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.

Powerful Story of Patient Interaction Louise shared a powerful story about her interaction with a patient in a cancer hospital. The patient was bedbound, in pain, and had refused treatment multiple times. Louise used her curiosity and rapport-building skills to gain the patient's trust and eventually helped him reframe his perspective on life. She used a combination of thought field therapy and NLP techniques to guide him to a memory of a happy time, which helped him see the value in living. The patient subsequently agreed to have treatment and lived for many years after. Eldin discussed the concept of reframing and dissociating, emphasising the importance of changing one's perspective and emotions. He also asked Louise about her work as a lecturer and trainer, to which she responded that she trains future trainers and lectures on mental health and reframing perspectives, particularly with marginalised groups. Reframing Narratives and Embracing Differences Louise and Eldin discussed the importance of reframing narratives and challenging negative self-perceptions. They emphasized the role of humor and curiosity in teaching and coaching, highlighting its ability to disarm and create a safe environment for learning. They also discussed the need to recognize and celebrate individual differences, particularly in relation to neurodivergence. The conversation concluded with a discussion on the importance of not labeling individuals as having "special needs," but rather acknowledging the support systems they have had. Overcoming PTSD and Changing Narratives Louise shares her experience of overcoming PTSD after a severe incident at work, emphasising the importance of curiosity and changing perspectives. She discusses how learning about different therapies helped her rewire her brain and later apply these lessons in cancer care. Eldin adds to the conversation by explaining the importance of changing narratives and detaching emotional charges from past experiences to achieve healing. They both agree on the significance of self-love and how changing one's mindset can lead to positive changes in health, appearance, and relationships. Bio: Louise is an award-winning lecturer, dynamic speaker, and visionary behind a leading training company and a thriving therapy and homeopathy practice. With over 20 years of experience, she specialises in unlocking potential—whether in education, professional development, or personal well-being.

nervously.Es: Mateo continuó añadiendo flores, elevando la estructura hasta el cielo.En: Mateo continued adding flowers, raising the structure to the sky.Es: Las flores se balanceaban ligeramente en la brisa, y con cada nueva capa de flores, la torre se volvía más inestable.En: The flowers swayed slightly in the breeze, and with each new layer of flowers, the tower became more unstable.Es: Mateo,

riéndose mientras ayudaba a Mateo a levantarse entre las flores caídas.En: Carlos approached, laughing as he helped Mateo up among the fallen flowers.Es: "Bueno, al menos cada pétalo ha encontrado su lugar," bromeó.En: "Well, at least every petal found its place," he joked.Es: Mateo, aunque sonrojado, no pudo evitar reír también.En: Mateo, though blushing, couldn't help but laugh as well.Es: Rosa le miró con ternura.En: Rosa looked at him tenderly.Es: "Me encanta esta obra maestra caótica," dijo, encantada.En: "I love this chaotic masterpiece," she said, delighted.Es: Aprendiendo que el corazón vale más que cualquier espectáculo grandioso, Mateo se dio cuenta de que no necesitaba la altura o la complejidad para demostrar su afecto.En: Learning that the heart matters more than any

We had the pleasure of interviewing Amythyst Kiah over Zoom video!GRAMMY-nominated singer-songwriter Amythyst Kiah shares her new album, Still + Bright via Rounder Records. Produced by Butch Walker (Taylor Swift, Green Day and Weezer) and recorded at his Nashville studio, the 12-track album is a vital new addition to Kiah's body of work, one largely dedicated to exploring the struggle and joy of true self-discovery. While her 2021 Wary + Strange details her grief, anger, and abandonment, Still + Bright is her liberation from the events of her earlier life, examining the vast expanse of her inner world, passions, self-exploration and realization, with a darkly cinematic twist. The project – which Rolling Stone hailed is “poised to be a major moment for the east Tennessee-raised singer-songwriter” – expands upon the wild definitions of Americana music. From gothic love songs with haunting vocals (“Silk and Petals feat. Butch Walker”) to a furiously stomping fantasy-inspired folk epic (“I Will Not Go Down” feat.Billy Strings"), or an ode to meditation laced with lush mandolin lines and lovely fiddle melodies (“S P A C E”), the album affirms her as an artist of both daring originality and uncompromising depth. The album is a collision of her love of indie rock, garage guitars and symphonic metal, flawlessly melded with the visceral lyricism and songwriting she's renowned for in the roots community.The project – which features collaborations with S.G. Goodman, Billy Strings and Avi Kaplan (Pentatonix) – also marks a complete transformation in Kiah's songwriting process: her first time opening up her approach and working with co-writers on an album. The album features co-writes with punk legend Tim Armstrong, Sadler Vaden (guitarist/vocalist for Jason Isbell's 400 Unit) and Sean McConnell (Brittney Spencer, Bethany Cosentino).Kiah is currently on the road on her Still + Bright Tour, plus she recently was announced as direct support for select dates of Larkin Poe's The Bloom Tour.About Amythyst Kiah:With an unforgettable voice that's both unfettered and exquisitely controlled, the Tennessee-bred singer/songwriter is a “fantastic fingerpicker, dynamo singer and profound songwriter [who] defies all sorts of stereotypes” (Guitar Player). Her 2021 release of Wary + Strange earned glowing features and reviews from The New York Times, NPR Morning Edition, Pitchfork, and Rolling Stone, plus performances on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and CBS Saturday Morning. Kiah is also a member of Our Native Daughters—an all-women-of-color supergroup whose standout track “Black Myself” (written by Kiah) earned a Grammy Award nomination for Best American Roots Song. She recently joined Iron & Wine on their summer tour, and has shared stages with The Who, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, CAM and more.  We want to hear from you!
