We are making some of our dried flower rings which make a lovely addition to any interior, whether looking for a that finishing touch on a wall, above a mantle or on door. This Summer styled ring includes Roses, Marjoram, pink Rhodante, Sage & Eucalyptus. We only use plant based material and never artificial! Okay it won’t last a life time, but would you want it too? Keep dried materials out of sunlight and they do keep their colour better but will inevitably fade. If a little dusty, simply use a cool hair dryer to remove the dust. Much better for the environment than plastic flowers! Shop interior – handmade purple sack cushions, handy little French shelf & St Eval candle pots ‘Geranium’ & ‘Tabac’ fragrance. Green & Galvanised – ‘Mind your own business’ Soleirolia soleirolii displayed in little chicken feeders. We are often asked how to keep these plants; for indoor growing, somewhere cool and away from direct sunlight. Rain water is best, fill a small bowl and stand the pot in, once it has stopped bubbling remove and leave to drain. Better to under water than to over water a plant. Allow the pot to dry out slightly between watering. A bit of plant tonic applied to the water wouldn’t do any harm from April-September. Alternatively you can grow outside as a ground cover, although it can be invasive so choose your spot carefully.
