I love meadows, it’s true! I love them in the morning with tiny droplets of due making them shine like silver in the sunlight and showing up all the delicate cobwebs. I love them on long warm evenings, when the heat of the day is still in the grass and you can lie on your back and listen to the skylarks.
I love the mix of wildness and flowers, its perfection to me.
My love affair with meadows started when I worked at Great Dixter and I was lucky enough to walk in the morning dew and the long evenings in the world-famous Meadow and Gardens.
At this time of year the meadows they seem to take over the hedgerows and verges along our roads and lanes and this inspired me to show Emma from A Quiet Style how to make a Meadow inspired chair back. I hope you find time to read how you make one on Emma’s blog.
I thought I would quickly show you one of my favourite designs that I love to do, a Meadow in a box.
