Our Story
Nature has always brought me a sense of calm and peace. I’ve nurtured flowers for as long as I can remember – trying to coax beauty from tiny stolen spaces in shady corners, pots precariously balanced on windowsills.
Escaping from the city to the open spaces of Somerset has let me take my successes, failures, and lessons taken from a lifetime of growing on a miniature scale to care for my own patch of land, to help nature produce something that I can share with the world.
“Flowers and fruits are always fit presents; flowers because they are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the utilities of the world.... these delicate flowers look like the frolic and interference of love and beauty.”
— Waldo Emerson
My aim is to bring joy, calm, and peace in celebration or in comfort, for a special day or for a lifetime.
I use living displays to celebrate the present, and everlasting arrangements to capture a fleeting moment, a snapshot in time and place, giving permanence to transitory beauty.
I also want to help others on the same journey, sharing the knowledge and the tools to coax their own beauty from their own patch of land.
My why
My ethos
The idea of The Flowerer was born in my vegetable patch one summer’s evening. Inspired by the rhythmic, unrelenting undulations and cycles of nature, I try to capture the beauty around me, combining what I cultivate with what I can forage from the secret spots I find among the meadows, paths, and woodlands that surround me. I grow on the grounds of an old post office on the edge of an ancient Saxon village, surrounded by my children, a whirlwind of muddy hands and wet wellies.
