I went today for a talk on how to grow cut flowers and foliage in your garden. It was held at Kelmarsh Hall, by a lovely lady called Esther who is the head gardener there, and assisted by Tracy the assistant gardener. Over the next few months I will be getting the allotment prepared so that i can as well as vegetables grow some wonderful foliage and flowers to use in cut flower displays and bouquets in my home and for friends. I will let you know how successful things are, and what varieties are best so you can give them a try.
I have ordered a recommended seed catalogue by Moles which apparently are one of the few seed suppliers that still do a good selection for growing as cut flowers. One flower i will definitely be growing next year for my displays will be the antirrinhum (commonly known as the bunny rabbit), also some more echinea and cornflowers.
Here are some pictures taken today...showing some flower arrangements from a wedding held at Kelmarsh Hall yesterday, and the walled garden.
