Green Feather Flowers

…locally grown cypress, buddleia, pampas, nigella, fennel, poppy, senecio & hydrangea.

Doesn’t have quite the same musical rhythm to it but I do love getting creative with what nature’s offering up for festive decoration ✨🤍😍🎄✨✨

Some spots still available to come and learn with me at the stunning next week, visit my website for more info and bookings via the link in my bio 🎄

“It’s a hula hoop!”
“Where’s my other arm band?!”
“I’m wearing my swimming hat.”

And there was me thinking I’d made wreath bases for my upcoming seasonal workshops 🤷🏽‍♀️😂

Beautiful blue sky for foraging and conditioning foliage this morning ahead of a wonderful wreath workshop this weekend! And the best commute for cutting… all the way to my back garden.

This design truly shows our seasonal shift from Autumn to Winter. Some familiar late summer blooms are included , but notice that the stems are thinner and less robust at this point. I have included extra stems to give the bouquet longevity. This comes from foliage gathered in one of my Tilehurst cutting gardens. The abelia is at my favourite stage; the flowers have vacated, leaving the dusky red sepals which will last for weeks in or out of water. The viburnum is just starting to flower, so although the white petals are scarce, I couldn’t resist including clusters of the closed red buds. Even when they aren’t ready to open, I find their buoyant heads full of promise. Curiosity blooms.

Festive foraging note: please be aware that in the UK you are NOT permitted to remove moss from public spaces.

Yes, it’s a beautiful, tactile ingredient.
Yes, it is popular for use in homemade wreaths at this time of year.
Yes, you are allowed to use it from your own private residence.

Florists will (hopefully!) be sourcing from sustainable, registered moss suppliers for any that is given to you at workshops.

There are a few spaces left on my wreathmaking workshops (link in bio) where I’ll be teaching a moss-free method.

I’ll post later in the week with some tips for making your own wreaths that are more jolly, less legislative!

Curiosity blooms.

Some of glamorous tasks my hands undertake in the creation of my beloved subscription bouquets. From driving the dust-mobile to clearing the breakfast dishes and toddler artwork from my studio space…

Inspiration on a soggy walk back from pre-school drop-off. I’d love to hear what you see in these pictures. Or how they influence your latest creative project.

Curiosity blooms. I only parked up to buy some muesli, but I can’t stop the plants from whispering to me 😂

I had so much fun speaking to on BBC Radio Berkshire about finding beauty in unexpected places! If you missed my excited squeaky voice on October 23rd, you can listen for 2 more weeks on BBC Sounds, The Kirsten O’Brien Show, 1 hour 10mins in. Link in bio for the technically challenged like me!

Thank you to Aoife for finding me, Alex and the team for being so incredible welcoming, interested and complimentary. Working locally is so important to me, this was a really special conversation to have.
