The Seedling is a lifestyle platform founded by florist, author & designer Willow Crossley that celebrates the seasons - sharing ideas to inspire, create and nurture. We host interviews and features on wellness, travel, style, interiors, arts & culture, gardening and lots of seasonal flower inspiration - from planning to planting and arranging beautiful flowers. Willow also shares what she is inspired by each month - from plants to podcasts, flowers to fashion…
Willow says, " For as long as I can remember I have loved stories. I love reading, writing and sharing stories about living our best lives. I'm curious about life and style and I know you are too. The Seedling is a celebration of the seasons and permission to love each day and week as it passes despite the busy lives we all lead… The Seedling will live as an evergreen - forever growing on my website and will share ideas to inspire, create & nurture through interviews, features and reviews across lifestyle - from planning, planting and arranging life-enhancing flowers to travel, wellness, interiors, style, cooking and so much more. I will also share what is inspiring me each month in the Willow Loves section.
