UNTAMED BEAUTY

Wildflowers offer an expressive mix of shape, texture, colour and scent when brought together in an informal arrangement. Whilst they lack the refinement of a perfectly cultivated rose or the magnificent drama of a peony, a collection of meadow blooms, freshly picked and presented in a favourite pitcher, has a relaxed, cheerful charm that instantly sets a bucolic tone. Growing wildflowers at home is the perfect option for a ready supply (see page 120 for our guide to meadow-style gardens). It is also not illegal to forage for wildflowers in public spaces for personal use, however, check for guidance and restrictions on nature reserves and cultivated flowers, and never uproot plants.
