16.05.2022 The palette is shifting slowly towards Autumn. Flowers and cake are always a winning combination. Peach cake with sweet dukkah. #slowsimpleseasonal #aseasonalyear #gardeninspiredfloristry #gardengathered #realflowersoftheseason #seasonalfloralstyle #ayearinmygarden #homegrownflowers #thmwa #thehostingmasterclass #albanyflorist #albanyfloraldesigner #airbnbalbany #airbnbriverdale1898 #riverdale1898 #riverdalefarm #theartofhomemaking

02.05.2022 Called in for bouquet holding duty! I couldn't manage to keep up with garden jobs without Jim's help... Bouquet for Saturday's bride on a day when the temperature hit a very unpleasant 44.2 degrees.

20.04.2022 Seasonal bouquet of garden gathered goodness for a recent bride E.

06.04.2022 Pretty spring brights for the bridal table in a family silver bowl. A treat to create arrangements in heirloom pieces with significance. #riverdalefarmalbany #gsweddings #thmwa #thehostingmasterclass #albanycreatives #albanywa #albanyfloraldesigner #albanyflorist #seedtovase #gardengathered #locally grown #grown not flown #sustainablefloristry #no floral foam #underthefloralspell #localandseasonalflowers

16.03.2022 A very soggy start to winter this week, which means pruning is about to begin Our tanks are overflowing which is unheard of at this time of the year. A couple of months of hard graft coming our way!

07.03.2022 An autumn collection of blooms for an elopement. Focus has now shifted towards a break...time to reflect on the past season and contemplate the next!

26.02.2022 It is a joy to create a bouquet for an elopement. Picked from our garden and deliciously scented! 2020 has been a popular year for small heartfelt ceremonies.

17.02.2022 The end of the flower season is upon us...I have enjoyed creating bouquets for bridal parties, hosting women in my studio for floral design workshops and hosting guests in our Airbnb Riverdale1898. Almost time for a break with Jim, without his help none of it would be possible.

29.01.2022 I love the simplicity of rural Australian sheds, in my opinion they make great wedding venues. Dressed with spring blooms they look beautiful. Raw, authentic and honest. Holly our wonderful photographer has captured this Vow Renewal perfectly. Up on our blog today.

23.01.2022 The last of the blooms for the season, pulling out, cutting back and planting for spring is now underway. We have been busy at the cottage painting some lovely improvements completed recently by @docking_builders ready for guests on the long weekend and beyond now that our intrastate borders have been relaxed.

13.01.2022 The arrival of our dahlias has meant a shift from soft pastels to sherbet summery tones. We hope everyone is winding down for an enjoyable Christmas despite the Covid disappointments for many of us.
