Katherine’s Flowers

August 2022

July and August have been the most productive months on the cut flower plot so far. Annuals such as Cornflowers, Scabious and Amaranthus have finally enjoyed the warm weather.  Sunflowers and Dahlias started half way through August and will hopefully be still going strong into September. My periennal Achillea and Astrantia are some of my favourites. I hope they will be back bigger and better next year (if they survive the winter wet!)

I loved helping some of my floristry friends in Skipton prepare wedding flowers at the end of July. The brief was homegrown blooms so I took along a few buckets from the plot and garden. It was lovely seeing some of my flowers end up in bouquets, buttonholes and table decorations for the big day!
