I am so thrilled when I receive feedback for my work, it means so much to me!

'Truly beautiful and the best possible floral tribute. Mum would have been over the moon with it. Thank you so much Martha. Your kindness, thoughtful suggestions and absolutely stunning arrangement were immense and really helped me get through the day xx'

Birthday bouquet full of pretty summer blooms and scents. All English grown and tied with twine. Low carbon footprint and no plastic wrapping.

Although I have now reduced my floristry time to take on a part time job please do contact me with your flower requests, I love creating beautiful florals and if I can't I can put you in touch with other local florist friends. 🌿

Summer shades of English grown flowers. This bouquet is part of a year's subscription. Today the recipients told me that they will be making their own Christmas cards and they will feature 11 months of seasonal bouquets. What a lovely idea ❤️🌿

Flowers from Majorca to brighten your day. 😊

Hello! After taking a few months to settle into my new part time job I was honoured to be asked to create a very special floral farewell. So much thought and love went into this truly personal tribute for a much loved mum and granny. 11 seasonal plants were fixed in to the moss base and each were gifted to family/ friends to enjoy in their gardens. The foliage and some flowers, including the lady's favourite aquilegia were cut from her garden, rosemary for rememberance and bottle brush, another favourite. White roses and yellow freesias were included, as they were in the lady's wedding bouquet. These will be pressed and dried by the lady's daughter.

The tribute was taken to the wake and placed by a photograph before being dismantled. All compostable and the tray base reusable.

The lady loved her garden and so a very fitting tribute. 🌿

Winter sunshine at Wicken Fen on a sunny afternoon. I just wanted to let you know that I may be a little quiet on here for a while as I settle in to a new part time job. I will continue to work with flowers, so please do get in touch if you have an occasion for flowers.

Sunny colours between friends, ranunculus and mimosa to add joy and cheer during miserable times. Arranged and delivered in a vase making life a little easier for the poorly friend. If you are sending flowers to someone local to Ely or within 5 miles I can deliver in one of my vases and collect at a later date. 🌿

A simple and subtle way to add some flowers. These delicate jars were for a Celebration of Life. Nothing too bright, but a gentle nod to spring, a few wintery colours and seasonal catkins.

Unusual 🌿

As well as events, weddings, funerals, memorials, gifts and workshops I also create floral installations for private homes, businesses, shop windows and modelling shoots.

This woodland inspired clock surround was create for a client's fairy garden during lockdown. The garden was at the front of the house and the idea was to give children something to enjoy whilst on their daily walk.

However unusual your idea, if it's seasonal and sustainable I would love to hear from you! OR if you know of someone who might please share this post or pass on my details. Thank you!

This week I am preparing to create some simple table arrangements for a memorial. These will be gifted to a care home after the memorial, what a lovely gesture!

When I work with my customers I like to discuss what could happen to the flowers after the occasion. We often come up with ways in which the flowers can continue to be enjoyed. Here are some of these ideas...

🌿 Given away to guests as small posies.
🌿 Plants potted up to be planted out in the gardens of friends and family.
🌿 Gifted to a special place.

If flowers are to be placed on a grave or at a memorial site I can created something that's completely compostable, so that there's no chance of ribbons, cellophane or floral foam being left to litter the environment.

Florals for all of life's occasions. Flowers that are a true reflection of the season at the time of your event. I can talk you through what's available and how we can create something beautiful using seasonal flowers and nature's treasures. If it's roses in February that you are after I am not your florist.

Late May flowers locally grown - ranunculus, viburnum opus, flowering currant, geranium buds and french lavender.

Happy New Year to you all. I hope you've had a lovely break with your loved ones.

As we move into the new year and think about new beginnings I am planning what Cicely and Twine will look like in 2023. I am going to commit to a year of projects that are truly seasonal, sustainable and eco friendly, celebrating nature in all its glory.

If you would like to discuss your event, wedding, flowers for a loved one, memorial flowers or a workshop idea and you think I might be the right florist for you I would love to hear from you. My diary for 2023 is now open.

Slowing down. Taking a moment to reset, reflect and focus on the days ahead.

Sitting pretty ready for the celebration.

Glorious Day for a Wedding

Wedding set up in the sunshine at Ash Tree Barns.

April Fools, quite literally!

Trying to lay cardboard for our no dig beds was interesting! We were blown across the paddock. After a couple of hours in sunshine and wind we called it a day when this started. When you can't see through your glasses any more it's time to give up. Can you get glasses with windscreen wipers?

Nesting

Patiently waiting. This is the 4th year running blue tits have nested in our box! This morning I watched them pull out the fluffy wool from a winter jumper I'd washed and hung on the line to add to their nest. I saw on another flower farmer's Instagram that you can leave out the hair from your hairbrush for the birds to use.

Springtime Love

Seasonal, English flowers for this bridal bouquet. 'Thank you so much for my beautiful flowers!!! I had so many lovely comments about them, they were absolutely perfect!! I love them, especially the willow ring and the beautiful colours, so fresh and spring like.' Mrs S

Evening watering our plot - Martha and Sharon. This is where all Cicely and Twine flowers will be coming from until October (hopefully!) Not many flowers on the dahlia patch but will film there once it's in bloom.

Remembering

All the details...

Eco Festival

If you haven't already, buy your tickets now for this local festival! Mad Hatter's Campsite Eco Festival

All in a day's work...

The less glamorous job of running a flower plot (and there are many!) It was time to give our IBC a clean before repositioning it in readiness for using our essential purchase of a battery operated pump so we can water the plot more effectively.

As the sun goes down...

Evening watering at the flower plot. Nurturing our seedlings and perennials. This is where your beautiful Cicely and Twine flowers and foliages will be coming from this season. Plot life - Martha and Sharon
