P&P

Before Christmas I was asked if I would do a bouquet and send by post. The flowers were tip top condition and the bouquet lay snug in its paper wrap. Sent safely by special delivery and by all accounts were a success. How do I know, well they told me so and they were impressed by them.

I can now say I can do UK postal flowers if a special delivery is required. Notice is required as the flowers have got to be as fresh as possible.

Tea

A staple to my morning routine. Was an avid coffee drinker until I was due my first son and the smell just flipped my tummy. So tried tea and never looked back. Nothing fancy but has to be Yorkshire tea. My dad would be proud!

Morning everyone!

Camellia sinensis aka the tea plant. This is where our tea comes from.

A touch of orange, rust and creams.

A bouquet for this lady who I was told didn’t like pink. Anigozanthos brings that subtle touch of colour.

Bespoke Funeral tribute

When a bereaved family have lost a beloved family member ideas evolve on how they wish to mark their funeral. For this family they wanted a tribute to represent a long career in the army.

When the family came to consult over what they wanted they said they had a specific design in mind; an intricate Royal Regiment of Scotland cap badge. Gulp, especially as my own grandad had served in the Gordon Highlanders.

We discussed size and how the use of flowers would create an impressionist design with the crown, the Lion Rampant and the flag of Scotland.

The Potting Shed Telford Business to business floral gifting

Sending flowers from one business to another sending a message of appreciation is such a thoughtful and beautiful gift.

A business can include their own branding to personalise their flowers. Kaye from kayehdesigns
did just that and from feedback her clients were overjoyed.

Would you like to send the flowers of appreciation from one business to another?

Just enjoying the last few days of my Christmas break. Back to creating floral delights from Monday 6th January if you wish to place any orders.

I’ve spent some time tidying and organising my workshop after my wreath-making workshops. Already for 2025.

When you finally realise that joy

is less fireworks
more firefly

less orchestra
more birdsong

she will come back much more often

for joy will not fight
with the fast pace of this life
she is not in the shiny or the new

she breathes in the basic
shimmers in the simple
and dances in the daily to and fro

joy has been beckoning you
for many a year my friend
you were just too busy doing, to see

the very next time joy wraps
her quiet warmth around you
as the garden embraces your weary body
in its wildness

tip her a nod

you cannot force her to stay
but if you are a gracious host

joy comes back..
