Shownotes Transcript

With the spring season fast approaching, this week seemed a fitting time to consider our pick of the early tulips to bring some spring colour to your garden. Helping us to choose our favourites on this episode is a wonderful guest with a background in fine art and floristry, Anna Potter.

As the artistic eye behind Swallows & Damsons, Anna shares her journey to building her own floristry company utilising her photography skills to create a ‘visual diary’, and we hear how to chit potatoes and use them in a variety of delicious dishes.

In this episode, discover:

  • Anna’s background in fine art, and how it grew into a love of floristry
  • How she grew Swallows & Damsons through beautiful Instagram content
  • Anna, Sarah & Arthur’s absolute favourite early tulips
  • The story behind the tulip named after Sarah Raven
  • Chitting potatoes, and everyone’s favourite recipe for their potato of choice
