NOTES
We try to utilise as much of our ‘waste’ product as possible from the garden - waste not, want not, as they say! Prunings, cutbacks, weeds - many of these natural byproducts can still have a use in our arrangements and be a beautiful nod to the season and what’s going on in the garden. This week Jess pruned all the roses which meant, for me, rosehip offcuts! We are deep into hellebore season so I chose three varieties, along with fine necklaces of ivy vine for a dishevelled ‘secret garden’ effect.
