Work / home life has been beautifully busy & crazy, hence some of my quietness in this space.
One of the amazing events that has joyfully consumed my life has been planning the flowers & floral arrangements for my daughter Harriet & Chris’s wedding.
1 week ago today we celebrated their wedding day & it was easily one of the most memorable & beautiful days of my life. Thank you & for involving me in the journey🤗
Thank you also to my team, & the brilliant Rob & Dan for all their incredible support & hard work 🙏🏻
Thank you also to Sarah for her kind guidance & support 🤗

I’m not really a fan of pink but I’ll make an exception for Rosa Mme Grégoire Staechelin, who’s putting on a lovely show this year 🤗 last year there were barely any roses 🧐
Added bonus that she’s also helping make confetti for my daughter’s wedding in October 🤭 also aiming to use the rose hips in some of the floral displays 🙏🏻🌱

Gardening is all about experimenting & editing! Gently exploring what works in your garden - there’s no such thing as an instant garden, time & patience is needed!

A couple of years ago I went on a gravel gardening course run by the wonderful Derry Watkins & I thought I’d share how my own small gravel garden is starting to develop.

Essentially I cleared this border 2 years ago removing & repurposing the top soil, then added gravel to depth of between 15/20cm.

I’ve planted directly into the gravel, given the new plants an initial water but then left them to get on with it. As you can see the plants are very happy in this medium. The foliage get lots of sunshine whilst their roots enjoy the cool, moisture retentive environment of the gravel, win win 🤗

I also like how the gravel area creates a contrasting calm void amongst the mass of the surrounding borders.

Note to self must try to sit in this area & not just do 😂🌱
