I’m thrilled to let you know about a gorgeous new magazine called ‘The Flower Patch’, which has hit the shelves this month in the UK and Europe!
It features wonderful ideas for growing and arranging flowers with articles by Anna and Ellie from The Flower Appreciation Society and Rachel from Catkin Flowers. Plus there are pieces by Sarah Raven and Michael Marriott from David Austin Roses.
And this first edition includes a five page article by yours truly, all about recording your flower journey using Instagram with lots of hints and tips about photographing flowers. In the article, I showcase the beautiful Instagram accounts of florists and flower growers Jo Flowers, The Blue Carrot, Floret, Green & Gorgeous, The Flower Hunter and The Garden Gate Flower Company.
