If you want something a bit wild and elegant, full of gorgeous foliage and no plastics you may want to order one of my wreaths, no two the same. If you have an idea of what you want, or want something bigger than average, get in touch, or simply order one and be surprised when you collect!
Wreaths are not just for Christmas!
Here’s a few photos to whet your appetite, fresh, dried, herby, green, there are endless combinations of wreathiness.

November Delivery
Here’s what the November delivery looked like, a big bundle of dried and preserved flowers and foliage. Lovely warm tones that will last for months, slowly fading but still retaining textures and structure.
