SPRING

MARCH | APRIL | MAY

The first tentative flowers of the year seem impossibly delicate, appearing through the frozen soil as midwinter finally begins to melt into much-longed-for spring. Nodding snowdrops, honey and lemon scented daffodils, tiny flecks of blossom on spindling branches. In March and April, our flower arrangements strive to capture that cautious sense of emergence but by May, as the season really gets underway, they are in full party mode.

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.
