In late Summer 2019 Xanthe White Design had the pleasure to work on an installation for London based brand Jo Malone to celebrate the launch of their new perfume range, Wildflowers & Weeds.

The scent range is inspired by an urban English canal, with rambling flowering weeds popping through cracks of brick and concrete, a sign of natures will to break free. In response to this wonderful concept Xanthe White Design created a living display of cheerful planting, buried amongst rubble.

Central to the installation, a dinghy run ashore served as an Instagrammable photo prop for event guests.

We used plants and weeds foraged from the wild and our own gardens, as well as a beautiful array of restios, grasses and blooms such as achillea, asters and rudbeckia, to name but a few.
