I made this little lovely during our Wednesday evening floral design workshop at the farm. I was struggling to find a focal flower I wanted to use so I decided to skip a focal and just go for lots of texture. The baby blue plums sealed the deal. I’m decidedly in blue phase this spring/early summer. And I finally used sweet peas in one of these Backyard Bouquets for the first time this season. Just haven’t been as smitten with them this year after being a bit obsessed last year. Still, they’re never short on drama to amp up a design!

What’s blooming in your backyard this week? Feel free to add a link to your own Backyard Bouquets in the comments section below. If you are on Instagram, be sure to use the hashtag #backyardbouquets to join in the fun. I’d love to see what everyone is growing and creating!
The only “rule” is that all the elements in the arrangement must be sourced locally, within a 25 mile radius. Your own backyard is a great place to start!!
