Spring Table - bottles…

Using a cluster of various little bottles & stems of foliage and/or flowers is a wonderfully flexible and versatile way to decorate your table in any season.

The beauty of the little bottles is that you can group them together to create a main centrepiece or group in little clusters down the centre of a longer table.

If you’re creating a large centrepiece which you would like to remove when you’re eating then pop the bottles on a plate or tray when you’re arranging, this can be easily lifted off as one.

The bottles can flow throughout the house; dotted on hall tables and arranging larger clusters where you would like more impact.

Pop candles in bottles too, adding different sizes and scale to create interest.

I have used a limited colour palette of clear glass with green and white foliage and flowers. By doing this it means you can afford to be quite wild with the design and let the foliage do its own thing… in this case Spirea.

We have plenty of little bottles, both new and vintage which will create an easy yet interesting Tablescape whatever the season.

Spring Arrangement…

Flowering Spring bulbs are a fabulous way to create a centre piece with impact … so easy to do and once the flowers have finished doing their thing, plant the bulbs in the garden to enjoy next year…

Téte a téte are gorgeously sunny & bright; the foraged silver birch breaks up the arrangement giving it a more organic feel and a bit of movement.

Other flowering bulbs or spring plants can obviously be used depending on your choice of colour palette or feel that you are going for… Muscari in white or blue have an upright form initially becoming more wild & organic as they mature, as do tulips which come in a variety of colours & sizes.

We have fabulous flowering bulbs and plants which can be used; Muscari, téte a téte, violas, Anemone Blande and plenty containers (I used a salad bowl…)

Plant Supports...

It’s that time of year when you are possibly starting to plan your garden; planning your planting, reflecting on what your garden looked like last year... the good bits the bad bits the bits that went a bit mad and need a little bit of support?

We have just what you need with our beautifully crafted steel plant supports.

Made in Britain, these plant supports are dipped to create an attractive rusty finish which also helps to protect the steel; they blend into the background of your garden leaving the plants to show themselves off.

The supports can be left outside all year long which provides a fabulous structure to your borders in the winter months.

Small H 1.25m £40
Medium H 1.50m £46
Large H 1.75m £52
X-Large H 2m £62
