The first posy

There will be flowers now in the garden until the end of the year. This is the first posy from the garden and oh it feels so nice picking these colourful little Spring flowers. The garden I’m currently custodian of - since we’re only renting but we can do whatever we want to the garden, seriously, we have the best landlords - so this garden once belonged to a gardener. How I love this thought. In the Spring, it’s full of all the flowers you see here. I added lots of hellebores myself and there are no narcissi growing in the garden but I always grow them in pots. One day, in my own garden, these flowers will grow too, in the orchard where I’ll leave the grass long..

There will be flowers now in the garden until the end of the year. And around me, outside the garden too, so many beautiful ones. This year I’m photographing two books with two wonderful flower growers. I feel extremely lucky for calling this my work but also because I know I’ll learn so much from them. The only thing though I cannot seem to learn at all is making bouquets. So I’m going to stick to these little posies. I always find it easy to arrange them in a vase and then take them out from the vase and voilà, the posy is done.

There will be flowers now in the garden until the end of the year. It’s sometimes hard work but most of the time just pure happiness. Nothing relaxes me more than working in the garden (oh! or taking pictures in the/a garden) and I do love brining in flowers, branches, green leaves, anything. But I also love brining home bits from my walks. I came across this beautiful cherry plum tree yesterday..

There will be flowers now in the garden until the end of the year. I’m planning to make a posy every month and also very regurarly photograph the garden. I promise.
