Wreath bases. The thing about living on a farm with a farmer, 9 miles from the closest small town is you learn to be self reliant, and wherever possible you learn to adapt ways of working to suit what you have. The really lovely and inspiring people who joined @flockandfind and myself for our wreath class agreed, and so we made our wreaths without moss bases that in the past I had pillaged from our woodlands, and with all natural ingredients cut from a willow garden growing at the bottom of our drive and conifers from our woods and flowers I had dried through the growing season. Thank you everyone who joined our class. Another beautiful photo 📷 @kitontour . #igrewthis #slowflowers #inspiredbynature #winterwreath

The evergreen season has begun. And if I ever needed reminding, when I am walking up our hill heading towards a morning searching for the perfect branches of scented green conifers, I remember why green is one of my favourite colours - scents of Christmas. Scotch pine - my favourite, larch, cedar and so many more I don’t know the names of. But I know the colours, tones and textures of green I love...beautiful pea green always has to be amongst my evergreens 🌲 I picked these and gathered many more textures fresh and dried from our farm and garden for my first class - a seasonal wreath class hosted by beautiful inspiring Alice @flockandfind. Thank you @kitontour for capturing our class and all the really lovely people who attended.

Embracing the arrival of December. Christmas wreath class preparations almost complete. Bundles of dried flowers and foliage from the summer garden laid out ready to pack, with stems of willow and scented conifer to cut and the alluring finishing touch of bells and lengths of velvet ribbons to prepare for our first class with @flockandfind next Tuesday.

I could never do without my garden roses and my favourite garden foliage - oregano. It’s promising to be a cold winter our way, and on advice from my super gardener Lynn we thought it best to pot my new oregano seedlings up, and tuck them away in the polytunnels to-over winter. My new roses - again in romantic blushes and shades of grace oranges - roses I find it hard to be bold in - will be heeled in beside the precious seedlings.

It’s taken me some years to delve into the world of Chrysanthemums. I was never very clear how to grow them - I felt some mystery surrounded how to grow the perfect flower. But this beauty, Emperor of China is now in my garden. Last Autumn I was given a few beautiful stems in a bucket of cut glowers from the magical walled garden @flowergardenatstokesaycourt and I was sold - I had to take the plunge and grow my own alluring pinky silvery flowers on stems of leaves that turn a deep crimson.
