I have flowers on the brain right now, not only because the garden and the valley have literally exploded in colour over the past couple of weeks, but also because today I am excited to welcome my guests onto my first floral tour.
You may remember my video about a floral art class with my girlfriend Clarisse, well tomorrow six guests will be visiting the wholesale flower market with me and taking a lesson with Clarisse and sipping champagne at the George V and some other stuff too – two days of floral heaven.
So with all of that happening, I grabbed some viburnum, wisteria, cow parsley and even a couple of peonies from the garden and put this together, just for fun. I hope you like it.
If you want to follow along on the floral tour, be sure to keep an eye on my instagram , and if you would like to take part in the tour yourself, then you may like to know that there will be a second tour on the 2nd and 3rd of June, and there are still a couple of places left.
Email me HERE for more details, merci!

What variety of verbena do you have? It looks similar to hydrangea. Thanks!
Tabitha – I’m thinking that it’s snowball viburnum and not hydrangea. But whatever it is, it’s a gorgeous arrangement! Sharon, I’ll bet you can just drop a fist full of flowers in a pot and have it look perfect immediately!
Thank you, Vicky and Barbara. It is absolutely gorgeous!
Yes, that’s snowball.
Viburrnum opulus “Sterile”
Sharon, that arrangement is just beautiful. Enjoy the tour.
Sharon your flower arrangement is really beautiful. Enjoy the flower tour, a lovely idea.
Is something wrong with your instagram? Cant seem to get it to work.
Sharon, absolutely beautiful flowers, we are in the middle of a drought in New Zealand so its just lovely to see your pretty arrangement. I hope you have more tours next year so I can plan our trip to Paris around them.
This is gorgeous! But in my book, you have always had a command of floral arrangement! Sounds like an amazing trip; someday, I hope to come. All the best to you always, Rié
The flower arrangement is beautiful!!! Hope you had a great tour, it sounds like so much fun..
Have a great day
Stunning!!
That sounds like such great fun & how gorgeous are those arrangements!
Hi Sharon, your flower arrangement is beautiful as always, I can imagine their perfume in the air. Hope you are having a lovely time. Thank you for sharing beauty. Till next time, regards Esther from Sydney. PS wish I was there and you know what this means…it’s back to the garden catalogues I just received…can’t decide on perfumed Day Lily called Heaven Scent or Lily Of The Vally (which I’ve had 0 success) so many choices.
Good luck with the tour Sharon. I am sure it will be a great success.

Gorgeous flowers, like a painting!
I think you could give your own floral arranging classes! I live in dry Provence, with a beautiful natural landscape, but growing flowers that are happy in Normandy is just neither easy or sensible. I’m happy just looking at yours ……
Beautiful spring flowers. I was wondering the other day if I could use cow parsley in an arrangement and if it would last as we have so much of it. You have inspired me, today I shall go and cut some and experiment. I have also put some of the giant pink flowers from the Spanish Chestnut in a big vase on the kitchen table, they make a huge statement and have lasted much longer than I expected.
Beautiful mix and they go together so well.

Beautiful arrangement Sharon. Please can you tell me if you use an oasis to get the height and shape that you have?
A beautiful still life painting!! FABULOUS BOUQUET!! franki
It is just beautiful. I could be in a painting.

Beautiful spring flowers, stunning arrangement!
I love the pale lilac, whites and pale greens, soft, almost whispery colors. I have Hydrangeas, sweet peas, gardenias in bloom, we are awaiting our second flush of roses, here in the Sacramento area…we had spectacular roses in April this year….
So beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful. Have a wonderful weekend.
Sharon, you have such a beautiful sensibility for flower arranging! I always love seeing your floral posts.
Absolutely divine arrangement Sharon, really stunning. I’ve added Viburnum Opulus Sterile to my list of must haves! I hope you do these floral tours next year as well…..
