Midsummer sweet peas 🫛

13/06/2024

Perfect parma violet pastels for Natasha today…The smell of the sweet peas, sweet williams and stocks are intoxicating. A lot of alliteration today 🤍!

The beautiful Molly and her maid!

All flowers grown by me, just a few miles from this stunning garden where the ceremony took place. Local flowers are the best!

‘Happy Birthday’ subscription flowers…

A beautifully scented mix of ranunculus, anemones, colibrí poppies, Hesperis, and a mix of seasonal British flowering shrubs. All grown, gathered and arranged here in Suffolk, by me, without chemicals, plastics or air miles.

Contact me for individualised subscriptions if you’d like to receive my flowers on a regular basis.

Wishing you all a great week ahead.

I’ve come home from a fantastic family holiday to a tunnel full of the most beautiful lemony, white and peachy pink poppies with a scrumptious scent. Probably the best ever, but don’t I always say that?

20/03/2024

Narcissi…

So many of these are still really short, in bud, coming up blind, or being eaten by slugs. I suspect the bulbs have been weakened by successive drought (think the summer of 22), and flooding (think pretty much continuous since Autumn!).
We garden on heavy clay and the loss of bulbs is a serious consideration as we move towards more erratic weather patterns associated with climate change.
Most of my bulbs are dotted through woodland and dappled grassy areas. Usually they would multiply and bulk up over successive years, but I’m thinking I may need to rethink this. Is anyone else having a poor year with their narcissi?

17/03/2024

The most beautiful poppies are beginning to emerge…Expensive seed and a little temperamental, but I can’t resist a challenge. Colibrí poppies, you are a picture!

14/03/2024

Slowly but surely…The flowers are emerging from the depths of a wet, bleak, long winter here in Suffolk. These Galilee anemones are finally starting to pop in the tunnel and I couldn’t be more pleased to see their cheery faces.

03/03/2024

March flowers…

Although admittedly not this season. We’re still wading through mud, squelching through borders and picking up the pieces from the wettest winter since records began.
However, there will be flowers! We’re still here and still growing. Lots to look forward to as the new season brings us narcissi, blossom, hellebores and fresh beginnings.

An autumn bunch of blooms taken in what felt like the last of the sunshine. I’m sure we all feel the same way about what’s happening in the world. I can’t shake the sadness…

30/09/2023

Hanging on to September by the skin of my teeth and the froth of the cosmos - which is on it’s last legs. Just like most of us growers. Time to slow down and accept the changing rhythms of nature. Personally, I have no problem with going to bed early with the rest of the natural world. There’s just a final push to get next years flowers into the earth before we give in and go to ground.

25/09/2023

A final flurry of summertime floweriness before the impending Hurricane Agnes…I still have some work to do before she hits Suffolk so I’m secretly hoping she’ll be all mouth, and no trousers!
What a season it’s been! What a year! In the eternal words and wisdom of our late, great Queen;
2023 “is not a year on which I shall look back with undiluted pleasure!”

20/09/2023

Happy Anniversary to these gorgeous people! Josie and Jonny…Such happy memories of your beautiful day and all of the love and care that went into becoming a brilliantly happy wedding. Also gained a great friend .nash2018 who I treasure ❤️

Much love to you all ###

Late summer lemons 🍋

Sometimes life can hurl them at you repeatedly and it’s not always easy to make lemonade by yourself. On the other hand there’s always a bunch of flowers to cheer your days and to gift to someone you love, admire, respect or simply want to bring joy. I love my job.

07/09/2023

Pink, orange and green and a gorgeously sunny day…I’m loving this colour combination, set against the lusciously verdant, Physocarpus foliage.

These single flowered cosmos were self down and are towering over the fussy doubles and fancy varieties. I have to say I love them all, but these are killer!

02/09/2023

This one was a joy to make. I could walk down an aisle with it myself…Hope it was everything you wished for Rosie x x x

01/09/2023

My foxy chocolate foxgloves looking pretty damn foxy in this milk churn…🦊

Happy Friday!

Thank you and for the lovely photograph…

A pinky pop of echinacea and we’re all set…

I’ve recently sown a whole new batch of these beautiful flowers, in all sorts of shapes and colours. They don’t love my heavy soil, but with amendments and care I can keep them flourishing.There are always a few plants that we have to work that little bit harder to maintain but I love their cheery faces and the pollinators go crazy for them. In a garden setting they are stunning in drifts through the middle of a border, and love to bake in the sunshine. A bit like me. Shame about that this summer…!

Obviously I mean the baking in the sun bit. Not the looking stunning in the border bit!

All the pinks to welcome a very, very, special baby girl to the world.

Flowers and friendship…Totally gorgeous!

23/08/2023

Twenty years today since I married my husband…I did my own church flowers with the help of my mum and my mum-in-law, but don’t have a single photo that is digitised on my phone (these are not them!)…My husbands mum Vera, grew some beautiful petunias around the edge of their terrace where we drank champagne after the service, but the rabbits had managed to eat them all the night before! It didn’t matter as their garden was stunning and a labour of love over many years…Must try to dig out some photos of it to share on here

Burnt orange, sunshine and marmalade. A bright and beautiful celebration of the season for Natasha 🧡🍊☀️

Dahlia ‘Preference’ and ‘Cornell Bronze’
Rudbekia ‘Sahara’
Phlox ‘Cherry caramel
And a few other goodies

21/08/2023

An August bouquet of Dahlia’s, Aster and Phlox. And a few other stems of this and that for character, scent and swoosh.

Happy Monday!

19/08/2023

All the sultry, smoky, and sensuous pinks in this one. It smelt as beautiful as it looked.

Happy weekend to all! Here’s to those Lionesses 💕🌸💕🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

16/08/2023

There’s isn’t much more lovely than a cloud of softly ruffled cosmos on a sunny afternoon in August. And what’s even nicer is that these could still be flowering in November if we play the weather cards right. Such workhorses for flower growers and admirers alike.

15/08/2023

‘I’m thinking of you’ flowers…

A quiet gesture of love and support from one friend to another. Where would we be without our mates?

14/08/2023

Catching some August sunshine…🌻

Here’s to another bright and shiny week!

A handful of late May on a beautiful sunny, Suffolk afternoon. This one has all the feels of early summer…Soft spikes of verbascum and snapdragons colliding with ranunculus, nigella, cornflowers and poppies.
