KATHERINE BLY

I have always loved flowers and was lucky enough to grow up in a 16 th Century house with a beautiful cottage garden.

I moved back to Sussex and went back to college for a couple of years, gaining my City & Guilds qualifications in Floristry. I'm a proud mum to two mischievous little boys, Albert and George. Oh and there's also Poppy, our excitable golden retriever. In my spare time, I love countryside walks, scouring antique markets, doodling, the seaside and the perfect cup of tea
