Heavy, good quality, linen tea towels - a small piece of art that’s useful, beautiful, and good for the planet. Your mother will love them.
This lovely 100% linen tea towel has been created as part of our Horatio’s Garden Chelsea collection. The spring meadow flowers were inspired by Bunny Guiness’ award winning stand design for the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2025.
If you would like this fabric in your home, we have two versions of the print on our linen section of the website.
Of each Horatio’s Garden design purchased, 25% of the purchase price goes straight to Horatio’s Garden Spinal Unit charity.
An indulgence of daisies and hollyhocks, this tea towel is a small parcel of summer. Painted over the summer using flowers from Katy’s garden and those of friends’ this design has been created as a celebration of English summer time.

Dark green and white 100% linen tea towel printed with layers of shiny Ivy leaves.
Even in the darkest winter there are still plants to enjoy. Where we live in the Test Valley, Hampshire, ivy thrives. it covers walls and trees and even old barns, offering up flower festooned stems for our Christmas decorations.”
Each Katy Botanical design is inspired by the highly talented Arts and Crafts artists and artisans who brought good design into our homes through wallpapers, fabrics and ceramics.
Katy hand paints each design in her studio. Each tea towel is then printed onto heavy, good quality linens by traditional printers in the UK.
We do hope you love them.
Linen, cotton and velvet botanical prints
Can I introduce you to my hand painted designs, each one printed onto natural fabrics here in the UK.
This pretty fabric was created in collaboration with Horatio’s Garden charity for their gorgeous tea towels collection. I loved it so much that we revisited the print to see how we could use it as a furnishing fabric. Can you spot the Bee Orchids, Toad Flax, Camassia leichtlinii, and of course, the bees?

Printed here in the UK on a malty coloured undyed ground, this raw organic linen would be wonderful for blinds, upholstery, curtain and cushions.

Caring for your linen fabric:
Our cotton and linen fabrics should be washed at no hotter than 30 degrees and as they are natural fabrics, may shrink by 4-5% on the first wash:
Wash on a delicate machine cycle at 30 °C / 85F. Delicate tumble cycle on a low heat. Iron on a medium heat using steam, ironing print side down for best results. Do not bleach. Do not dry clean. Shrinkage estimated 4-8%.

A delicate Forget Me Not flower design printed onto a lovely soft undyed organic linen, the print inspired by the spiralling pinks and purples Forget Me Nots that line the Test Valley river in the summer months.
Which type of fabric to choose?
This design is printed on cotton canvas and a cotton velvet. Velvet is a good fabric for sofas, chairs and cushions as it’s so hardwearing, soft and luxurious. A velvet sofa is a dream to sit in. Most upholstery velvets are made of polyester which is made from petrochemicals which are not biodegradable, but ours is made of cotton, a natural fabric.
This cotton velvet is 140cm wide, the design has a repeat drop of 25cm and the fabric weight is 250 gsm (grams per square metre).
Our upholstery fabric is suitable for curtains, general furnishing, blinds and cushions. Cotton velvet is very hard wearing and is good for sofas and chairs without showing signs of wear, but should not be washed due to the ‘nap’ that gives it its soft feel. All our designs are hand painted and printed by traditional printers in the UK.
If you’re looking for a piece of fabric for a headboard or large shade, just message us and we can print your order horizontally and without any vertical seams.
Made to measure linen tablecloths
Wall designs
We offer a selection of botanical and floral wall designs, all created to give the impression of living in nature.
Views of green landscapes, plants and flowers bring us joy. Amazingly, views of nature reduce heart rates, increase concentration and help us relax, so improving our health and wellbeing.
Each flower on our wallpapers is hand painted. The finished designs are bespoke, printed to any size on any surface including wallpapers, fabrics and wall hangings.
These designs change spaces.
Horatio’s Garden RHS Chelsea Collaboration
In 2025 Horatio’s Garden commissioned Katy to design the backdrop for our RHS Chelsea Flower Show trade stand created by acclaimed landscape designer Bunny Guinness. Horatio’s Garden immediately thought of Katy as her style fits so beautifully with Bunny’s vision. Katy is thrilled to now be able to reproduce the Chelsea stand design in two versions to be used as a table cloth, curtains, wall hanging, cushion covers or whatever else your imagination dreams up. With 25% of the purchase price going to Horatio’s Garden this is a partnership made in floral heaven.
When Horatio’s Garden commissioned Katy to design the backdrop for our RHS Chelsea Flower Show trade stand, the design was so popular that we decided to create what’s called an ‘all over print’, a design that can be viewed from more than one direction. We reproduced the successful Chelsea stand design but as a repeat that can be hung any way up as a table cloth, curtains, wall hanging, cushion covers and more. Like the Horatio’s Garden Meadow panel, 25% of the purchase price goes to Horatio’s Garden each time you buy a metre of this beautiful fabric.
This Foxglove all over pattern can also be used as a single wall hanging. Each panel is 135cm wide and 300 cm long and made of a mix of undyed linen and cotton, 250 gsm in weight.
We can even print this design as a wallpaper.
Care instructions for your linen:
Wash on a delicate machine cycle at 30 °C / 85F. Delicate tumble cycle on a low heat. Iron on a medium heat using steam, ironing print side down for best results. Do not bleach. Do not dry clean. Shrinkage estimated 4-8%.

In 2025 Horatio’s Garden commissioned Katy to design the backdrop for our RHS Chelsea Flower Show trade stand. The trade stand was created by acclaimed landscape designer Bunny Guinness, and as part of the design she wanted to cover the trade stand walls in a beautiful floral design in keeping with her planting scheme. Horatio’s Garden immediately thought of Katy as her style fits so beautifully with Bunny’s vision. Katy is thrilled to now be able to reproduce the Chelsea stand design and turn it into a stunning material panel that can be used in your home as a table cloth, curtains, wall hanging, cushion covers or whatever else your imagination dreams up. With 25% of the purchase price going to Horatio’s Garden this is a partnership made in floral heaven.
Each panel fits seamlessly together with the next one, creating a beautiful endless meadow design. This Meadow design is perfect for curtains and blinds. Horatio’s Garden linen panels can also be used as a single wall hanging or even a tablecloth. Each panel is 135cm wide and 300 cm long and made of a mix of undyed linen and cotton, 250 gsm in weight and 130 cm wide.
