A CUT FLOWER BLOG
​​​​​​​​​​I fell in love with gardening during lockdown, similar to a lot of people – I discovered a newfound appreciation for the outdoor space we had.​​
​​​​​​​​
I started to grow some vegetables from seed (pumpkins…wow they can get BIG!) and quickly decided that we needed a veg patch.
As well as the pumpkins, I grew tomatoes, potatoes, sprouts and some lettuce. I started devouring Gardener’s World on a regular basis and towards the end of the year, I developed a flower border with some nice perennials. Given it was late on in the year, the focus really was on evergreen so that we’d have some winter interest.

​
I didn’t set out to become flower-obsessed! It all started with a few seed packets but something just clicked.
​
Favourite Flower?
​
Starting with the toughest question for a cut flower junkie...I can whittle it down to three or four (am I cheating?!)
So, peonies, ranunculus, tulips and roses, of course! That's this month's faves anyway!
Favourite Season?
​
Another tricky one but I think that I would have to say Spring because the garden comes to life with colour and new beginnings and lot's of hope for the blooms to come.
Must-Have Garden Accessory?
​
This has got to be my soil blockers! They help be grow sow many seedings in quite a small space and I love how happy and healthy the seed babies are in them!
What is Your Gardening Guilty Pleasure?
​
Hands down for me, this has to be my vase addiction! Many a lovely Saturday morning is spent in local charity shops in search for the latest vase haul!
​
I'm quickly running out of space, I'd say I have around 100 vases - maybe I need a bigger house?!
Annuals VS Perennials ​
​
100% can't choose, it simply has to be both!
I'm always happy to chat all things garden and get to know fellow flower lovers! Here's a few ways that you can get in touch!
