A Step Back to My Potting Shed Days 🌱
When I was in college, one of my favourite jobs in Spring was working in the potting shed, creating beautiful spring bulb arrangements. There was something truly magical about this time of year—working with fresh plants, lush moss, and delicate flowers that symbolised new beginnings.
The potting shed itself was a quaint little workspace tucked right next to the glasshouses. It had an old-world charm where everything had its place: shelves stacked high with terracotta and ceramic pots, rolls of rustic twine, rods full of ribbons, and trays of vibrant bulbs ready to be planted. It felt like stepping into a scene from a timeless garden story.
One of my favourite tasks was carefully manipulating chicken wire to create topiary trees, bringing structure and whimsy to our arrangements. There was such joy in pulling together all the elements—layering bulbs, soft moss, and carefully arranging stems—to craft spring pots and planters for homes, hotels and gardens. It felt like sculpting nature itself.
Even now, that time inspires me. There’s still an excitement in the simplicity of creating something beautiful for spring—whether it’s a card, a craft project, or a blooming planter.
So, whether you’re crafting with paper or soil, take a little time to embrace the creativity and calm that comes with working on spring creations.
