Something a little bit different today…three bunches of flowers for you from my garden. I’m not an expert arranger, I just really enjoy mixing flowers, colours and foliage together. It also showcases what’s in flower and the foliage available in my garden at the moment.  

Using what’s available and looking good in my garden means that I can make arrangements that are unique – not many (if any) of these plants are available to a florist. Bringing them in to the house means that I see the details in the flowers, leaves and seedheads that I wouldn’t normally notice while they’re in the garden. 

Across the three bunches I’ve used… 

herbs: chive (flower buds), sweet cicely 

perennials: hellebores, forget-me-nots, primroses, solomon’s seal,  

shrubs: two types of spirea, redcurrants, japanese/ornamental quince 

tree blossom: pear, cherry
