The loveliest flowers to give are for those you love. Today our eldest daughter graduated from Nottingham. When she comes to visit she helps with a few garden jobs so it was time for the garden to give back to her! Congratulations Lizzy!!

But why you ask? There is a gardening tip that you don’t plant your seedlings out until the soil is warm enough for your bare bottom. A few too many nettles in our garden to join in!

And so today flowers to honour the life of the remarkable lady I was privileged to call my mother in law.
In planning the flowers for her husband’s funeral only a few short weeks ago, conversation turned to what she might like and her favourite flowers, her response ‘oh just a bit of greenery from the garden’ and she loved primroses. So we had buttonholes with rosemary from her tiny garden, primroses from mine and heather her namesake flower. Too unwell to attend Julian’s service, she had a version of his flowers with her at the hospice, that brought her great joy to her last days. Her flowers had to be as prolific as the lives she influenced, all seasonal, sustainably sourced and passed on to those she loved after the service, some going to Mount Edgecombe hospice in Heather’s memory. Her wreath, made with love from her granddaughters will be planted in the garden along with Julian’s and as they flower each spring will remind us of the joy they brought to our lives.

Well, I wasn’t expecting that! and the reason everything is still tucked up in the greenhouses. I’m really pleased with the progress of the pleached limes planted for my 50th birthday.

Special flowers for my father in law today. Sustainable seasonal arrangement on a willow and moss base, primula, anemone, muscari, miniature daffs ( jetfire to reflect his time as an aeronautical engineer) will all continue to grow and miniature vases of seasonal flowers from the garden. I made a coordinating bowl arrangement for my mother in law who was not well enough to attend.
