My Story

Rooted in Flowers, Grown with Heart

Hello! I’m Nicola,

flower grower, dried flower artist, and nature-lover on a mission to help others create beauty in simple, sustainable ways.

At Bramble & Beyond, I share how to grow, dry, and arrange seasonal flowers — without perfection, pressure, or needing acres of space. Whether you’re dreaming of wild blooms in the kitchen or just want a moment of peace with your hands in the soil, you’re in the right place.

Bringing the Beauty of the British Countryside Inside

What started as a love for sowing seeds and getting muddy hands has gently grown into something bigger: a business built around seasonal beauty, sustainable growing, and a deep belief that creativity begins at ground level.

I grow all my flowers from seed in my small, chemical-free plot — and I let the seasons take the lead. Over time, I fell in love with drying flowers too. There’s something magical about creating with nature in a way that lingers. A dried bouquet or handmade wreath isn’t just pretty — it holds the memory of the season it came from.

And yes, I’ll admit it: I’m a bit of a lazy gardener. I’m always looking for ways to grow more with less — less stress, less effort, and less impact on the planet. My garden isn’t pristine (and that’s how I like it), but it’s full of life, promise, and peace. That’s the kind of beauty I want to help you bring into your home.

Whether you’re here to start growing, feel more confident arranging your own flowers, or simply bring a touch of the wild indoors — I’m so glad you’ve found your way here.ryside, bringing the outdoors in without the need for preservatives or chemicals.

Our Values

At Bramble and Beyond, our mission is simple: to bring beauty into the world in a way that honours it. Through seasonal, dried flower arrangements, we create art that is both beautiful and eco-conscious, offering a sustainable option to those who love nature as much as we do. Each piece is crafted with care from home-grown, hand-dried blooms, celebrating the natural shapes, colours, and textures of the wild.

01.

Approachability


I believe that growing and creating with flowers should feel inviting — not intimidating. Whether you’re starting with a single seed tray or have a garden in full bloom, there’s a place for you here. No jargon, no pressure — just real-life encouragement and simple, honest guidance.

02.

Creativity


To me, creativity isn’t about being perfect — it’s about making something with your own two hands and enjoying the process. From planting to arranging, I invite you to experiment, play, and make beauty that reflects your own rhythm and style.

03.

Sustainability

I work with the seasons, not against them. From seed to stem, everything I grow and create is done with care for the planet — using natural methods, mindful materials, and a respect for the slower, lasting kind of beauty.


Bring a touch of the wild indoors with Bramble & Beyond.
Whether you’re after a lasting bouquet, a handmade seasonal wreath, or just a little more natural beauty in your day, everything here is grown, dried, and arranged with care — to help you celebrate the seasons, reconnect with nature, and create a home that reflects the life you’re growing.
