It's all happening!

This is my first blog in a while, there's been so much going on, even in Lockdown, and there's so much more to come. Funny how life tends to be all or nothing isn't it? After a whole year of Lockdown soon we'll be able to meet up with our friends, go to the pub, open our shops ...

Keeping bees: "a fascinating hobby"

For the past few years we humans have been celebrating World Bee Day, an event that reminds us that we depend on bees for our very survival and perhaps this year more than most we should be grateful for these little protectors of our planet.

Colour experts Pantone have named “classic blue” the colour for 2020 which made me think about all of the beautiful blue flowers nature has given us.

Inspired by Bluebells

How richly we prize short-lived flowers such as Paeonies and Cherry Blossom, and perhaps none more so than beautiful bluebells.

They say that everything comes at once, and it certainly seems that way in the world of floristry where Mother’s Day signals the second major event in our calendar.

The beauty of succulents

Easy on the eye and and low on maintenance, it's no wonder succulents are so popular right now. They're so easy to care for and so undemanding of our time that they are just perfect for our busy lifestyles.
