What to do when you took a commission in July for a pale pink and summery look, but the autumn light, which you'd forgotten would be so influential, and the turning foliage, makes the look of your work quite different from the original order? After all, the dahlias and roses are still flowering, they are used in this commission, but there's no doubting these are autumn flowers.
Join flower farmer and florist Georgie Newbery of Common Farm Flowers in Somerset (zone 8) as she creates these beautiful flowers for a hen party using only what she has in her late summer garden, and maybe be inspired to go out and cut some flowers for your own #30stemchallenge. It's a great idea to cut flowers from your own garden and make a posy for your table, and as the season slows here in the northern hemisphere, it's an opportunity to bathe your eyes in the last of the flowers' colours, get close to the garden, take a bit of fresh air and exercise, and create something beautiful: win win win!
Be inspired by this clip and when you've made a posy, do share on your instagram if you have an account and I'll share some of the images on my stories. I love to see #30stemchallenges from all around the world, so go for it!
