The bits you never see. Buckets and buckets of blooms grown, cut, conditioned, transported, unloaded, titivated and waiting for their moment to shine at the wedding they’ve been specially chosen for. We take so much care over your wedding flowers. Only the best blooms are selected from the field in your chosen colours (read as: cutting wedding flowers takes an absolute age..and that’s why!) and only cut a couple of days before so they’re freshest they can possibly be.

The dark afternoons do seem to encourage more phone activity which is definitely another downside 🫠. On the flip side though, it’s when I discover just how many photos I’ve taken throughout the season and how few I shared on here. I’ll try and rectify that, after all you’re partly here for the pretty pics I guess.

More race across Peru than rest and relaxation, but so much magic and so grateful for the pause. Big distances, raw, untamed landscapes, ancient peaks and wild jungle. Layers of history and a unique mosaic of colour, tradition and culture. No gardens or flowers really to speak of (normally try and sniff one out somewhere along the way) but the land of pisco sours and a proper little adventure. Sad to return to the dark afternoons and christmas adverts 🫠, but need to take the brakes off now and get cracking again with all those delayed winter jobs…ranunculus and sweet peas I’m looking at you. But first things first…washing machine on and excited to be reunited with the 🐶💕

It’s almost the end of October and the dahlias are still going strong, but I’m a bit spent if I’m honest. So much to do on the field and in the greenhouse at this time of year to try and be in a good place before winter, and I’m pretty behind but you can only do what you can do. Am heading off for some time away to rest and recharge. This year has battered me. —
-Buckets of blooms back in the summer.
-Dahlias still looking perky today.
-Some bed clearing got done…but sooo much more to do 🫠
-Lots of lovely frogs when we cleared some beds which is always great to see.
-A little bed of hellebores just by the shed, from my mums garden. The only remotely shady spot on the field. I hope she’d like that they’re up there on the field with us.

A super busy week of cutting, collecting, collating, allocating, designing, transporting, and ‘building’ flowers for this weekend’s wedding. Jess and Matt’s sunset palette was perfect as we (rather suddenly it seems) feel the seasonal shift into Autumn. As always, it takes a village to be able to pull out all the floral stops. Massive thank you to my grower pals for all the beautiful extra flowers and foliage and . And huge shout out to my wonderful freelancers who I couldn’t have done it without-thank you! 🙏 and - you’re all legends 😘

Aargh 🤦‍♀️I just don’t know where the last few weeks have gone. It’s been a bit of a flowery whirl with weddings, workshops, wholesale, subscription flowers..and a lighting quick weekend down south with my best people, to visit a couple of gardens that have been on my garden bucket list forever (note to self.. 6.5hr drive =get the train and hire a car next time!)
A slightly quieter, but more difficult week this week, trying to continue clearing my parents house😪 Back to the flowers soon and another beautiful wedding next weekend.

Last minute small, intimate wedding full of tutti fruitti colours for Beth and Alex. If we can help you at short notice we will.

These dollies loving the warm days and the high temps in the greenhouse. Maybe we’ve fooled them into thinking they’re in Mexico after all.

The gals are here. Despite the wasps best efforts.

Can’t believe I didn’t get round to posting these pics of the workshop a couple of weeks ago(where do the days go?) but the weather was gorgeous and everyone went home with their hearts and vases full of flowers. We have two workshops left this season, the August one is fully booked, but there are still 3 spaces on the last one on 21st September. Carve out some me time and come and join us…and if you love dahlias, this one’s for you. All info and booking is on the website. Link in bio.

Waiting patiently in the dappled sunlight for their moment. Soft pastels for Emma and her bridesmaids back in June.

Bronze fennel is such a favourite at this time of year. Tall structural stems, mustardy yellow umbel flower heads that the pollinators love. Feathery bronze leaves and that smokey aromatic liquorice aroma. Looks great in all types of arrangements (here with echinacea, snapdragons, panicum grass scabious and nicotiana) or use the fronds in salads and dressings or chopped over your roasties. Or..save the seed and add them to your breads and biscuits or crush them slightly and make a brew! I mean, what more could you ask of a plant. Oh and it gently self sows itself around which I always love.
