small floral design
supporting connection and slow time through local seasonal flowers
flowers are easy to love. as soon as i let myself open to flowers, they opened to me, and in doing so, they opened up connection and the vitality of sharing small moments of joy amidst an often unrelenting world.
flowers embody the entire spectrum of life and death in one stem. i am constantly fascinated by the way flowers embody change : as they age, they change in the way they look, the way they face, what shape they are, how they smell, even what they are: seed, sprout, foliage, flower, seed again. flowers are transformation, a lifespan and multiple generations in one body.
i have wanted to grow and arrange flowers since i was a young person, around 7 or 8 years old. it took 40 years for me to get here, and now i am grateful to get to share these flowers with you.
if you feel even the slightest tug at the corner of your mind that you will fall in love with flowers, too— even for one day— i invite you to bring one of these slow posey cups into your home.
while i currently work on a limited designer’s choice model of weekly availability, i have been known to do small-scale medium-to-large vase and table arrangements for birthdays, anniversaries, and graduations. let me know what you’d like and i’ll let you know what i can do.
(that’s me, hiding in the rhubarb.)
my bona fides:
completed Floret’s Flower Farming and Flower Arranging workshops
studied floral design with Alexis Koefoed and Stefani Bittner
read multiple books and learned to grow my own flowers, which i have tested for vase life and aesthetic appeal over five years
flowers are fucking cool and we really like each other!
