity blooms.

I love the process of conditioning flowers. Handling every stem, feeling its weight and shape and filing the floral families is a time full of anticipation and inspiration. For me it is equal parts contemplation and excitement, as my instinct kicks in for where each stem might be happiest in the vase or bouquet. Curiosity blooms.

How does it feel holding flowers in your fingers?

The side structures are made from branches of a felled tree here at Mapledurham Estate. The circles and bows are formed from weaving responsibly foraged ivy, wild clematis and bay from Tilehurst. These soft curves are a nod to the spheres of mistletoe in the mature tree that could be seen beyond the tipi, as well as the round wheel of Mapledurham’s historic watermill. Water is the main theme of this design. True blue flowers are rare, so as well as their colour having long been linked with water, they are included here to draw attention to the preciousness of fresh water and our fortune at being so close to the river. The variety of soft blues and lilacs symbolise a calm body of water, while the white elements of fresh ranunculus and dried statice represent the energetic bubbling of a stream and the crashing crest of waves. The deep purple ranunculus are symbolic of the mysteries of the deep. The bridal bouquets flow out of their vases and the tentacled dried nigella heads reaching out of the centrepiece celebrate the weird and wonderful creatures who live below the surface.

Spiralling fleshy stems like tulips, ranunculus and daffodils means you can make a beautiful bouquet without squashing their stems so you can enjoy them for longer.

Whether ranging in a vase or in your hand, position all the stems in the same direction so they support each other without any casualties. And don’t worry if you end up swearing at them, it’s one of the simplest looking floristry techniques that is one of the hardest to learn!
