It was great fun at Drymen Brownies last Tuesday evening - they all put together beautiful posies for parents and teachers - this photo shows the flowers all wrapped up and waiting to go home.

About Me
- Jane
- Balfron Station, Stirlingshire, United Kingdom
- In 2000 I chucked in my job as an art gallery curator and retrained in horticulture while looking for a job outside. I am now building a business based around my twin passions - plants and fabrics - and rooted firmly in the beautiful area where I live. In the summer I grow cut flowers and herbs, in the winter I sew things from wonderful textiles. Both are sold from a van in my drive and at farmers markets. I am based near to Drymen in the Loch Lomond National Park in Scotland. I live with Euan, our two daughters Zoe and Katie, 3 cats, 1 dog, 7 chickens, 3 ducks and a rabbit.

Next year I am determined to look more thoughfully at what I plant because I like the idea of making up natural bunches for the house - I have always refrained from it because like a lot of people I think, I believed the flowers wouldn't last.
These look very pretty - and what a great hobby to introduce to little girls

Tonight is the Grand Brownie Produce Show - where Brownies compete with "Flowers in a Mug" and Animals made from vegetables. Many many Brownie mothers will have spent last night carving carrots into giraffes.
Most wild looking flowers are actually great in the vase - if it has a soft or hollow stem it is worth carefully searing the ends in just boiled water.
One of the prettiest flowers in a vase, though not one I grow in my field yet,is bindweed. I keep meaning to pick a vase of bindweed and white willowherb to confound people who dismiss wild flowers as weeds.
