EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS

Growing up on a farm and being surrounded by fields and flowers with my mother being an interior designer and florist.
Trained at New Covent Garden Academy of Flowers in 2015.

My style is wild filled with pops of colour and entwined with seasonal foraged material.

I thought for a while interiors was what I wanted to do, but soon realised being in an office wasn't for me and that nature and flowers were calling!

In 2016 I found the lovely Land Gardeners in Oxfordshire, where I spent a summer helping out in their cut flower garden and styling for photoshoots.

The same year I got the job on the Daylesford Estate as the in-house florist, it was fast paced making weekly arrangements and installing house plants for the main residence on both small and large scales. No day was the same; styling for photoshoots, arranging for supper/lunch parties, weekly flowers for the pubs, helping install weddings/big events at Daylesford Farm Shop and always escaping to help in the cut flower garden!
In 2020 I had the itch to go out on my own, learning new styles and building up my own client base. Although I still freelanced for Daylesford, but found other florists in Oxfordshire to freelance with and had my own private clients.

I have had a whirlwind of a year moving down to Hampshire for love!! So its now time to build clients up in this area and get freelancing!

Intermediate / 9 years but always learning!
