My sweet posies - how I adore making them up! Every Friday morning I get to create little seasonal flower worlds that go off to brighten up your homes. It’s such a treat and a creative outlet I cherish as time often gets in the way of creativity in farming. It can be incredibly demanding and putting plants in the ground, weeding, seeding and feeding always seems to trump making a creation for the vase, so a huge thank you to everyone that stops by the wonderful Ardardan Estate farm shop to pick a bunch up.
It’s been a bit of a challenge this year with moving house and with that a large chunk of my growing space. I expected gaps especially as I did not sow any seeds this year (except amaranthus which have just gone in the earth). My perennials and overwintered plants have stood me in good stead so far 🙏🏼
I have restocked already today so there will be posies available for you tomorrow. We have big open peonies mixed with tight in bud (to extend the joy), Dutch iris in the gorgeous azure blue and a stunning rich umber, scented hesperis, some Sicilian honey garlic, a few late ranuncs, polemonium, Astrantia and heuchera flowers. Don’t forget the allium too which I’d advise you dry and use for some natural Xmas decs, huzzah! 🎉💞
