WELCOME

Situated in the rural village of Gissing, on the Norfolk and Suffolk borders and on the edge of the meandering Waveney Valley. Gabriel’s Garden was born out of a lifelong love and passion for the countryside and the native flora and fauna. Our creative florals are inspired and designed according to the season. Our beautiful British flowers reflect an informal style and are renowned for that ‘just gathered’ look, fabulous fragrance and natural country garden charm.

What a busy morning at the Gissing wellbeing cafe. I popped along with some colourful buckets of bright and cheerful flowers to make jam jar posies.
Flowers bring an instant smile, curiosity, conversation and always evoke memories of gardens and flowers and I love watching that happen....
The wellbeing cafe takes place in the Gissing community hall; a fabulously warm and welcoming space, on the 1st Wednesday every month from 10.30am until 12 ish. They are a not for profit group, run by volunteers and offer free therapy sessions by qualified therapists and other creative activities. Open to carers, their carerees and anyone in need of wellbeing - How amazing is that!! Donations are always welcome.
Today’s therapy on offer were reiki, reflexology and massage...

I’ve been cutting and drying lots of seed heads and grasses including bunches and bunches of these beautiful helichrysums. Renowned for holding their jewel like colour and for being a long lasting dry flower. They take me back on a nostalgic trip to where my floral story began.
One of my first jobs as a 13 yr old growing up in Suffolk was cutting helichrysums on a flower farm.
The sensation of being amongst the rows and rows of rustling flowers, growing tall under the wide open skies, cutting and bunching only the very best, carrying the crates of flowers to the evocative smells and warmth of the drying sheds. Full of slightly scary women who seated at long benches; chatted , chided and laughed through the long days whilst wiring, rebunching and hanging said flowers back into rows which hung in large clusters from the ceiling... Hear more about growing cut flowers, Gabriel’s Garden, my love of flowers and working with nature and more of those early influences . Please click on the llink in my bio @plant_based_podcast. This was my first foray into live recording and what a great place to start, thanks to the fab, plant loving duo @ellenmarygardening and @mr_plantgeek for making it fun and happen so smoothly.. great photo too by the talented @carolinehorne.s.photography
All good except for a few excruciating 🐰 in headlights blank moments of ‘cant remembers’ answers below;
1. Apologies to Gill Hodgson, founder of FlowersFrom The Farm
2. Influential book- Growing Vegetables for profit and pleasure by Mandy Pullen
3. Kitchen compost system for gardenless composting using Bokashi bran.

Indian summer colours to match the heat of the day and cut before the promise of rain, the first drops are falling as I write and I have everything crossed for a long and gentle continuation....

Enjoy an immersive morning with me in the cut flower garden. The focus will be on the dahlias bed and the wonderful array of fragrant filler flowers, grasses and foliages around the garden. You’ll take home a glorious seasonal bunch to enjoy, refreshments included.
