My story

Thirty years with flowers in my hands

From a traditional apprenticeship to an RHS Chelsea Gold medal, and the studio I design from today.

A little about me

I am an award-winning floral designer, stylist and teacher based in Bristol, and an RHS Chelsea Gold medal winner. I served a traditional apprenticeship, achieved my National Diploma in Professional Floristry, and ran my own beautiful florist shop for 20 years. These days I work studio-based: teaching workshops, taking on freelance and installation work, and designing bespoke wedding flowers. It is extremely exciting where a humble apprenticeship in floristry has taken me.
