Happy new years eve everyone. I've absolutely loved eating far too much cheese, watching movies, and lots of walks, but the field is calling me. I want to get stuck into clearing beds, and everything next year throws at me.
I want to say thank you to everyone who's been there for me in 2024 I can't wait to share 2025 with you all, so much in the pipeline but mainly it's about growing some seriously jaw dropping flowers. I've sourced some beautiful seed varieties and colours this year, I've also culled a lot of perennials that just don't give the wow factor, lots more dahlias and more beds going in, not to mention the workshop which is just a shell until we can drive into the field again.
I can't wait to meet and work with lots more brides and create some memories to last a lifetime.

I hope everyone enjoys the next couple of days with whatever you are doing, nights out, or pj's and a movie, and I will see you all in 2025

My last few table decorations were delivered today, I absolutely love creating beautiful orders for my customers, I made a matching wreath, which I delivered a couple of weeks ago to go with these.
I know I haven't used the obligatory christmas music, but in reality, I absolutely love creating too stuff like this, I've literally had a workout dancing today as well as creating.

It's all systems christmas, but I thought we could do with a bit of late summer warmth.
I love being sent wedding photos from my brides.

The things I do for Christmas wreaths, heading down the woods in a transport box bouncing around foliage in my ears 😆, I wouldn't have it any other way and this is what my wreath classes are about, the freshest seasonal foliage not imported sprayed with chemicals and picked months ago this is all picked the week before from our own land, English, fresh, inseason local chemical free, handmade environmental, unfortunately so many people don't know or care where their wreath comes from but for me it's a big deal and this is one part I look forward to every year, it helps when the weather is so beautiful 😍
Thank you to the other half for putting up with my demands

I'm so excited for Christmas this year and really feeling the magic already. The first classes start next week, so I'm picking foliage and berries at every chance I get. The willow I've grown for a few years is really producing some great stems that have been used for the bases, sausage rolls are made, and the mulled wine has been tested, Mariah has been blasted out the speakers a couple of times already and I've even done a little bit of present shopping

Autumn in a nutshell, well bouquet but omg I didn't want to say goodbye to this one.

It's definitely getting colder and won't be long before we get a proper frost here in East Sussex, so I'm making the most of still being able to produce lots of gorgeous flowers.

The first 500 tulip bulbs went in today, and nearly all the dahlias are lifted.

Crazy to think in a few weeks we will all be going christmas wreath crazy, is it me or is tome going so fast, I need more hours in the day

This job is definitely not for the faint-hearted, and believe me, I can't tell with all of them 😅

What am I doing?

Selecting the singles from the double stocks, and if you didn't know, you'd think the yellow sickly ones were for the compost, but it's those lush green guys that have to go.

I love stocks and I love the singles just as much as the smell is incredible but unfortunately the singles don't last as long as a double and apart from going on my table they aren't making me money, I can't afford to plant over 100 of each variety to find 50 are singles, so this tedious task must be done.
I don't actually mind it, and not everything is sown like this. Most things are individually sown per cell, but I purposely scatter more stocks than I need because I know I'm going to discard some.
thank you, , for supplying some quality seed with hardly any singles

The chrysanthemum is just starting, Alouise Salmon is always a favourite, but this little single outdoors variety is just peachy 🍑 it's huge and covered in bud.
I've never been a fan of Chrysanthemum, but there are a few that are so beautiful, far from the garage flowers we're used to associating with chrysanthemum and I'm actually quite fond of the smell it's got a nostalgic feel

What's your thoughts are you a lover or a hater ?

It's that time of year that we all love so much, that warm fuzzy feeling inside like we're all still kids, I absolutely love christmas and for me making a wreath for the door has been something we used to do as kids with mum and ive kept that tradition going with my kids and for the past 8 years I've been teaching you lovely lot everything I know. A lot of you return year after year and say this workshop is the start of Christmas for you, I love chatting with new and old faces drinking warm mulled drinks and yummy christmas treats all to some classic christmas songs. What's also beautiful about these workshops is the amount of materials on offer all grown dried and sourced by myself, meaning every wreath is different. Release your creativeness.

Date Saturday 7th December

10 till 12.30
1 30 till 4
6 till 8.30

£55 per person to include all materials

Autumn Workshops - We’re really excited to be offering two new Autumn workshops this year. Test tube flowers & Dried Flower hoops. They’ll be held at Rushlake Green Village Hall on 19th & 26th October. Each class costs £45 each but we are running them one after the other so if you’d like to book onto both on the same day it’s £75 for the two classes. Refreshments included…yes, there will be cake!
Full details, times etc are on our website (it’s linked in our bio) or you can dm to book.
Hope to see you there!

FYI - our beautiful oak block test tube holders have been lovingly made by Tina who helps out at the farm. We’re so lucky to have her as she can turn her hand to making anything! So thanks to Tina if you attend the course you’ll get to take home one of these beautiful oak test tube holders to arrange in for years to come. They really are beautiful!
