Want flowers that last without filling your home with plastic?

For Katie Christer from Sitopia Farm, drying the flowers you grow is a beautiful and more sustainable way to keep enjoying them long after their fresh blooms have faded. And unlike artificial flowers, they continue to capture something of the season they came from – and the memories attached to it.

In the full podcast episode, Katie shares the best flowers and seedheads for drying, simple ways to preserve their colour and shape, and ideas for turning them into seasonal wreaths and arrangements.
