About Harebell & Bee

I moved to Lydney in the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire in 2018, taking on a neglected garden that I quickly began nurturing as a wildlife haven full of long grasses and wildflowers. In the middle of this wildness I built my cut flower patch - a little bit of order within the gentle chaos of the surrounding garden. I started growing and selling fresh flowers and soon began experimenting with drying more and more flowers, quickly discovering the allure of their colours and textures.

I now specialise in dried flowers, growing as much as I can fit in my plot and drying the summer bounty of flowers, grasses and seed pods in my potting shed and studio. I love creating designs that celebrate the stunning natural colours and shapes found in dried flowers, and bringing the wildness of nature and the garden inside. It gives me so much joy to be able to work with materials that I’ve grown and dried myself and to share them with fellow flower lovers.

Since 2024 I’ve been a member of the farOpen artists network, participating in the annual art trail and fall group shows. In late 2025 I plan to start offering dried flower workshops making wreaths and flower mobiles. If you’d like to know when workshops become available, sign up to my email list at the bottom of the page.

I offer beautifully wild dried flower designs for your home or business and for weddings and events including wreaths, garlands, bouquets, flower clouds, hanging installations, bridal flowers, reception flowers and floral headdresses.

I also have a passion for photography so you’ll also find things like notecards and jigsaw puzzles of my own images for sale in my shop and during farOpen shows.

If you’d like to purchase a dried flower design, please have a browse through my shop to see if anything catches your fancy. There are often pre-made items available but you also have the option to request a bespoke design, whether it’s in a favourite colour, includes a type of flower that has special significance or is an entirely unique design. If you’d like to find out more about my wedding services, pop over to the weddings page where you can look through the photo gallery and get in touch about your own wedding plans.

Thank you for visiting flower friend!
