The Garden Archive – Bespoke Made-to-Order Meadow Panel

Please note: the original artwork shown in the photographs has been sold. This listing is for a bespoke, made-to-order version — a new panel handcrafted especially for you.

Every made-to-order panel is unique. Because we work with seasonal, Scottish-grown botanicals, we cannot guarantee an exact replica of the piece shown. What we can promise is a panel made with the same care, craft, and love — using the finest dried flowers and grasses available from our fields at the time of making. If you have a preferred colour palette or particular flowers in mind, we'd love to hear from you and will do our very best to incorporate your wishes.

The Garden Archive is our signature Seed-to-Art statement piece: a preserved summer garden created entirely from flowers and grasses grown from seed here at Home Farm Flowers, near Helensburgh. Every stem was nurtured through the season in our field, cut at its best, then carefully dried and tended until it was ready to become part of this design.

The artwork is built by weaving and layering dried stems through chicken wire inside a deep frame, creating natural movement and depth just like a real meadow. Airy grasses, sculptural seed heads, delicate umbels and jewel-like pops of colour all sit proudly in three dimensions, capturing that moment when summer is at its fullest.

Frame size: 43 x 43 x 4.5 cm (approx. 17 x 17 x 1.8 inches)
Construction: Deep frame with chicken wire; dried stems woven and secured through the wire

Flowers and foliage may include (subject to seasonal availability): Achillea, Ammi, Bracken, Bunny tail grass, Craspedia, Dahlia, Echinacea, Ferns, Grasses, Gypsophila, Ladies' mantle, Pennycress, Knapweed, Salvia, Statice, Lavender, Nigella, Astrantia, Strawflower.

Display and care: For indoor display. Keep out of direct sunlight and away from humidity to preserve colour for as long as possible. A little gentle shedding and fading can happen over time with natural dried materials.

Delivery and collection: Available for collection from Home Farm Flowers near Helensburgh, or local delivery by arrangement. If you require the panel to be posted, we will discuss postage options with you after your order is placed — an additional postage charge will apply, and we will confirm all courier logistics and costs before dispatch to ensure the artwork travels safely.

Commission & Colour Preferences

When you place your order, please leave us a note with any colour preferences or flowers you'd love us to include. We'll always work with what's freshest and most beautiful from our fields, but we're happy to tailor the palette as closely as we can to your wishes.

For Weddings & Special Occasions

If the season and flowers allow, we can create a bespoke panel using the same varieties and colours as your bridal bouquet — a beautiful, lasting keepsake of your Scottish wedding day.

As each panel is made to order using seasonal botanicals, please allow 4–6 weeks for completion. We'll be in touch to confirm timings after your order is placed.
