With so much evergreen foliage, holy, berries and twigs around, we do not have to go far to find some of the basics needed for creating wonderful Christmas displays.

If you are creating an arrangement with a seasonal theme using British grown or wild fauna,  we would love to feature your display and give you a mention.

Use the contact us page to send your pictures and some information about yourself or organisation.
