Spangelo Flower Farm

Flower farming can be repetitive and exhausting. Now, when I’m tired, I need food, and I can feel my spirits dipping, I play this game. I love that colour is such an intrinsic aspect of my job. And I love looking and experimenting and seeing what feels good. More and more for me it is about tones.

My theme for the farm this year is to become a better grower, ie to learn more about the plants! After 20 years of growing I am reminded every day how much I don’t know. This simple melange of stems on my kitchen counter is answering so many questions. And of course I get to add bits of beauty as well. Not “designed” so no pressure to look professional, just quick snips of stems I’d like to get to know better. Happy Thursday!
