The Millefleur Project
We put a call out to our community of knitters in Muthill, Comrie, Auchterarder and Crieff – and the response was incredible! Inspired by the beautiful flower walkways at Yarndale Wool Festival in Yorkshire, we asked for handmade flowers to create a vibrant focal point in the Star Garden.
The result? A 12-foot panel of hundreds of unique hand-knitted and crocheted blooms 
Each flower is different in design, colour, and texture – from first-ever creations to pieces by accomplished knitters. Together, they form a joyful tapestry of colour and craft. We even received some vibrant vegetables and a scarecrow.

The variety of yarns and styles is amazing, and the panel is a true celebration of community talent and creativity.
This outdoor artwork complements the sensory plants in the garden, adding another dimension of colour, texture, and touch for all to enjoy.
A huge thank you to everyone who contributed – this project wouldn’t have been possible without you, and a special thanks to Susan Thomson for overseeing this amazing project! You and your team have created something truly amazing, it’s a very special addition to the Star Garden
