I started my business after moving to an old cottage in Hampshire about 10 years ago. I didn’t really know anyone when we moved here, so I went back to collect to learn Floristry with the hope of making some new friends.

I loved Floristry so much, I found career change too! Reconnecting with the seasons and surrounding myself with flowers ignited a childhood passion nature that had been dormant for years.

The first thing I learnt to make was a Christmas Wreath, the feeling of moss in my hands reminded me of childhood walks in Devon, I wanted to re-create the hedgerows I saw in and around the cottage and began selling wreaths to neighbours and friends.

I am genuinely never happier than when I am surrounded by foliage, have flowers in my hands and moss in my tea.
