Did you know that a hand full of NZ Wool Mulch improves soil porosity and optimum root growth in your pot plants?
Also 500g is enough to mix in with 10kg of potting mix.
These pellets are made from 100% untreated NZ sheep wool and will help feed, protect, enrich and grow your plants. (Repost)

Visiting Cork and the English Market I happened upon these beautiful bunches of wild flowers for sale. I know the weather has been completely rubbish back home but the hedgerows are full of all the things we love about summer and can’t wait for our local flower farms to provide all the beautiful treats.

A little bit of colour to brighten these winter days.
Tulips whilst fragile in nature are truly magical.
Take a moment to admire the palette of colours around the petal edge and deep into the stamen as the petals open wide.
Give the gift of a simple bunch of tulips to bring cheer to their day

I’m off!! (With Mr Flower Crate in tow)✈️🇮🇪
Headed for the Emerald Isles to see our son
Needless to say we haven’t seen him since the C shook the world.
Excitement doesn’t come close to what we’re feeling & emotional overwhelment at the thought of that first hug
I leave the shop in the very capable hands of Grace, Thomas, Phoebe & Sarah who will continue to create bouquets and tend plants and wrap your gifts.
They will be a pair of hands down so please show patience and kindness as always.

Winter always seems to be a time that our trees and gardens go into a dormancy building themselves for the coming season. Flower choices decrease and we miss the variety summer brings - and then like a ray of sunshine the orchids appear, bringing rich tones and beauty in every flower.
