She opens up about building community through floristry, finding inspiration from fellow floral artists, and reimagining floral design as a fine art, inspired by the timeless elegance of the Dutch Masters.The Fatty Crew and Semia explore how modern floral trends are reshaping the industry, and how she views floral design as an evolving art form—one she likens to the timeless beauty of the Dutch Masters.This conversation is full of inspiration, artistry, and the kind of grounded wisdom that grows from the soil up.

I learned so much about owning a successful floral design business from Oscar Andrade of Petals to the Metal. After 8 years owning this business and growing up working in his aunt's flower shop in Miami, Oscar has floristry in his blood.  During our conversation Oscar gives some great advice to new and experienced floral designers. He also describes working with wire service providers and explains how he sources most of his flowers. Be sure to follow Oscar on social media and reach out if you need a mentor or want to partner up with him!Instagram- @petalstothemetalfloristdcWebsite: www.districtpetals.com

Spring is starting to unfold, and with that in mind, we're heading back to the vegetable patch with kitchen gardener Lucy Chamberlain for the final instalment of her "Grow Food Anywhere" mini-series. This time, Lucy guides us through which crops thrive in those tricky, shady spots that can often be a challenge in the garden. Nick Turrell from the RHS Advisory Team gives us the lowdown on why Leylandii – once a garden favourite – has since earned a notorious reputation, and says what you can do about it! And finally Jamie Walton, the familiar face behind the Nettles & Petals social media account, shares some of the benefits and ecological gardening mindset can bring to your plot.
