An Everyday Arrangement
Welcome to a new theme of posts here at Lark Rose, An Everyday Arrangement - all about filling your home with flowers. No formal arrangements or specific skills required, just encouragement and ideas for putting flowers on all available surfaces.
I’m not a florist. I’m a gardener who started a cut flower patch, grew more flowers than she could possibly use, and ended up with a micro flower farm as an excuse to grow even more. I’ve accumulated a wide and eclectic range of vases and containers since I started in 2020, but I’m just as happy with an empty bottle if it makes the right stem look beautiful. We’re all about playing with flowers and making home prettier. Any corner of your home is fair game for flowers!
What you’ll see here is my real house. I tidy up a bit for photos, but there’s no special prep, and not even flowers could make the mountain of shoes in my hall look better. I’m planning to spend this growing season deliberately flooding my house with flowers and I want you to join in. Hopefully I’ll inspire you for everyday flowers as well as giving you ideas for parties and events.
Here at Lark Rose, it’s all about sustainable flowers. I’m encouraging you to raid the garden, or even start growing your own cut flowers (and we’ll be spending time in my home cutting garden), but if you’re buying flowers please think about where they come from. Most flowers sold in the UK aren’t grown here, or even in the Netherlands, but are from much further afield, which matters as our energy and climate crises deepen. You can find your local grower at Flowers from the Farm, and if you’re in the South Ayrshire area give me a shout!
