Happy hump day 🐫 Yesterday was spent humping things around from my current workshop into my new flower studio. There was loads of “stuff”!!!! Thank you to my landlord Chris & friend Dawn for helping me - & to the two random chaps minding their own business getting into their van that I grabbed to help lift a heavy cupboard! 😂🙏🏼I’ve just dumped it all inside and am psyching up the oomph to go and sort it out this weekend. I rather enjoyed driving a big van around and felt a sense of entitlement that I should take priority over other vehicles 😆 although my euphoria was slightly tinged with anxiety about the massive insurance excess 🙈 I have to say I’m relieved it’s all done with the only damage being a bruised knee & a sore back. I don’t have capacity at the moment to do any flowers as everything is packed away but I will let you know when I’m up & running. I am very thrilled to announce that I now have running water in new studio!!!!! This is a big deal & a ✔️ off my bucket list & I cannot wait to get going 🪣 🚰 🤗Thank you to everyone that read my Newsletter & replied with such lovely comments - how wonderful you are ♥️Reminder: Studio Opening Day 4th & 5th March details on website. Everyone welcome (well……..nearly everyone 😀) #newbeginnings #moveonup #highvibe #giddyasakipper
A little video of people and colourful flowers (& some cake) to cheer up your feed🌈
I now have some new workshops planned at my brand new flower studio in Loversall, DN11, South Yorkshire for spring 2023 & I’m offering 10% off for early bird bookings. Just use SPRING23 at the checkout.
There are some lovely workshops around Mother’s Day & Easter & I am also now able to do Friday evening workshops for those that work during the weekdays or have weekend commitment. My flower studio will just be big enough to hold 6 people so it’s ideal to book out as a group, but also fine to come on your own.
If you want to come & have a peep & say hello I’m holding an open day in collaboration with Unique Occasions at Loversall Limited Wedding Open Day on 4th & 5th March. Details are on the website you just need to RSVP. I can’t wait ☺️
What a whirlwind 2022 has been! It’s been a mix of the highest highs & lowest of lows with challenges & transformations, personal growth & new directions for my business. I can see light at the end of the dark abyss I’ve been in & I cannot wait for next year!!! Sign up to my newsletter on the Homepage of my website to follow where 2023 is taking me. ✨💫 Thank you again to those who have supported me this year & who get what I’m trying to achieve by using British flowers & sustainable floristry techniques 🙏🏼♥️✨#thefutureisbright #keepontrucking #happynewyear #flowersmakepeoplehappy #thewildremedy
I’ve had a flash of inspiration & decided to offer garland making on my workshop on Saturday 17th December at All Saints Church, Hooton Pagnell, DN5, South Yorkshire. (it’s about 8 miles from Doncaster, 20 miles from Sheffield & 27 miles from Leeds).
You will make a 2ft garland from beautiful evergreens & add cones, berries & dried materials. The cost is £55 per person & those already booked on to make a wreath can switch to a garland.
If you fancy staying in the village afterwards for lunch I can highly recommend booking a table at @1903_hootonpagnell.
Garland booking is via the website, link in bio.

For anyone wanting to learn how to create sustainable funeral tributes using #britishflowers read on;
I am running a one day course on Monday 3rd October at the stunning venue @hootonpagnellhall. The course is suitable for growers, florists or anyone wishing to create farewell flowers that are kind to the earth & from the heart. It’s going to be a day packed full of practical advice & inspiration. I’ll be taking my beautiful willow coffin made by Sophia @wovenfarewellcoffins so you can get some portfolio shots & @handinhandfunerals will be coming to chat about her work. You will find more details in the link in my bio or send me an email at [email protected] 🌿

Happy Jubilee Bank Holiday! 🇬🇧❤️🇬🇧🤍🇬🇧💙🇬🇧
Hope you have a beautiful day 🥰
This coffin tribute was made up of 9 individual jars of flowers so it can be taken apart & used to decorate the venue & then shared out with the family.
The jars are nestled into a moss base on a biodegradable tray & made up of locally grown flowers mostly from @foxfarmflowersuk, some from the patch & wild buttercups & cow parsley from the hedgerows.
The scent from Kate’s roses & pelargoniums was amazing.

I love Saturdays, & Minnie Ripperton. Did you know she was the mum of actress Maya Rudolph? Tragically she died when just aged 31 & Maya was only 7. Very sad, but how wonderful she left the legacy of her music forever 🎼 ♥️
What are you all up to today? Im busy delivering bunches of love 🌷
Tulips from Smith and Munson 🙏🏼
