Snapdragon's garden

The space behind Jane Lindsey’s house in the United Kingdom has been transformed into a cutting garden full of unusual flowers and herbs. It’s an ideal laboratory that allows Jane to produce floral-inspired textiles and toiletries, crafts showcased in her blog, Snapdragon's garden. Within these pages, Jane details the creative process that results in home textile designs, lets us tour her studio, and displays her cutting garden. Jane’s posts, pictures, and products will bring a touch of country to your home; reading her blog is like strolling through the English countryside at the height of a particularly beautiful spring day. Lots of color and fresh things reside here, and they’re available for sale in her shop.
