On Friday we welcomed Lara to the Flower School with her buckets of very British flowers to collaborate on our first British Flower Day Course.
Lara from Manor Farm Cottage Flowers
After an introduction to British flowers from a grower’s perspective it was time to get hands on and create gorgeous natural hand ties as nature intended them to be. When flowers are this fresh and this seasonal, there’s no need to over style – they simply speak for themselves in all their British glory!
Just some of our flower heroes for the day included bright blue Cornflowers, deep purple and pink heavenly scented Sweet Peas, Dahlias, Zinnias and Larkspur – all of which are at their freshest right now so if you are looking for some July floral inspiration, they are a great place to start.
A big thank you to Lara for nurturing these wonderful blooms and of course to our day students who we had a blast with!
You can see more of Lara’s beautiful blooms and her styling of them via her Manor Farm Cottage Facebook page.
