Beauty rooted in responsibility
Sustainably and locally sourced foliage
Each winter I search out fresh greenery which is being pruned, cut and removed in line with the seasons needs. I collect it, and use as much as possible in my creations.
Dried flowers are also sourced locally, usually from our local allotment!
Sustainably harvested hazel
My bases are predominantly made using hazel, which is a by-product of the fencing industry and harvested as part of the natural maintenance cycle of these trees.
Natural sheep wool fibre
The wreath bases are covered with sheep wool, which retains moisture without feeling damp, keeping foliage fresher for longer. This wool is a natural result of yearly shearing, an integral practice of the sheep rearing industry. I source it from a reputable UK producer, washed and dried.
Biodegradable twine & ribbon
I use biodegradable jute twine, and ribbon made from cotton, wood pulp, or jute, all of which naturally break down without leaving harmful residues.
