Aargh 🤦‍♀️I just don’t know where the last few weeks have gone. It’s been a bit of a flowery whirl with weddings, workshops, wholesale, subscription flowers..and a lighting quick weekend down south with my best people, to visit a couple of gardens that have been on my garden bucket list forever (note to self.. 6.5hr drive =get the train and hire a car next time!)
A slightly quieter, but more difficult week this week, trying to continue clearing my parents house😪 Back to the flowers soon and another beautiful wedding next weekend.

These dollies loving the warm days and the high temps in the greenhouse. Maybe we’ve fooled them into thinking they’re in Mexico after all.

The gals are here. Despite the wasps best efforts.

Can’t believe I didn’t get round to posting these pics of the workshop a couple of weeks ago(where do the days go?) but the weather was gorgeous and everyone went home with their hearts and vases full of flowers. We have two workshops left this season, the August one is fully booked, but there are still 3 spaces on the last one on 21st September. Carve out some me time and come and join us…and if you love dahlias, this one’s for you. All info and booking is on the website. Link in bio.

Waiting patiently in the dappled sunlight for their moment. Soft pastels for Emma and her bridesmaids back in June.

Bronze fennel is such a favourite at this time of year. Tall structural stems, mustardy yellow umbel flower heads that the pollinators love. Feathery bronze leaves and that smokey aromatic liquorice aroma. Looks great in all types of arrangements (here with echinacea, snapdragons, panicum grass scabious and nicotiana) or use the fronds in salads and dressings or chopped over your roasties. Or..save the seed and add them to your breads and biscuits or crush them slightly and make a brew! I mean, what more could you ask of a plant. Oh and it gently self sows itself around which I always love.

Before the big melt..where literally zero is getting done outside at the moment between the hours of 9-8pm and the temps in the greenhouse are off the scale 🥵..but we’re loving this cute little pale lilacy-blue nigella that’s managed to self seed itself all over the place. That’s a win 🤗. It’s actually a good thing to be forced to slow down sometimes…altho could be a struggle to get going again…send ice cream.

Come and join us! It’s a busy month ahead with some gorgeous weddings and our second workshop of the season in the middle of the month. If you fancy coming along and having a little tour of the field, cutting some beautiful flowers and then making an arrangement, there’s a couple of spaces left for your little slice of flower land. We would love to see you 🤗 Link in bio

Up early for the start of the mega cut for this weekends beautiful wedding in Cumbria. Huge thanks to my cutting comrade for prizing herself out of bed and to for letting us loose with the gator (so much fun!)

You’ve got to get in the greenhouse early these days otherwise you turn the colour of these snapdragons and feel like you’re going to expire! Temperatures rocket from about 8am and it’s hard to do anything productive in there after that. So it’s early starts for cutting, clearing beds and planting at the moment. Think swedish sauna without the plunge pool 🥵
