bohemian blooms
I have had a love of plants and flowers from an early age, and I used to earn my
pocket money as a child weeding my gran's garden. She was a very knowledgeable
‘plants woman’ and I absorbed so much from spending time with her. My mum also
loved flowers, and it was her ambition to fill every room of her house with them
all year round; she never quite managed it! Building on their passion, I decided
to take up the gauntlet, and started to grow seasonal flowers from seed. I
became addicted, and was soon making bouquets for friends and selling flowers
and plants at my garden gate. It was here that I met my first bride-to-be who
was buying one of my posies. We started chatting and she casually asked me if I
would do her wedding flowers. She liked the fresh, scented, pretty flowers that
were not available on the high street. My cottage garden flowers lent themselves
so beautifully to a natural, free-flowing design… I immediately said yes, and
have never looked back.
