Come with us on a tour of botanical stylist Yasuyo Harvey's Worcester Park home and garden, which she remodeled and designed with her husband Phil.
Golden grasses and dried flowers are elements in a botanical still life above the refrigerator.
A big window above the kitchen sink connects indoors to out, with a view of the back garden.

A ball of Stipa seeds has a Tribble-esque allure.
Yasuyo arranges dahlias with flowers and fronds from the garden.
The finished botanical composition finds a home on a chair by designer Faye Toogood.
In the bedroom, an exuberant houseplant mingles with a carnivorous cousin.

Pods and seeds add texture and structure to Yasuyo’s botanical compositions.
