Sweet Peas, Rose Campion, Fennel, Briza Maxima, Le Sweet Peas, Rose Campion, Fennel, Briza Maxima, Lemon Balm. A perfect little posy, colourful and fragrant, and all picked from our garden. Something you couldn’t buy in a shop and it makes growing your own flowers and herbs even sweeter! 💚
Sometimes it’s not all about the flowers. Grasse Sometimes it’s not all about the flowers. Grasses have a delicate beauty that belies their strength. Sculptural and elegant, I love using Briza Maxima to complement a single bloom or a wildflower posy. Do you grow grasses as well as flowers? What are your favourite foliage fillers? 💚
Love seeing these upcycled telephone boxes in Bath Love seeing these upcycled telephone boxes in Bath. Such a good idea and the flowers were a beautiful, colourful, and fragrant boost on a rainy day. Well played whoever original came up with this one! 💐
My favourite Clematis at the side of our house. 💜  She’s a Group 3 (so I prune back HARD in early Spring). You wouldn’t think anything this vibrant could survive being chopped back to around 3-4 inches from the ground, but every year she bounces back, bigger, brighter, and better than ever. 🙌

Aka Granny’s Bonnet, and always a welcome visitor to our May garden, this beautiful perennial British wildflower’s season is all but over, sadly. Have you seen many Aquilegias this Spring? 💜
