About this dried flowers blog

Hi I’m Ruth, and I love writing about nature, flowers, wildflowers and craft.

I developed an interest in dried flower crafts in particular soon after starting Daisy Gifts Ltd (formed in 2002). Daisy was initially a general gift shop in the small market town of Hailsham in the South of England. I very soon put my stock on the internet using my first website daisygifts.co.uk and was finding that the dried lavender and natural home fragrance were outselling everything else. It wasn’t long before Daisy Gifts Ltd was internet only, selling exclusively dried flowers and home fragrance products on our internet shop at daisyshop.co.uk.

With all these lovely ingredients to experiment with, I was soon reading up on potpourri making techniques and trying out my own recipes & makes. I am a keen gardener and love natural products so I guess my work & hobbies have merged!

I hope you like this blog and find some of the makes interesting and the tips helpful. Do please leave comments or ask questions!

To find out more about my business, just visit my shop page! I also have an Etsy shop – for a selected range of dried flowers visit daisyshopuk.etsy.com.

In my spare time I blog about UK wildflowers – I’m aways writing online about something!

I have run a dried flower and lavender business in the UK since 2002. This means I am experienced in dried flower craft, but also am biased towards my own products – I can’t help but be proud of what I do! Find out more about Daisy Gifts Ltd® at our sister site daisyshop.co.uk

Thanks very much to all the lovely people who ask about buying custom handmade arrangements and bouquets – I’m afraid I don’t offer this service anymore, but we do sell the flowers you need to make your own.
