AUTUMN

SEPTEMBER | OCTOBER | NOVEMBER

Late summer and spicy pops of red and pink sizzle among the garden beds, shimmering grasses sway and fruits ripen. The air hums with thousands of insects moving busily amongst the plants. Spoilt for choice, this is a time for abundant arrangements in flamboyant palettes, embracing jewel colours, crispy, fluffy and velvety textures and autumn leaves in all their glory - streaked, fading, freckled and beginning to fall.

Arranging flowers is experimental and joyful, a chance to be in the moment. As such, these recipes are not intended to be replicated stem by stem. We hope to encourage you to embrace seasonality wherever you are in the world, using what is available from your garden, local florist, flower or farmers’ market, and to introduce you to some special plants along the way. For reference we grow flowers in Hampshire, UK (hardiness zone USDA 8/RHS H4) with a mixture of outdoor and tunnel planting.
