Greetings from the cutting garden!

Flowers from the garden! This week all the ingredients in our beautiful posies are homegrown except the scented stocks - which have been grown in a nursery in the Midlands. May is a good time for a flush of British flowers, although the exceptionally dry spring has put the plants under a lot of pressure. We were very pleased for the downpour yesterday! We have homegrown ‘Sarah Bernhardt’ peonies which will open for you, which are a pretty pink ruffled flower with a delicate sweet scent.

And we’ve got lots of other lovelies tucked in the arrangements too, namely sweet williams, roses, apple mint, rosemary, physocarpus, varigated pittosporum, allium and epimedium. I hope you enjoy them.
