No 1 Wreath Workshop, from scratch, these girls worked very hard! Here is Sophie's beautiful wreath, how gorgeous it looks on her blue door!

It's officially Wreath Season! I delivered to the lovely Sam White of Secret Escape, Hair Stylist at Clopton Farm today, the family home and other businesses are situated in a great spot with farm and exotic animals, it's a far cry from having a hair cut in Cambridge! No trying to beat traffic and park....Sam is a very experienced and talented hair stylist so call the number on the door! (Excuse my ghostly presence in the background!)

I don't know why British flower farmers don't grow more chrysanthemums, there are so many varieties, colours and types! And they should be the mainstay at the end of the season!
They seem pretty hardy, no flowers last as long in centrally heated homes, my customer placed this vase on a table close to a window, which is a double whammy for flower longevity.....
Wreaths can last for many weeks, even through ice and frost, depending on the ingredients used...some of my customers put them in the garden for the birds once done for Christmas.
You will need to water or spritz your wreath if it gets dry, (water sparingly from the back, spritz from the front) when the weather is damp it will be fine unless strong winds dry it out!
I'm taking orders for wreaths, made to order with colours of your choice! Leave a message here or email [email protected].

More lovely chrysanthemums from
This is for my front door, mainly as an experiment to see how it holds up.....well it's had a good soak now!
How long will it last with a small porch roof but open to the elements??
I think the chrysanths will start to lose their petals in a couple of days but it will mostly be intact at the weekend.....of course it depends entirely on the great british weather!
As soon as a flower is cut from the mother plant basically it begins to die....if it is placed straight in water and allowed to condition in peace and quiet away from direct sunlight, it stands a chance of surviving.
I wonder which type of flower lasts the longest out of water?!

Different angles different looks....
Last of the chrysanthemums this year from .Love the bronzes, pinky/reds and burgundy tones with a splash of zesty lime/lemon!
I will be continuing through winter, as usual, using Cornish wholesalers. Sadly the prices have gone up, as has everything else! The scented narcissi are back, along with anemones, kafirs and tulips are just starting.Lots of wreathing and wreaths made by me with fresh and dried flowers,grasses etc.... early ordering is good for me!

A small miracle happened this week! I found some British grown flowers, local! In November?! The wonderful Peta , what a great discovery! She even met me halfway to pick up!
Love these spider chrysanthemums, ranging from acid green/yellow, through bronzish red to pinish burgundy!
Now, chrysanthemums get a bad press apparently, so let's stop the discrimination! They are incredible flowers! Variable sizes , shapes and huge colour variation. They flower into late autumn/early winter and are incredibly hardy. As a British only florist ANY flowers grown locally are an absolute wonder! I have never managed to get hold of any before, but I think they are slowly gaining popularity......👍

Ugh this is starting to feel like the trump effect. Local groups have been campaigning for years, I always hoped that this ridiculous plan would not reach fruition......but it's getting way too close for comfort. Environmentally friendly? I think not! Economically friendly to local government? I don't think so! It will cost billions for a journey improved by only 3 mins on average..... but
All those habitats will be gone forever, the animals and insects will not hang around! no lush green fields and our village peace will be shattered.....criminal....
It may make a difference to sign the petition , you gotta try! www.cotonbuswayaction.com

Had to make a starter to get my hand in ready for the imminent wreath season! I used bits from my garden, and from a friend's, with a few dried helichrysum.
It looks kinda fruity rather than autumnal!
Game changer, don't know why I didn't use a wreath hook before, so much easier to see how it hangs as you go along....,🤔🙄

A throwback to '23, I made this wild one for myself but unfortunately within days it was destroyed by the gales! Big is not necessarily best! Also too many traily bits look nice but can not withstand high winds. Outdoor wreaths need to be more compact! Lesson learned.....

Been in a bit of a funk lately, creative and personal, (it happens!) so what better antidote than to go through Gabby and Calum's wedding photos by ! love these little snippets that capture the natural vibe. (Gabby greeting her bibi just before the ceremony, before walking down the aisle to get her man! A few of the many table flowers and a delicate ethereal shot of the bridal bouquet)
P.S Very special thanks to my son in law , and also .For transporting me and my flowers!

A special birthday bouquet for a lady who is very special to her family, I'm sure she had a great day with them......
Family can be far apart in different parts of the country, even the world! We may not see them often but they are still very important to us, so when they do get together it's even more special!

My granddaughter came with me to a PYO Dahlia field and picked her own bunch, I think she did really well with her colour palette and texture! And she is only 8! ❤️

Just had to share this lovely photo of my beautiful girl! She is taking a short walk to the registry office with the bridesmaids, to get married-looking very happy! I managed to incorporate her colours and her favourite flowers into her bouquet, it was a labour of love 💕

Please forgive the unprofessional photography! Better will follow. Just a few snaps of my daughters wedding this weekend, of course I provided the flowers! (Special thanks to Fiona of for supplying such a gorgeous variety of flowers)It's difficult to capture them in situ, but it gives an idea. The bride and groom worked hard to give clever little details for the venue which gave a lovely handcrafted feel. The last pic is obviously the bride before removing her veil, she looked beautiful in simple splendour! Haaaa and now it's all over but it was a truly lovely day!
