Product Information

I’m hoping he will have a life-long love of nature and flowers, just as we did, growing up running free in our grandparent’s gardens. In May, it’s covered in flat creamy white flowers, and in winter the snow and ice settles in layers on the branches. There’s been laughter at times- there have been quite a few predicaments as you can imagine- and many challenges. Junior gardeners would be tasked with the job of feeding the fires and there’s one potting shed with a platform bed in the roof where the gardener would sleep as this was a 24-hour task in those days. In my lifetime, there’s never been a winter when the ice has frozen solid enough to be used like this.

But it will have another purpose for a year or two as a home for spiders, woodlice, springtails, beetles – insects that will in turn provide food for mammals such as hedgehogs, and birds. Oasis Foam Frame Posy Pad Pack of 2 - Wet Foam Dimensions: Width 20cm x Depth 6cm About this product Strong wateproof base with thick Maxlife Ideal foam to help stems live longer and preserve your arrangements. She is launching online courses this summer, and asked me to be on a trial panel for the first lesson. This year there were more nuts than they could manage, so I’ve harvested some to make into cakes and biscuits.I only found out later that I needed the other colour of oasis as the green one is meant for fresh flowers .

All bereavements are difficult to recover from, but I’ve been surprised just how much I’ve been affected by Joan’s death. They’ll flower before the trees come into leaf and then be protected from strong sunlight and heat by the tree canopy. But I feel sad that my small bunch of flowers couldn’t go on Joan’s bedside table to bring her some joy at this difficult time.It’s a new elwesii type of snowdrop with huge rounded petals and short pedicels which make the flowers look up and out rather than hang down. There’s blue Campanula poscharskyana, Phlox Blue Paradise, Nigella love-in-a-mist, and yellow Verbascum in my posy.

Growing in pots and in the ground, this lovely pink chrysanthemum puts on a reliable autumn display every year. Links on our site are monetised, it means we can keep our platform free to use, without compromising on impartiality. There have been many heartbreaking moments, but one I particularly remember is Joan thinking her father was just upstairs.

You’ll be all set for wonderful flower arranging designs, from floral scissors to pins, pin holders, glue guns and more. The petals of the rudbeckias have dropped off, but I decided to keep the stems as the dark brown stamens made interesting ‘buttons’ of colour and shape. These flowers were created by Jonathan Moseley during a demonstration at Belvoir Castle Flower and Garden Show last weekend. The foam is soaked, then secured to the base bowl with stem tape and your flowers trimmed and inserted into the foam. I am beyond excited and relieved as flowers from my garden have a special meaning for my mother-in-law Joan.
