I love the added folk knowledge when it's given (Beltane, May hawthorne flowers). 🙏Those crowns absolutely dreamy, and the venue was breathtaking. Canada seems very new and dull in comparison. I watch all your videos, and this one is my favorite so far. Thank you. 🙏🩷

I’ve just been taking cuttings after your very informative video. I’m getting more proficient at hand tying arrangements too,all thanks to your wisdom. So nice to watch your nature focused videos,always a bee 🐝 or butterfly 🦋 mentioned 🤗 Flower crowns are such a beautiful link to our sisters from long ago 💐 👑 🌾

My daughter was married on a rainy day in the Lake District! They are still happily married 10 years on and she wore a flower crown too. It was a very delicate one and she looked beautiful. Thankyou Georgie for a beautiful video as always xx

[@theflowerfarmer]

Lovely story xxx

[@aswinthasteketee5771]

Great video. And great advise. People are much to clean, I don't take a shower every day. You are so right, when you say something like that people think you are weird, like that's an insult 😂😁😏. Beautiful crowns 😍👌

[@theflowerfarmer]

Absolutely!! - I'd rather be weird myself though xxx

[@christinezarvis4761]

Once again, I’m in awe of your mastery. Just incredibly beautiful. 😊

[@theflowerfarmer]

Wow, thank you! x

[@5apph1b1u3]

Those are beautiful crowns. Thanks for showing us the setting! I think it was one of the settings for the Pride and Prejudice (2005) movie where Mr. Darcy declares how ‘ardently’ he admires and loves Elizabeth and she tells him she never desired his good opinion. But, stunning views from that location!

[@theflowerfarmer]

My pleasure - Stourhead's an amazing spot and I'm sure it's been in lots of films xxx

[@molindacraig2266]

The head designs are lovely and well constructed. Concerning daily/regular bathing of the entire body, is not only rejuvenating to the body because it removes oils that have clogged pores, but it removes dust mites, and other pests that attach themselves. Water and appropriate rubbing of the skin refresh and help to keep it younger looking. Bedding stays cleaner therefore sleep and rest is better. And your mate will appreciate it, and will encourage him/her to do the same.

[@theflowerfarmer]

Glad you liked the crowns xxx

[@sarahsnyder3798]

Love your cotton blouses 😊

[@theflowerfarmer]

Thank you! 😊 x

[@susanwondergem4014]

Thank you once again for sharing your magical creations. Your passion for the environment and sustainability is inspiring. As a full time gardener living off the grid I, too, shun daily changes of attire and tend to shower only when going somewhere. The flower crowns are beautiful and truly a testament to your skills as a florist.

[@theflowerfarmer]

Thankyou - I agree that a shower or bath on special occasions is a treat xxx

[@esterrivera2281]

Warm, wet and dark areas of the body are most likely to capture smells/odors as they are ideal for bacteria, including the underarms and other areas of the body. Flowers require frequent watering for maintaining their beauty and scent. 🌸

[@theflowerfarmer]

ah yes - and those areas on a person can be dealt with with a flannel from time to time - flaars need fresh water to drink every day - as do I xxx

Georgie , can overseas viewers join your club? Love going with you out in the garden when you harvest. Wow beautiful crowns they are stunning. You look like a goddess of the wine😅 Thank you for showing us the estate it’s beautiful.

I love your stance on clothes changing and showering too! No unfollwers here. I must also say that I LOVE your dishes on the wall behind you. I'm new to watching you, but have already watched several. Your channel was mentioned in a US cut flower group. Love what you're doing!

[@theflowerfarmer]

Thank you so much! x

[@lovelyrainflowerfarm]

You know Georgie, you always say that watching you build a bouquet (or whatever) in real-time would be boring to us, but I guarantee you that 99% of us would watch that process with faces like this 🤤 with absolute pleasure lol. but truly, all us garden people, LOVE watching longer content with detail. So maybe try a full length work video at least once? And see what the response is like? PLEASE 🙏 🥹

[@theflowerfarmer]

lol - it would be HOURS! I try and add a bit of detail every time but the awful truth is that I am always actually doing my job and sometimes making a thing in reality and making a thing for a film are not compatible - one has to keep the film watchers in mind when making and in reality one folds oneself over this work very focused and the exciting bit isn't really visible - I do hold wreath making and hand tie demos relatively often and you can book a place on my website for those - lots of wreathing coming up for the autumn and Christmas for example - hope to see you there xxx

[@lynnej7219]

I am retired so don’t usually get hot and sweaty now. If clean and non smelly I will wear a top again a few days later, so maybe three tops over a week and my skirts get worn multiple times between washes. I find natural fabrics work much better than polyester and the like. Showers for me for years, and a timer so I am in and out quickly. Verbena has taken over my allotment and I have been offering plants to everyone I know but some will be sacrificed to plant my veg next year. Beautiful crowns, I love them and they looked good on you😁

[@theflowerfarmer]

So agree re natural fabrics doing better xxx

You are a mine of information and the crowns are gorgeous,the bees and butterflies too,thank you for that😃

[@patriciakeys4873]

I also live out in the country but I usually wear the same leggings and long sleeve shirt while working out in the garden in the morning because of the mosquito bites and some other small creature bites for about a week. I'll change to another set if they get really dirty. Then, after coming in for the day to work on indoor projects, I'll change to the clothes I wear say if I need to go to the store for something. Even then, the second set of clothes doesn't get dirty so I'll wear them for about 3+ days. I'll shower as necessary. If it is over 100 degrees out and I get really hot and sweaty, I'll come in and stand in a cold shower but not use soap, unless necessary. I also don't wash my hair daily. I'm retired but when I worked in Corp. America, I did shower every morning and wash my hair every day. I found I was using a lot of skin lotion and more products in my hair to keep it from drying out. So I think I've found a balance in my golden years. And anyway, my husband has a nose like a blood hound so if I were the least bit ripe, he would certainly tell me, God love him.

[@theflowerfarmer]

Lol - love the keen nosed husband xxx

[@MicheleYoung-w5s]

I also make my seasonal wreaths in this way. 😊

[@theflowerfarmer]

Me too x only I make bigger and stronger bases so can have wooof wreaths x

[@amyjones2490]

I just loved the flower crown in the wedding scene in the movie Robin Hood with Kevin Coster, sorry I can’t remember the actresses name. I agree with the not bathing every day. It dries out my old skin to much if I bathe every day.

[@theflowerfarmer]

yes I remember that - it was a stunner x

[@lisag9493]

They look really beautiful 🌸🌼🌺

[@theflowerfarmer]

Thanks so much 😊 x

[@alisonbwise]

Totally agree with you about bathing (and flower crowns), we Americans totally overdo it then get very sniffy about it 😉 In my hippie days I used to love flower crowns, now not so much, although yours are very beautiful, and I think those jewel colors will look very luminous on a gray day. Plus it's two ladies marrying each other in a temple? I think that works, sort of Sarah Ferguson meets Caravaggio meets ancient Greece. Of course you could also do something like Princess Charlotte's jeweled tiara but in flowers 🤔 💚

[@theflowerfarmer]

Agree re the flowers glowing on a grey day - they were such nice ladies to deal with - I hope they had a wonderful celebration x

[@rosemarysmall5103]

I agree about bathing, not only for the planet, but also for vanity!!! All that soapy scrubbing, hot water is bad for the skin. In Australia, cool showers are best when it's humid. That's why your skin looks great, as is mine and I'm 69! In India, oil is used for cleaning the skin. Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺

[@theflowerfarmer]

totally agree - this year I've finished up my last ever pot of face cream and have moved onto a slosh of olive oil on my face and I LOVE it! x

[@pattiohare4280]

So pretty!

[@theflowerfarmer]

Thank you! 😊 x

[@samanthaw1419]

ha ha, I only bathe one a week, obviously I wash in between but as a women living alone, in the country, it seems excessive and unnecessary to do more ☺ I also wear clothes a few times and air in-between. Love the flower crowns.❤

[@uteberg4781]

Same here! ❤

Thankyou x

[@kathrynmettelka7216]

Visitors go to Stourhead more than Sissinghurst? Unfortunately I haven’t seen either though seeing the apotheosis of your art makes up for somethings. Another benchmark is that Wollerton Old Hall bloomed for the first time this week. It’s beautiful.

Sussinghurst much more gardenish - stourhead a created landscape - both excellent for a visit x

Have you tried leaving the flower stems long and winding them through and around ?

makes the structure too heavy and unwieldy if you do that xxx

Is that the same building as the scene with Mr Darcy & Elizabeth Bennett in Pride & Prejudice?! 🧐

might be - or is that at Stowe? or Chatsworth? x

Agreed! How do you even keep moisture in your skin if you shower every day?! ❤❤❤

Good question! x

I've been trying to do 100% biodegradable arrangements so your channel is a god send! Thank you 💜 When you do wedding work do people expect to keep the vases as part of the price or do you take them back at the end of the day? x x x

Lovely crowns you’ve made. Do you ever get pictures from brides which you are allowed to share? I would love to see your bouquets, crowns and other makings with their beautiful dresses. Would be nice to share on your instagram (with their permission of course). Just an idea 😉

[@theflowerfarmer]

Yes I do! sometimes I post them on instagram - but mostly I feel that the weddings are such private events to share them around would be invading the space of my clients - sometimes they share pictures and then I can share them on my stories if they have public accounts - but I'm careful xxx

[@karenrobinson2618]

Your my kind of gal, Georgie. I take a shower once a week. Unless it was so hot and I was out working in the gardens sweating.

glad I'm not alone x

[@kerryfirehorse]

Since moving into the countryside, I wash every day but I bath and change my clothes every few days. I also use my bath/ kitchen sink water to water my garden and flush my toilet. Don’t forget the importance of eating plant based too as a huge amount of water goes to animal agriculture.

[@theflowerfarmer]

So east I think to use a bit less - if we all did…

[@kerryfirehorse]

@@theflowerfarmer I got so taken by your care for environmental issues, that I forgot to mention how beautiful the flower crowns are. I also love that you grow organic and care.
