Who would have thought - today the first box of my dahlia tubers arrived 🥰 hoorah. So many more seeds to sow, and beds to prepare in the field, but already I am feeling better 🌟#igrewthese As ever beautiful world captured by my friend @brittwilldyer

Sowing seeds in my potting tunnel today, I reflected on who I might be sewing them for. High summer bouquet captured by @georgina_photo in her most beautiful way. Inspiring the making a bouquet like this is a fairly equal tussle between wanting to jump head first into picking every bobbing flower in my field - to create something unique for a special person and occasion, and being inspired by my brief and wanting to make a picture that sings it out loud...this brief by @katecullenstyle. #igrewthese #slowflowers

Inspired by beautiful images of work made during the height of balmy summer days, Spring’s sowings are now well underway. A full blowsy waving vertical hedgerow inspired by the story teller @katecullenstyle and forever beautifully captured by @georgina_photo in the grounds of @broadfield_court

To soothe the wind blown late wintery days, a sunset palette from Spring last year. Also prepping and double checking this years seed collection before seeding begins in earnest as this ‘sunset palette’ - as one of my brides described it is super popular this year. 📷 @naomi.kenton.photography

We had the most beautiful full Snow Moon last night - calm before the storm? Shimmering dancing narcissi can lift any palette, velveteen muddled shades of hellebore. 📷 @naomi.kenton.photography

My design process starts months before I see a single bloom. I love planning what to plant to create a palette of textures, colours, scents and structures. The possibilities are endless, and by the time Mother Nature has added her unpredictable magic into the mix, the end result is quite unique.
It’s this connection between growing and designing that helps me understand the materials I am working with and feeds my creativity. Walking the flower beds deciding what to pick still makes me feel so happy, as if I am in conversation and collaboration with the flowers.
With the arrival of February I am ever more mindful of the packets and packets of seeds waiting to burst into life waiting, waiting - but I have learnt and now this I have to trust that February can shower golden rays and glorious days, but as ever farmer James cautions not to rush. I will wait for the longest day in February before I start to sow and sow... Here is my field, bare and waiting. 📷 @naomi.kenton.photography

The promise of yellow spring sunlight was all around us today. I love colour and in particular yellow with pink, it feels such a joyful palette to explore, and I’m so looking forward to combining a fresh and dry textured palette that I have been asked to work with a lot during the year ahead. Fresh and dry, soft and joyful, yellow and pink - and for some quiet, silvers and browns. This week I’m preparing for the year ahead and spring cleaning my first ever Wild Bunch office, hoorah no excuses for delays then! And next week back to work in the studio preparing for a lovely installation.

The promise of Spring reminds me of one of my favourite colour palette, citrus-y with shades of musky pinks.

I’m also pretty happy to have been asked to work with Mimosa lemon yellow as a base for an installation at the beautiful @dewsall.court for their open day on Saturday 15th February. More used to working behind the scenes, but we’d love you to join us, @issyandbella and myself are doing demonstrations in the afternoon...

1st February 2020, Saturday and what beautiful and almost balmy day it was. Out and about on the farm below racing clouds and gentle blue skies I fell to musing about the inspiring classes I am working on for the seasons ahead. Almost there, but January has been a month to plan and prepare for some very beautiful weddings, while February is when I start planning and sowing seeds for the garden and capturing inspiration for sharing my flowers with you in these classes.
I feel beauty lies in the flow, but there is also beauty in stillness. Capturing your living, breathing work in a photograph is an art in itself. I have been lucky to work with a number of photographers who understand how to do this. And we always work with the most inspiring photographers as part of these classes. Soon I will be able to share more. Beautiful image @naomi.kenton.photography from my celebrating the seasons Spring class last year.
