Spotted in our garden this week is a poem is is JOY somewhere else? created for The Bloom by Marina Frangipani 💜

Marina is a pleasure designer, offering new paths of joy and appreciation with what we have.

Marina creates and hosts experiences to explore what connects us all - from the vastness of the sky to the textiles we wear each day.
