I love insect raves!!
Wow.beautiful
I add more flowers to my garden every year. These days I'm more into the flowers than the vegetables and fruit I grow. I love them for the beauty they bring to the garden and the beneficial insects they bring. I also really enjoy having flower arrangements in the house and being able to give them to friends and family. I've learned that arranging flowers is very therapeutic. Your videos are so well done. Thank you for the beautiful footage!
Totally agree! I went ‘all out’ this year and planted loads and loads of flowers and it is magical. The bees and pollinators love them and they provide so much joy. IMHO you don’t have to make a choice between flowers or vegetables – both are possible.
Peni is such a lovely lady. What a gift to grow the flowers for her daughters' weddings! May she become a grandma to many precious English babies, who inherit her love of gardening.
Yes, yes, and thrice yes! Fantastic lady, fantastic video, we need more cross over of organic farming and flower farming. Who knows, flower farmers might even get their own tax bracket and subsidizing one day…check out Georgie from Common Farm Flowers for more on this subject. Keep up the good work, Huw!

I love growing flowers in amongst the veg. It's my little patch of heave.
Beauty will save the world.
The nurturing love and patience of Peni is a big part of the successful growing❤
Thank you Huw
I should consider planting some cauliflowers.
A video on edible flowers would be nice 🌺
