Looking back to last summer’s floral installation for
@flowersonthe.edge exhibition with beautiful shots of our work by
@helenwarnerphotography
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Designed as a love letter to our daughter and the way she wanders through the garden - tasting her way through pink-currants, peppermint, alpine strawberries, guava, dill, and lemon verbena.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s also a tribute to family, especially to Sula’s dad, who starts the seeds here at Nice Bunch and has always pushed the boundaries of what’s possible to grow on our patch. From his fruitarian youth to his radical ideas about how food can be shared in community, he reminds us every day why we do this.

This piece was meant to be delicious, and seeing so many (especially the children) tasting and enjoying was the biggest reward.

Special thanks to:
@maeveoliviaflowers for cutting and conditioning with us last summer’s sweltering heat. Harisudha, Sula’s mum, for preserving the alpine strawberries (at least until opening night).
@floralfabrications Nathan for our incredible frame.
@foredays Caroline, for your gorgeous and inviting bowls.
@oak_and_wren_flowers Edy, thank you for the top up of beautiful foliage and grasses.
@aliciatennant_flowers for flowering with us. You always make us feel calm 🫶
