Unexpected lessons from flower arranging

Unexpected lessons from flower arranging

Last week I spent a delightful couple of hours in a Garden to Vase flower arranging workshop with the brilliant Annie Jenkins.

We’d arranged it as a birthday treat for my mum, and 5 of us followed Annie around her garden - finding out all about the different plant varieties, how to cut them, and what to do with them.

We then sat, played, chatted and created in the sunshine. It was a complete treat, a wonderful shared experience, and a fun creative process.

Who can you dive straight in with?

Who can you dive straight in with?

You know those people in your life?

The ones you have a rich shared history or an instant understanding with?

The people who bring out the best in you, who it’s easy to be completely yourself with, and talk about anything and everything?

The people who you can dive straight in with without getting lost - from the start or after many years?

They’re simply your people, and they are a complete gift.
