My next obsession… a sedum roof - or basically anything sedum or succulent inclined!
We had a delicious lunch and then i@obsessed over the succulents
Oh what joy to know these grow with ease in Cornwall and I ( hopefully) won’t lose them all in the winter as I do in Oxford!!

So pleased with our latest project… raised beds , Balau wood decking and ‘outdoor kitchen ‘complete with slate work surface…. It’s been a hot one to work on! What do you think?

So our latest project was to bring ‘inside outside’… we are developing this outdoor kitchen area , decking and raised beds.. it’s coming together nicely have never used balau hardwood decking before and though it’s ‘red’ now … will silver like teak or oak and will meld beautifully in this space .

So here’s us two… it’s now over a year since ‘posyflowersandgardens’ began and boy what a year it’s been! Super busy and lots of graft but we’ve loved it!posyflowers has taken a on new ‘limb’ so to speak, and though there have been less flowers and more gardens, We’ve totally loved the making and maintaining of gardens!
There’s still much change ahead of us in 2024 and looking forward, it can only be a good thing!😁

May and the sun is shining yay! On my stories you’ll see I took a bucolic walk in Port meadow nature reserve today - just wonderful….
Apologies in advance to all Hay fever sufferes but, love it or hate it - now is the time for wonderful Hawthorn blossom. AKA May blossom and Quckthorn. I found out some facts courtesy of too….
There is an old English saying ‘Ne’er cast a clout till May be out’ is believed to mean – you shouldn’t remove warm clothing (clout) until hawthorn (also known as May) is flowering. Some people believe it refers to the month of May; either interpretation reminds us how changeable UK weather can be in late spring. …. I’d always carry a spare woolly probably up until August tbh !!
Anyway here are some beautiful images I’ve taken of this gorgeous flower and I know it’s meant to be bad luck to bring flowering hawthorn into the house but it hasn’t stopped me….
Sybil made a particularly beautiful May Queen a few years back .. I’m sure you’ll agree. 😉

Green Alkanet…. Pentaglottis sempervirens…Often mistaken for Forget-me-not, Comfrey or Borage.
Some will call it a wildflower, others a w**d. If it’s where you don’t want it then yes quite invasive as the tap roots go deep. Speaking of roots… it’s thought they were a substitute for coffee and also were used as a natural dye for textiles.
But, it’s a wonderful ground cover and who can deny the beauty of those star shaped electric blue flowers ?
Oh and the flowers are edible and make for a lovely garnish on salads or in an ice cube in your fave drink!!!💙💙💙

It’s always satisfying to see a garden you’ve given love and attention to from a different perspective!
This belongs to a lovely client of ours. They wanted the decking repairing where it had rotted and all the trees and shrubs pruned and shaped. We filled the pots with bulbs ( out in full bloom now!) pressure washed all the stone slabs and gave a lick of paint to the shed and fencing! Good as new!
What do you think?

Hello February! The shortest month , my birth month and today we start it with sunshine…..☀️
February 1-2 marks midway point between winter solstice and spring equinox. is a pagan celebration of light … it’s also a Gaelic festival called Saint Brigid’s day …. Finally we have increasing daylight and the gradual return of warmth.
Get outside today … witness all the snowies showing their faces as well as all the other shoots pushing their way up!
Light a candle to welcome in the light after these dreary dark days …. February isn’t so bad…
It’s a time of new beginnings and renewal….. I’ll take that!

What are we day 56 of January …Seems never ending doesn’t it!? In desperate need of sunshine and the sun is definitely trying to show its face today yay! 😬
But here’s guaranteed sunshine in wreath form for you! Ta-Dah! Just waiting for her forever home now…..

Silly season is upon us ….
I always forget to take pics of all the wreaths I make - I managed to snap this one on the bonnet of my Landrover before she went off to her Christmas home!
I’m definitely wading my way through the greenery mountain that is now where my patio was….
I will have a few wreaths available to buy from Woodstock from tomorrow .
Thank you for all you orders …. 🎄🎄🎄

DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE….!?
Nature presents opportunities. I’m especially grateful to Mother Nature after a storm as I know there’ll be fallen branches laden with treasures…..
I love foraging but you have to be in it to win it! It’s taken me years to know where and when to look. I never take too much and I always say “thank you” to the fallen boughs!
Why not come and create with me some with me…

All planted up … a border which will totally come to life in the Spring! … tulips, narcissi, bridal crown and alliums nestle between the stipa, and quietly sleeping nepeta and cranesbill….. watch this space.
