    Thank you for explaining the eco system of supporting small farmers and how important it is to buy local and small business ❤❤❤

    Good morning Georgie, here In Melbourne Australia we are having 28 degrees today. I don’t grow willows they are very invasive here in Australia I grow grapes so I made my wreaths out of grape vine canes when I pruned last year. They turned out great. I made four out of the small grape vine that I have. Thank you for a nice video. Great leg work❤

    I’ve had a Common Farm Flowers wreath for 10 years, it’s still going strong and I decorate with my own garden foliage and bits and bobs every year. 🎄

    You have designed/created a circular economy business (example Fogo Island Inn). It’s one of the best economic models for environmental/economic/social sustainability. It’s really impressive!

    Looks lovely Georgie.We make our own at the Patchworking Garden Charity here in Dorking to sell to raise funds for the charity as well as being a lovely creative day when volunteers have the opportunity to play around with all kinds of foiliage we've gathered from the garden, nearby fields and kind folk have brought in from their gardens. It all goes towards supporting locals at the garden of all ages.

    We have so removed ourselves from nature, that we’ve forgotten how symbiotic we and nature are. I simply admire your knowledge and dedication to following through on so many threads that benefit our natural friends and your business. It’s lovely to see.

    Do You sell your crab apples by the kg? Or by «bunch» or by branch ?
