Can you believe the colour of these Persimmon leaves! easy to place with Adobe and Fatsia Japonica seedheads today. Just love morning walks. I thought I would run a Winrter Solstice earth friendly workshop to celebrate the beauty of the gardens as Autumn shifts to Winter. The change of seasons always signals Spring to me. Rekindling my creativity is a pleasure as I work with wild botanicals from the Quarry. Haha there's that word 🥰 wild again. l will be teaming these with gorgoues dried flowers from local grower Charlotte and Jo . Thanks heaps🌿

I'm sure you too have had a year of growing. Next year, well that's tomorrow. My little corner of the world is Towai where I have an off grid cabin on a pocket of land.

I get caught up in my world as my motivation to create a new life for myself strongly guides me. I'm working, playing, and experimenting with Permaculture and planting for life. But I dont forget that it is Whānau and my friends that keep me grounded and ready to open my heart alittle more.

The current Delta Covid situation in Aotearoa has created huge restrictions on flower growers. I realise everyone across Aotearoa has been affected

My flower growers community and followers have put together posts that express the heart breaking situation at hand as flowers are dumped, or composted and unable to be sold.
If you have access to Instagram please support if you can. I have added a few links

I have emailed my local MP Shanan Halbert- MP for Northcote with the post and to share my current situation as a flower grower living in Auckland. I am in the position of not being allowed to check on and maintain my crops as these are grown at South Head, Auckland and I am living in Birkdale, Auckland.
I am a small scale grower doing my best to bring flowers and workshops to my local communities.

Some photos from my Natural wreath making workshop on Saturday at the Birkdale Community House. If you missed out and would like to create your own natural wreath from grapevines, there are a few spots left on the 15th August at Beach haven Community House. Tickets available through Eventbrite.

🍀Dried Wild Garden Botanicals were available to purchase at the workshop. One of the participants sent a photo showing their unique play on these....simply stunning!

✨Relaxed, fun, mindful and theraputic were some of the special comments shared by this wonderful group of crafters.
