“I often have an internal debate about clipping flowers from my garden to arrange inside. While I believe in filling every room of our Northern California cottage with flowers, I also love leaving them to bloom where they’re planted. I’ve mostly solved the dilemma by growing enough to serve both purposes. And even just simply gathered in an old weathered cart, flowers give me great joy. They don’t have to be perfectly designed, perfectly fresh, or even arranged in ‘proper’ vessels to bring an abundance of beauty.”⁠ ⁠ -Courtney Allison, Author and Owner of @frenchcountrycottage⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Click @flowermagazine and go to the blue link in bio to see our collection of stunning floral moments like this one!⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Photo excerpted from FRENCH COUNTRY COTTAGE IN BLOOM (Gibbs Smith)⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #floralart #summer #garden #botanical #florals #flowers #colorful #blooms #bloom #flower #flowermagazine
