Bouquets & Wraps , Create-Your-Own , Florist Orders and Private Events - How wonderful !

The structures of Hellebore Flowers fascinate me , whilst , of course , being utterly beautiful 💚 .

These Flowers are on the same Plant , just at slightly different stages of development 💚 .

I love how in pic 1 , the reproductive structures start off tightly packed together , with the anthers surrounding the styles in the middle , while the Flower itself , nods its head to protect these structures 💚 .

Then in pic 2 , the anthers are releasing pollen , ready to coat the bodies of pollinators who go down to those green nectaries at the base ; they are actually modified petals , and the petals we see and love are modified leaves ! Which is why they don't fall off once the Flower is fertilised and forms seeds ! 💚

Pic 3 shows how the anthers gradually release and come away , once their pollinating job is done , how utterly fascinating 💚 .
.. and that's why Hellebores with seed-pods can be more upward facing and can last so long once cut (if You can bear to) ! 💚

I am so pleased to be offering these gorgeous Smith & Munson Tulips for Valentine's Day this year 💕 .

I have chosen these stunning 'Scarlet Verona' Double Red Tulips and these wonderful White Doubles called 'North Cap' . As they are doubles they should last longer in the Vase.

I will be creating beautiful Bouquets as well as simple Wraps , so do contact me by message or email if You live locally and would like to pre-order Yours .

Thank you , love from Jacqueline 💕

Happy Imbolc ! ☀ ... We made it through our hibernation and can awaken refreshed and into the light ! 🌱

I have loved my cosy break and managed to order Dahlias and Chrysanths and more F1 Snap Seeds that haven't been as happy over the winter , unlike my little saved Larkspur , who are thriving ! 🌿

My Hellebores are lighting-up my Patch at Havenhills Farm and we are all appreciating their early beauty 🌸 .

I hope You can enjoy what today brings You and feel reinvigorated for longer days and brighter skies ahead ! ☀

Much love from Jacqueline 🌻

Hello ! ❄ I hope You are all fairing well in this winter weather ! So cold but so beautiful ... here are some morning pics for You after a quick but excitable Dog Walk ; They still love it ! 🐶🐶

I too am loving this prolonged spell ; I have managed to select and order my Dahlias for this year , quite a Tutti-Fruity Mix for You ! 🍊🍓🍋 I am hoping today that I can narrow down my Chrysanths and get those ordered too , which will be more Autumnal 🍁🍂🌾 .

Then I might just do some housework ! 😄

Enjoy these days Folks , take care x

Brrrrr ! What a cold start we are having to 2025 , but it means that I can stay snug and work on admin , including my website.

Today , I have managed to install a form that You can complete and click-on to subscribe to my new Weekly Newsletter , which will also include Plant Availability ! How exciting is this ! Very 😊🌸🌱

The link is now in my Bio , as is that to my overall Website. I have a section called Monthly Focus which gives more details of what I was able to offer each Month last year ; You might like to have a browse (I love going through it all again and seeing my gorgeous Stems) . Oh , and my [email protected] email is working again , hoorah !

So , there we go , I feel quite chuffed , I have to say ! Enjoy your days , love Jacqueline 😊🌸🌱

These Wreaths are for two very special People ; one of whom loves Conifer Foliage , and the other loves these Evergreens but also the structure of Seed-Heads 🌿 .

I love making the Wreaths , it is such an immersive , creative process , and I get to appreciate the Plants all the more , in a different context , really lovely 🌿 .

Wishing You a wonderful Christmas Every-one 🌿

So today I had a wonderful time making the first of my Winter Wreaths 🌿 ... I hope You like Them ; I love Them 💚 .

They are big and glorious , full of fabulous Foliage and Stems , all locally foraged from Friends and Plants grown by me 🌿 .

The whole process of gathering and creating is yet another appreciation of the Seasons , Plants and Nature ; how lucky I am 💚 .

If You would like to order a bespoke Wreath , do get in touch (I will post videos of Them in my Stories) ... meanwhile , take care this Weekend , love from Jacqueline 🌿💚🌿 .

Happy December ! 💚 ... So here we are , 1st day of December , amazing ! 🤗

Yesterday I showed You some of the lovely dry , spent stems and seed-heads I love for my Winter Wreaths , and today , here are some of the fresh Firs and Greens that I can create with ! Aren't they all so gorgeous 💚🌿🌲 .

Different Pittosporums from me and Karen at Havenhills , plus some Ivy Berries ; thank you , thank you 💚 . Some bright , light Skimmia and Sarcococca , beautiful variegated Foliage (that I love*) , and maybe even some of my Eucalyptus ! Plus fabulous Firs from my Friend's Garden ! Thank you , thank you 💚 .

* Variegated foliage is Myrtle and a wonderful (tender) scented-leaf Prostanthera ovalifolia , that I purchased from last Sunday ! I now know that it is known as 'Purple Mint Bush' and has lovely Flowers too ! Yey 🤗

Enjoy your Sunday 💚 .

Today I have been blessed with dry weather , beautiful Plants and great Friendship ✨ ... culminating in my Box of Happy ! 💛

I spent some truly lovely time in the peace and sunshine at my Plot at Havenhills , gathering dried-stems , spent-flowers and seed-heads to decorate my Winter Wreaths . It is so therapeutic for me , being with Nature and up-close with the Plants , appreciating all their beauty. I went with my wild-side and picked what I loved ; hoping very much that Others will too ! 💛

I then went on to the Garden of my dear Friend , who had allowed me to 'forage Her Firs' for glorious greenery 🌿 .

I am so truly grateful to Her and to Karen & Jonathan for letting me loose in their Gardens , to gather fresh material for my Wreaths , so that they are natural , sustainable and authentic 💚 .

Thank you ✨

(As You might be able to tell , my Wreaths are bespoke and made to order ; do get in touch if You live local and would like one 🌿💚✨ .)

Hello ! I am very happy to be able to offer my hand-made Wreaths this Festive Season ! 🍃

All will be created with a willow base and straw then lovingly embellished in ever-green Foliage in lots of different shapes , forms and textures ; rather like this Wreath that I made last year with Karen , and is still adorning my wall at Home ! 🍃

I can offer my Wreaths to Folks for free delivery local to Bridgnorth and for collection from Havenhills Farm TF11 , or we can sort something out if You are in one of the other lovely surrounding Villages 🍃 .

Please direct message me to pre-order , many thanks , Jacqueline 🍃 .

A glorious day at Haven Flowers 💛 , the sun shone so bright I even ditched my vest ! 😄

Some Flowers are still blooming beautifully , with fresh stems of Daucus and Ammi visnaga reminding me of a tropical rain forest , they're so lush ! 🌿

Alongside the amazing Florists' Dill in all Her finery 💛 .

The Daisies of Erigeron annuus are as joyful and pretty as ever , and the Bidens aurea just keeps giving ! What a spectacular Plant for the border as well as for dancing in a Vase 💛 .

I have been planting lots of new Bulbs , including some gorgeous Hyacinths that I am so looking forward to , and can You believe that one of my Narcissi is even already flowering ! So beautiful , up in Stories 💛 .

Happy Days at Haven Flowers 🌻 (and lovely to see all the Team getting their Orders and Dishes ready for today and tomorrow's Tasting Evening ! You Lucky People You 💚 ) .

Much nicer sparkles currently lighting-up the Greenhouse at Farmcote Flowers 🌸 .

Alex and I adore the Chrysanthemums in their fiery tones as well as the more mellow amongst Them .

A true feast for our eyes and not a pop , whizz or bang to be heard !

Take care and I hope your Animals are OK 🤗 .

How beautiful are these Korean Hardy Chrysanthemums in my Client's Garden today ! 🌸

The first is 'Innocence' , smothered in these gorgeous , pale-pink and white daisy Flowers . The second is 'Emperor of China' , but is also known as 'Cottage Pink' (which is a far prettier name) , with fabulous fluted petals in rosey-pink with a darker centre . Amazingly , 'Cottage Pink' is referred to in an article by Gertrude Jekyll , way back in 1888 from her Munstead Wood Garden ! You can see this on the website 🌸 .

These were both from , a couple of years back , and have thrived ever since 🌸 .

I have taken cuttings of both to add to my growing (😊) collection of Garden Hardy Chrysanthemums at Haven Flowers , as they are equally fabulous as Cut Flowers , aren't we lucky ! 🌸

Enjoy your week 🌸
