When I first started floristry I just thought that all the flowers from the market were grown in Australia. Not until I started chatting with the flower wholesalers and other florists I was made aware that approximately 20% of flowers are imported from Kenya, Malaysia, Ecuador, Colombia, and other countries. When flowers are imported, they are also fumigated with chemicals to reduce the risk of introducing live pests and weeds into Australia.
Seasonal Flowers
When you embrace flowers that are in season you are getting a flower at its most beautiful stage.
There are so many benefits to designing with seasonal flowers.
Supporting Australian flower farms.
Lower carbon footprint as less resources are used to transport flowers.
Less need for packaging.
Embracing the beauty of mother nature.
Creating a look that feels harmonic within the environment.
My Micro Flower Garden
Ive been growing my own flowers for a few years now and I just love it! My dream one day is to open a flower farm.
Being able to grow my own flowers and use them in my designs makes it so special for me and my clients. My flowers are grown with so much love and are also chemical free.
Flowers that you’ll find in my garden - Cosmos, Zinnias, Dahlias, Sweat Peas, Foxgloves, Snapdragons, Phlox, Poppies and many more varieties. If you love growing flowers or just love flowers in general follow along my floral journey on my instagram.
