When Cathy Pope from Hampshire picked up her free Psalm 23 Garden bag at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show recently, she could see it had potential.
Taking late-summer flowers from her back garden, including hawks weed, fennel, Alchemilla and erigeron, Cathy used an old-fashioned flower-pounding technique to create this lovely effect.
‘I was knocked out by the Psalm 23 Garden,’ says Cathy. ‘I thought it was absolutely lovely. I decided to make a flower bag afterwards and am really quite pleased with the results.’
Fancy doing something similar? It’s really easy, according to Cathy. Here is her handy guide.
Remember, a flower bag won’t go through the wash successfully, so keep it for special occasions!
