Busy and Happy

5th June 2017 By Holly Bee

Busy & Happy

I’ve had a busy month or so since I last wrote, the garden has come on leaps and bounds, and is currently having a well deserved drink (read: it’s raining heavily!) I’ve had the pleasure of doing flowers for some beautiful weddings, I’ve started doing local bouquets again, and given demonstrations at local gardening clubs too. And I even met my flower hero- Sarah Winward. This was at a dream-like afternoon workshop in Yorkshire with the ever-so lovely Fiona form Firenza Floral Design, and the ladies from Holme flowers (the workshop was held at their incredible Farm near Thirsk). So it’s been busy, but oh so satisfying as well. Ooh and the roses are just starting to flower too so there’s that to look forward to…

My turn at a ‘large urn’. Looking forward to seeing professional pictures from Holly at Belle and Beau, rather than my hurried snaps!

Spring 2017

21st March 2017 By Holly Bee

Spring 2017

It’s a beautiful day here in Devon, and things are starting to bloom, which makes me very happy! We have incredible anemones,  the ranunculus are just starting to flower, and lots of narcissi, muscari, tulips and fritillaries are just round the corner. I’ll get back into posting more often soon, now I’ll have flowers to photograph again. In the meantime, here are some of the early flowers from the past few weeks…

Happy Christmas

16th December 2016 By Holly Bee

Happy Christmas from Holly-Bee

December has been a whirlwind: along with markets and weddings we hosted our first ever workshop- making beautiful Christmas wreaths. It was such a fun and creative morning,  and I was bowled over at the stunning end results! We loved hosting the workshop so much that we’re busy planning more for next year, using our beautiful garden flowers: keep your eyes peeled for further announcements…

We’ve also been making wreaths for some of our lovely customers- some of the results pictures below. I love doing them, completely absorbing and intricate, but lots of fun 🙂

Finally, here’s wishing everybody a wonderful festive season, and an exciting 2017!

September Dahlias

20th September 2016 By Holly Bee

September Dahlias

Hello from Holly-Bee. It seems like an age since I last posted anything, so thought I would share some goings-on from our Devon flower garden. Summer has gone by in a blur (seriously we’ve no idea how it slipped by so quickly) and now we’re on our way to autumn, and winding the garden down. But for now we’ve still got lots of gorgeous seasonal flowers. The complete stars at this time of year are the Dahlias… Bolshie and showy, but with such charm and with such a variety to choose from; I feel like there is a dahlia to suit any taste or colour palette and I love them! I’ve tried to document the dahlias we’ve grown this year, noting down where I think there may be gaps in terms of colour or shapes, and create next year’s wish list already: keen. Below are some images of this year’s favourites (having looked over them there is a definite peach theme coming through!..
