My order book for seasonal wreaths is now open! It

My order book for seasonal wreaths is now open! It closes on 10 December, so if you’re nearby and would like to order one of my door wreaths please do get in touch.
Each is unique; made-to order from home grown, foraged, and sustainably sourced British foliage - with additional natural touches such as cones, seedheads and ribbon. Zero plastic.
My own from last year (pic) is still on my living room wall - a bit crispy and brown, but still looking lovely.
Local delivery or collection available.

Penultimate practical job of the year for me.

Have had to make the difficult decision that, from 2022, I’ll be concentrating on planting design side of my work, for health reasons.

Much still flower at this garden. Hard to believe I designed and planted this only months ago…

If you want to encourage bees and pollinators to your garden, and extend the flowering season, Hylotelephiums (Sedum) are an absolute must. Their foliage looks great from spring onwards and they’re just getting into their stride as most other things are fading away.

This is H. Herbstfrude ‘Autumn joy’ and it’s absolutely teeming with honeybees, hover flies and bumbles - three, four, five per flower head.
