I can’t live without being surrounded by flowers. Who doesn’t love small little jam jars filled with posies of garden flowers? Their energy makes me happy and I once read, “Show your children what makes you happy and it will make them happy too – your happiness is contagious”. I’m lucky that we all love being in the garden together planting new seeds, or gathering flowers in our baskets on weekend walks and feeling the fresh air on our faces blowing the cobwebs off! We love how each season brings us new delights and we live by them. Here’s a selection of our flowery favourites in book form helping inspire us to keep the pollinators happy!
