Summer is a fantastic time to get out into the garden, flowers have hidden special meanings, and in times gone by bouquets could be used to convey a certain message particularly amongst loved ones. Once you know the meanings, whether you are planning on planting a flower bed, or picking out a bunch of flowers, you can communicate a whole series of thoughts and feelings through each bloom you pick – like a living letter.

Even if you don’t have a garden, you can still grow plants in-doors, use a kitchen windowsill or a small outdoor space like a patio with planters.
