Welcome to Grow Cookie to Range, the podcast of me, Sarah Raven, and a series of guests.

And today I'm joined by an old florist friend of mine called Anna Potter.

And I'm sure lots of you know about Anna already from Swallows and Danzans and Sheffield. I feel she was one of the sort of first florists who really used Instagram as a way of getting her name out there, but also taught us a whole new, I really feel she did lead the way with a sort of muted, beautiful, coppery,

what I call Brandesnap palette.

And I've certainly been hugely inspired Banner, who's been here to teach a few times

at Perch Hill.

And the reason that I've invited her back on the podcast today is because she's got a new

book out, which is so exciting,

which is called Flower Philosophy, and it's actually out next week, so it's incredibly topical,

and I'm afraid for that reason I'm going to take a sidestep out of the 12 Best series

that we're doing all the way through the beginning of the year this year, Because to be honest, this fabulous book just doesn't fit that format exactly.

So it would be like trying to shoehorn something very, very beautiful, into rather a rigid structure.

And it just doesn't fit.

So welcome, Anna.

It's so lovely to have you back on the podcast.

Hello.

Thank you so much for having me back, Sarah.

And for that absolutely lovely introduction and sidestep away from your programming for the book.

That's so kind of you. No, not at all. Well, I, will you just tell those that perhaps didn't hear you last time and don't know of you already?

In a way, what differentiates you as a florist?
