Postings from the plot ...
As autumn leaves and colours give way to a crisper, more wintry feel our attention turns to seasonal ingredients for our wreaths – and festive foraging. We love showing people how to create a plastic-free, festive wreath using our home-grown willow and an abundance of winter foliage – but there’s still room for a bit […]
Rosehips for wreath making?
We still have some left! These beautiful jewel-like hips have been slowly dried, which means there is no fear of them turning mushy, squishy or mouldy on a wreath.

We are currently planning our 2025 workshops & would love to hear what YOU want to learn!
.
We’ve taught (to name a few) bouquet making, seed sowing, flower printing, dried flower crafting & wreath making this year. Plus our affordable spring evening talks in sustainable floristry techniques & a year in the life of a flower farmer with Jen & Bek.
.
Offering a fresh & exciting menu of workshops is important to us, so what skill or craft do you want to learn. Do you know a talented craftsperson who could visit us and teach a workshop…something horticulture/plant or flower related would be perfect. We teach in a relaxed & friendly way, with an emphasis on gentle education about sustainability & growing to protect our planet.
Tag them below.

We have taken the plunge to plant a row of eucalyptus on our foliage plot. Thanks go to @hardyeucalyptus.hilary for the healthy plants, inspiration and support over the phone and email. Hilary has written wonderful new book on how to grow eucalyptus in the UK.
.
We have planted several different varieties to be cut at different times of the year. We augered 60cm deep holes & backfilled them with soil and composted woodchip. This is to encourage the baby trees to root deep in the ground. It’s these deep roots that help eucalyptus trees get through cold winters. We mulched the trees with sheep fleece from a local farmer and then mypex, to kill off the grass as eucalyptus don’t like any competition.
Bek has got a year to work out what to put down instead of grass once the Mypex comes up.
.
So fingers crossed for a mild winter to get these off to a flying start!

Are you a forager? We love how our gardens, the hedgerows & further afield can give a bounty of interesting seasonal delights.
.
Our latest blog, written by Jen, explains why now is our favourite time of year to forage & what we have our eye on, how we encourage it to add extra details to festive arrangements, as well as tips on how to forage responsibly.

By popular demand we are running another Christmas table centre workshop. Using foam and moss-free techniques, you will learn how to fill a festive container with fresh, abundant Christmas foliage, herbs, seed heads and rosehips. You’ll be able to pick from our plot to make your centrepieces truly unique. We’ll show you how to decorate round and long tables, the use of candles and accessories, how to use foliage in and out of water and discuss how to look after your table centres to ensure they look stunning throughout the festive period.
Your centrepieces will be finished with a beautiful hand-made Christmas candle, adding that touch of ‘hygge’ we love.
You will make one centrepiece during the workshop, but we will have all materials on sale if you wish to make more at home.
£79 covers & materials & refreshments.
Book via our website.
