Born and raised in Norfolk. I live just outside North Walsham with my husband Leon and two terriers, Pip and Archie.
From a young age I have always had a love for anything "arty" and venturing into a career in floristry in my early 20's meant I could use this love for art and also intertwine it with my love for nature and the outdoors too.
I trained at college locally and then went on to work in various different florists in and around my local area,
building on my knowledge, skills and passion for flowers.
Back in 2010 I opened my own florist shop and my husband and I started growing cut flowers and plants which we sold at markets and from our flower stall.
I have nurtured a wealth of experience over the last 20 plus years and now wish to enjoy sharing my love of flowers and nature with others.
In 2023 I started my floristry school, offering flower workshops and tutorials in and around North Walsham, Norfolk.
Offering workshops and tuition brings me a great deal of joy, and it's lovely to see others grow and fulfil their passions amongst flowers.
Moving forward my aim is to work as sustainably as possible, using British grown flowers wherever I can and practising 'no foam' floristry techniques.
Why not join me on my flower journey....
