Why...
As an enthusiastic gardener and cut flower grower myself, I was very disappointed with the funeral flowers I purchased for my dad's funeral a few years ago. Using the supplier suggested by the funeral directors, I selected from their online catalogue and spared little thought to what I was buying and the environmental impact of what should have been a beautiful tribute to my dad who was a life long gardener.
This has led me to learn more about cut flowers, the use of imported flowers, the impact of floral foam and other single use plastics used in traditional funeral arrangements.
Where...
Working part time from my garden studio in St Albans it is my aim to provide you with a beautiful, natural and sustainable funeral tribute to your loved one.
Using seasonal flowers and foliage sourced from UK growers, and from my own garden where possible, it would be a pleasure to discuss with you your options for personal farewell flowers.
I offer coffin sprays, sheaf arrangements, wreaths, crosses or hearts and if your loved one had a favourite basket, garden trug, pair of boots or other personal item that you would like to incorporate into their tribute. Or,
if you or your loved one has garden flowers or foliage that you would like to be included in the design, I would be happy to discuss this with you.

My Love for Flowers
I am passionate about flowers and their ability to bring joy and beauty into people's lives. Our ability to purchase flowers cheaply and out of season has lead to a disconnect between their beauty and their environmental impact.
The Mechanics
My Love for Flowers
My Love for Flowers
My arrangements will be made without single use plastics or floral foam to ensure they are compostable or by using re-usable containers that can be returned to me or kept by family if they belong to you or your loved one.

Seasonal
I work with flowers, herbs and foliage available at the time of year, I always endeavour to provide the best quality blooms from UK suppliers and may also incorporate dried flowers into the design out of season (est Oct - Feb).
