Flowers From Dads Garden

expand all pictures

Mid January I made this little arrangement of sugar flowers in memory of my Dad. All taken from my childhood memories of the garden at home. Every leaf and flower has a memory of him. I would get told off for raiding the cabbages looking for caterpillars, so I included a decorative cabbage, the roses , I made perfume with the petals. Never worked! Lol. Anyway, this arrangement was inspired from Dad’s garden, and I think he’d have been pleased.

Ah that rose petal perfume (we used to try and sell it to ladies passing our garden gate). These are amazing, as ever.

I think its quite possibly the best arrangement I have ever seen. You are a master! Your dad is here in you. Like my mum xox They were both such incredible gardeners!
