I have always loved flowers.  From a young age I would take half my pocket money & buy a few stems to have in my room.  Choosing fresh flowers from our local market on a small budget I learnt to appreciate what was in season, what lasted (what didn't) & what smelt nice & so my interest grew.

After teens, university & travelling I spent 10 years in marketing before taking a break to start a family.  Whilst at home I set myself the goal of learning to "make things" with flowers.  I enrolled in floristry evening classes which soon became the highlight of my week.   My house filled with flowers every Wednesday as I brought home whatever we were studying - from Bridal Bouquets to Sympathy flowers.
A few years & four children later my interest in flowers went from a kitchen table hobby to a business in 2012.

I feel incredibly lucky to work with flowers every day. I still get a huge buzz from my trips to the flower market, even at 4am in the dead of winter.  It's always a feast for the senses & the wonderful wholesalers work so hard & with such good cheer.

I will always love seeing the effect flowers have on people, their environment & moods.  From the simplest bunch in a "tin can", to altogether grander arrangements, the effect is always a positive one.

And this is Inca, my cockapoo.
She's not very big or very clever but she loves to come on deliveries, 
purrs like a cat when she's happy
&
there's not much she won't do for a digestive.
