At dyg, we do sometimes take a break! Here are some beautiful, natural and informal flower arrangements made by Anthea for weddings and other events. All the flowers were grown in Co Wickow. Arrangements of 'real' flowers like these are like the best home cooking - fresh and local and with a depth that you simply don't get from mass-produced flowers. These are flowers that don't normally make it into the flower shops because they don't travel well enough......
Winter isn't exactly the time you associate with the garden, but there are a few very special plants which come into their own at this time of year.
