ORGANIC FLOWERS FROM THE HILLS

Margrit De Colle cultivates organic cut flowers, twigs, herbs and edible blossoms on her fields in south-eastern Styria, creating works of art from the fresh natural materials that she collects on rambles through her woods, meadows and fields. Every day she is inspired by nature and the seasons to create beautiful bouquets, wreaths and flower arrangements. She enjoys passing on her knowledge about the sustainable cultivation of flowers, tips on how to pick them and her craft know-how in lectures, workshops and tours of the garden. Plants, people and ideas all need the right location and a particular environment in order to flourish. Nothing is more fair or sustainable than cultivating them yourself and using your crops for creative work and in the kitchen.
