This is certainly an interesting topic to write about at an interesting time. Outside the sun is shining and it feels like Spring is very much here and yet last night our Prime Minster announced that we are now only advised/allowed to go out of the house three times a day! So my thinking is,…
I’m keeping it simple in today’s title. Foam-free arrangements are something that have interested me for a while, it was massively inspiring to see Flowers-from-the-farm gold medal winning stand at this years Chelsea flower show use foam free mechanics all the way through their display. This photo below might look a bit odd, but I…
British flower week is here, how are we already in the middle of June! I don’t where you are but Britain is experiencing a rather delightful heat wave, I’m sat at my computer writing this blog-post and melting in the process.

Over the last couple of months we have been able to use our own flowers grown in the Not So Secret Garden for five weddings! It’s been a lovely learning curve, managing the preparation before the weddings. Making sure that flowers were cut on time, that the right amounts of certain types were going to be…
