A BIT ABOUT ME

My main hobbies are gardening; reading; and keeping fit through weight training at a small local gym. My husband and I also enjoy walking with our French Bulldog Bentley; particularly discovering new places in the beautiful Cotswolds that we moved to just over 7 years ago.

Favourite flower… Hydrangea

EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS

Level 2 City & Guilds Floristry (Bicton College, Devon)
Level 3 Wedding Design (Academy of Floral Art, Devon)
Level 3 Events Design (Academy of Floral Art, Devon)
Funeral Floristry Design (Cambridge Flower School)

Before moving to Oxfordshire, I worked in a busy well established florists in Devon.
I currently work in a popular flower shop in Oxfordshire. In addition to whatever the day brings, I work on many weddings and funerals throughout the year. No two days are the same, which is what I love most about floristry.
My style is very much loose country style flowers. My favourite time of year for flowers is summer and all the wild natural, local grown options it provides. I particularly enjoy large scale installations and the challenges that they can sometimes bring.
