Like so many winter flowers, anemone are best enjoyed close up. That way you can enjoy their winks and smiles all the better. Hands down one of the most fun flowers to keep you company at your desk. We’ll have anemones on Sunday in our bunches or you can treat yourself to a single stem. Gentle entertainment guaranteed. 😊

Five years ago my step mum passed away suddenly. Snowdrops were amongst her favourite plants in her meticulously stocked and tended garden. Although her snowdrops appeared in a northern hemisphere winter it seems symbolic that they are flowering here in the southern hemisphere right now as I remember her especially. Signs of spring are everywhere so I’m making the most of this period of wintering to rest and relax. Pottering on with chores at a peaceful pace. It may not be warm but it’s still bliss.

Seems I blink these days and another week has passed. So I daren’t close my eyes for fear of missing this winters snowdrops. Each year there are a few more and I make a mental note to dig and divide them to spread them around. Truth is I love this tiny floral enclave snuggled at the edges of the front garden doing their own thing. I have one in a pot I can enjoy close up, it’s just arrived after the long hibernation just as the garden residents are at their peak. I might snip a couple for my teeny tiny vase. To sit on my desk. Snowdrops three ways. What a treat as the recent southerly blast reminds us it’s still winter. ❄️🥶

The glow of autumn is upon us in the most magical way. Gentle kisses of sunshine worth savouring. Being part of nature poetry experience is teaching me the power of quiet observation. Not just slowing down to appreciate what’s around you but standing still. You won’t find we stopped for long as we start to bustle with preparations for spring crops but the daily practice really does promote poetic thoughts even if actually writing poetry doesn’t happen. If summer is about heat, autumn is about light. The lure of shadows and insects after dark descends. If you’re feeling the burn of summer’s hustle now is the perfect time it allow the balm of autumn soothe you. It’s truly the bitter sweet ending to our growing season. So much to relish.

Affording fabulous flowers for your wedding isn’t as hard as most people think. We specialise in supplying flowers for people to do their own arrangements and leave wearables to us. It all starts with colours- those you love from what’s best at that time of the season. Last week the brief was late summer - a light touch of autumn with a sprinkling of summer glow . We went heavy on dahlias from and as they are still stealing the show right now supported by the wild ones from the garden. Seeing how our flowers are transformed by clever and creative folks makes every attention to detail we give to help them bring their ideas alive is such a joy. Every wedding is deserves the best blooms and we’re proud to make them available working with our friends whatever your budget and your imagination. 💕

Sometimes people come into your life you never knew you needed. These can be folks who go onto be friends or just passing acquaintances you may never meet again. This past weekend we welcome these kind of special humans who wandered the garden, had fun with flowers and sat on our crispy grass enjoying morning tea. But the rewards of hosting run deeper for me because of the kindness, curiosity and connections made. I shall be forever touched by the regifting of a conker from our own horse chestnut tree, the fun of making string zip ties for bouquets, seeing a toddler wobble around grasping a windfall apple and a baby mesmerised by nature. Conversations started about creative collaborations and sparked inspiration about amazing women who also run businesses. Tips and tricks were swopped for dealing with gorse, bindweed, sad roses and misbehaving dahlias. Seeds were shared and a love of gardens and flowers. It was a beautiful occasion in the finest company. Thank you to everyone who came and left with the happiest of smiles grasping flowers, plants, seeds and hopefully a few of your own special memories. 😊
