Have you dreamed of spending a weekend in a chateau, living in a place that is so beautifully curated that you can’t quite believe it? My Mum used to get old country living magazines from a friend of hers when I was young and I loved flicking through all the pictures of those gorgeous houses….
I wanted to share more about the floral archway workshop that happened this month. A group of seven florists gathered with me at Emmanuels yard in Trowbridge to learn how to create an free-standing archway using no floral foam. The weather was utterly glorious and the sunshine was out as we started construction. It…
I wanted to share more about the Young Blooms Online floristry School at the beginning of the new year. Learning a new skill or updating your abilities is such a positive thing to do as the year begins. I guess you can call something like this a way to invest in yourself. I read this…
Making flower-crowns has been a big part of Young Blooms Summer, I’ve had over 15 groups of women through our workshop doors creating crowns. On the most part I’ve been able to source all the flowers from our flower garden which has been wonderful and you can see some of their efforts on our blog….

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. However, the garden is LOVING the heat and colour is everywhere to be seen…
I love hosting workshops at Young Blooms, and this one was a corker, we had a fab group of ladies who were staying here for a hen-party. They wanted something creative to do as the Bride herself was looking to do her own flowers for her wedding. So they decided to combine it all and…
