For that gap between the deciduous leaves falling and the lush evergreens of Christmas my challenge for you this weekend is go to foraging twigs and seed heads in your gardens and growing spaces. What can you find which will make a twiggery pokery arrangement? Look for interesting shapes, textures, colours, lichen, buds, seeds - all make interest in a spray of twigs in a good heavy based container. Have fun! And remember that if you share pictures of what you make on your instagram and tag me, @commonfarmflowers, I'll share some of them on my stories.
Every time any of us encourage our friends and neighbours outside to find material for cutting and arranging the ripple effect of fresh air and exercise and close looking at nature and the calming effect of working with fine motor skills makes the world a better place.
