It’s been a tough summer with the constant heat, & some of the flowers have struggled to survive. Some of my seasonal favourites, such as nigella, scabious & dahlias have not lasted well.
My garden flowers, herbs & foliage are always a feature of my signature bouquets. I loved the twisty, trailing stems, textures, seed heads & the scent of the lavender, mint, oregano & myrtle.
The season is about to change, & we move from the pinks & purples colour palette to a more autumnal feel, with reds, oranges, golds & rusts with deep shades of green. It reflects the golden quality of the autumn sunshine. I’ll go foraging for conkers, sweet chestnuts, sloe berries & branches & dried grasses.
