It’s that time of year when dried flowers come to the fore……

Just when I thought the season was over…. A cup of tea and a wander with the snips in the rain yielded a final hurrah of summers bounty. Rosa ‘Chandos Beauty’ and Rosa ‘James Galway’, Scabiosa ‘Fama blue’, a couple of Antirrhinum ‘Madame Butterfly’, a little Astrantia and a couple of teeny Dahlias……. Time to enjoy the finals few flowers

I’ve been trialling a this year for my cuttings and so far I’m super impressed with it…. Look at this rose cutting! Wow

23/10/2024

Autumn is well and truly upon us…… I cannot believe the Colibri poppies sown last autumn from are still blooming, they’re just so ethereal, especially in this low light. Also a little play with the very last of the clematis for this season….. one by one the floral treats are coming to an end

Sometimes life (or the tunnel grown alstro) gives you wonky stems….. embrace them and show off their quirky beauty (let’s face it these girls aren’t going in anyone’s bouquet!)

Sweet little home made stoneware jug showcasing the last of the Tanacetum

Fun day tutoring a 121 intro to floristry class here at Meadows Flowers…… we did hand tied bouquets, vase arrangements and delicate pin frog bowl designs…. And I popped a few miscanthus grasses with crocosmia

17/10/2024

More potteryness…. This time my bud vase with speckle glaze teamed with miscanthus grass

I have just taken up pottery as well…… so my first hand made bowl complete with stunning autumnal chrysanthemums. What have I learnt? Pottery is hard! You’re at the mercy of the kiln gods with firing and glazing and it’s guaranteed your favourite piece won’t make it through firing. And also things shrink! A lot!! What starts out as a nibbles bowl turns into a finger bowl by the end of the process…..

Playing with light and shadows…. Awesome photography and flowery support from

This is why buying British flowers is so important….

Toiling on a Kenyan flower farm to send fresh roses to Europe

Women work long and gruelling hours to grow the flowers sold across Europe.

British growers are taking a increasing share of sales long dominated by imports by focussing on green credentials
