Hello! I'm a Lydney-based grower of beautiful, British dried flowers.

A wreath made to reflect the beautiful autumnal colours and natural style of a bride’s gorgeous wedding bouquet 🧡

This was a really lovely brief as I had the freedom to choose the flowers and foliages without needing to exactly copy the ingredients in the original wedding floristry. A few are the same, like the strawflowers and amaranth & some of the foliages and grasses. Others are various autumn seed heads and catkins gathered from my garden.

I used a mix of dried and glycerine-preserved foliages to give a look of even more diversity of ingredients (beech, eucalyptus, olive, snowball viburnum, pittosporum, cotinus). I think my favourite preserved foliage is the viburnum that I picked at the very start of October so the green leaves were tinged with red.

Thanks so much for this wonderful commission 🍂

A request for blue & white with a hint of autumn for a September birthday 🧡

I didn’t sow any blue cornflowers for next spring because I decided to drop them from my growing list. I’ve had lots of them shedding petals more than usual. But I’m looking at them in this bouquet and might be changing my mind. I just love their colour! Maybe I could fit in a few plants after all…

Pink meadowsweet (or Filipendula rubra)💕 it’s the rosy cloud-like flower near the middle of the bouquet. And it’s the only stem of it I dried this year - I wanted to see how it looked dried before I harvested more. Besides, I love seeing its fluffy pink clouds out in the garden - photo 4.

Another flower in this bouquet love dried (and also didn’t harvest much of) is Veronica longifolia ‘Pink damask’ - the pink spikes on the right hand side. Despite only planting it this spring, it surprised me by doing absolutely fine through the drought with very little watering and even in one of the driest parts of my garden. So it’s one I’d recommend if you’re looking for drought tolerant perennials for a UK garden. It’s also great for the bees 🐝

Ooh I do love a multicolour bouquet… I can add a little bit of all my favourites 🥰 Including that large plummy dahlia in the middle which I think might be Hapet Frambo 💜 This year I’m labeling my dahlias as they dry so I know exactly how each one looks dried and I can edit what I decide to grow next year. I even have labels next to most of the plants in the garden this year - a huge improvement on last year!

I made this as a gift for our lovely friend who helped us out with last-minute cat sitting… thanks again Sophie!! 💕

Wishing you all a happy Saturday - what are you up to? I’m headed out in the garden to finally get on with the new perennial border I’ve been planning for months. Now the weather’s cooler and a bit wetter I can think about getting plants in the ground 🌱

Pinks & peaches… a favourite colour combo 🩷

The first of this year’s pink gomphrena is in this bouquet (the rose coloured, ball shaped flower). I’ve only just started drying it in the past few weeks and can’t wait to start using more of it. I planted loads of it this year!
