I just love changing my tablescapes as the seasons change. A spring table for me is all about adding freshness and vitality to a table.
To create this Easter Table we layered two natural linen colours, sage green as the main table cloth and then a biscuit table runner down the centre.
To create this new Spring table I placed my beautiful Garden Pergola blue and white striped linen tablecloth across the table and then filled two sea blue gluggle jugs with peach tulips.
I love to place winter fruits down the centre of the table and also spotted around flower vases - fresh figs, pomegranates, and clementines are all in season during the winter months and will make any table look so magical.

Foraging
The wild garlic season is just starting to kick off! I say this with enthusiasm because it’s my favourite wild herb to forage. It’s so easy to forage, you’ll find it in damp wooded areas and you’ll usually smell it before you see it
I would encourage anyone to try foraging in any season, it’s one of my favourite pastimes and a great hobby to pick-up.
