Garden gathered flowers picked from Riverdale, arranged in an antique urn for a special afternoon tea celebration yesterday.
What a joy to deliver to a client that loves flowers and cake as much as I do. It's the perfect combination, in my opinion!
Floret zinnias feature in this summer urn

This gorgeous photo was generously shared by one of our lovely workshop guests, Julia .
Hannah and I hosted 10 lovely women for a Floral and Photography Workshop.
These days are an inspiration to me always. Warm, generous guests soaking up the opportunity to work with my garden gathered blooms.
Hannah helped everyone with their photography, and there were many light bulb moments as people got to understand features on their phones and cameras.
Thank you.

Spring weather means lots of garden gathered blooms for our weddings and workshop this weekend. Roses are starting to flower, it is always a wonderful time in the garden when the hard slog of pruning starts to reward me!

Grazing dessert bar for A and J by Silas together with our garden gathered blooms.
It tasted every bit as good as it looked!

13/09/2024

The last few months have been a flurry of activities, pruning, mulching, and general maintenance. Long days, exhausting physical work.
The garden is starting to bloom, and these chores will be replaced with the reward of garden gathered blooms for workshops, weddings, and events.
It feels good to begin the creative process again, but first, I am having a few days away to visit the East Coast family.

A wet and windy day forecast tomorrow will see me tidying up in my studio.I haven't had a chance to get in and properly sort the space out after a busy season.
This photo was captured by Hannah a couple of years ago on a very wet late autumn day. There are no flowers to distract me tomorrow from the tidying.

Rose pruning has begun. It will keep Jim and I busy in the coming weeks, along with pruning the orchard and vineyard.
In the evening, a rest in front of the fire with a deliciously scented candle at , as I contemplate the spring rose flush!

Riverdale 1898 This video by @holiiandash, although a couple of years ago, evokes the essence of our settler's cottage available on Airbnb @riverdalefarmalbany . Features Anna @annacameron_celebrant There are still a couple of opportunities to stay and relax in December and January. @thehostingmasterclass

A little snapshot of our garden at Riverdale Farm as I create a wedding bouquet with our sustainable spring home grown blooms. Captured by Holii @inthe.wilds @holiicarmody @holiiandash Wearing a dress made in collaboration with Trish Bygott of @bukeshla . Her divine space in Wray Ave, Fremantle is a delightfully creative space. A conversation about Welsh smocks and smocking...sent me off to find a pattern and spend a couple of quiet days smocking before giving the panels to Trish to add a little shape and detail. Collaboration with fellow creatives is one of the absolute joys of my life. #riverdalefarmalbany #gsweddings #greatsouthernweddings #downsouthwedding #albanyweddings #thealbanycollective #thehostingmasterclass #albanycreatives #downsouthwa #amazingsouthcoast #albanywa #slowstitching #albanyflorist #albanyfloraldesigner #gardentovase #seedtovase #gardengathered #gardeninspired #grownnotflown #locallygrown #farmerflorist #slowflowers #underthefloralspell #realflowersoftheseason #wildgardenstyle #authenticflorals #wildforflowers #localandseasonalflowers #thmwa #smockingdresses
