Wild Flower Arranging and all things Informal with Brigitte Girling (Moss & Stone Floral Design)

If you think Floral Design is all about extravagance and cutting garden favourites, then allow Brigitte Girling - the genius behind Moss & Stone Floral Design - to show you her wilder way of arranging. Using the wildflowers from her garden and some she's grown from seed, she brings a celebration of nature to her designs which is in keeping with her love of the wildlife in her plot.

As Brigitte, Alan Gray (East Ruston Old Vicarage) and Thordis explore her favourite plants of the moment to add informal magic to designs, we also contemplate how formal lines in a garden can be softed by the planting around them.
