BURST OF BLOSSOM

With research showing a significant decline in orchards across the UK, the National Trust has committed to planting four million new blossom trees by 2030. In support of this, homeware brand Sophie Allport’s latest collaborative collection with the Trust celebrates the beauty of apple blossom in this cheerful and mood-enhancing repeat pattern. ‘There is nothing more magical in spring than the colourful blossom season.
