My horticultural ventures have changed quite a lot in the past year. I’ve written a blog post about my journey into Social and Therapeutic Horticulture. I can’t wait to share more as it continues into the future 💚🌱🪴🌻

I have home grown herbs and a bunch of stuff in the cupboards so here’s my traditional/unconventional made up, vegan, stay-at-home pesto.

🌸💛 The first rose 💛🌸

The name primrose means ‘first rose’ and I think that’s so fitting. Up on my blog is a little shout out to one of the most beautiful edible flowers in bloom right now.

“When gorse is out of bloom, kissing is out of season”.

When gorse is in bloom, make refreshing gorse flower cordial and floral ice 🌼🍋🍹

Over on my blog is a little how to make this drink https://t.co/CtvkDSxjSX

I heard Amy say in a podcast that she had waited nearly a decade to write this book. On Flowers: Lessons from an Accidental Florist is testament to doing something at the right time for the most perfect result. I have written a blog post about why I loved this book so much.

🌷The connections plants make🌷

Plants connect us in all kinds of ways beyond bunches of flowers. I wrote a little something about it on my blog 🌱💚

Wow, the weather is really nasty here in Nottingham today. We have 60mph winds with hail 🥶 So, after being reminded of it recently and because spring is just around the corner, I’m revisiting this flower pounded top over on my blog https://t.co/CtvkDSxjSX

❄️🍂Wintertime 🍂❄️
Never in a million years would I have thought I'd enjoy winter but here it is, a happier time than those before. I've written a blog post about some seasonal habits helping me keep the winter blues away https://t.co/CtvkDSxjSX

I’m taking a break from growing edible flowers this year to explore other horticultural adventures. A huge thank you to everyone who has supported my business since 2016 and here’s to more lovely, plants and flowers goodness in 2020! Happy New Year! https://t.co/HsB1bOc7pp

I am blown away by the artistry of the cake makers who use my edible flowers in such amazing ways. This stunning woodland theme cake was created by Silvia at Fairypan for her niece’s 1st birthday. Woodland cakes are the future 🤩🙌🍄🌲🐿🥀🌼🌸 #londonbakery #edibleflowers

@Perfect10PR Thank you! 🌸💕

I feel like it’s some kind of small miracle that any flowers survived the incredibly heavy rain this week, never mind these pink and white mixes. I’ve had quite a few pink and white requests already this season. Is it this year’s colour trend, I wonder?
