If backed into a very tight and uncomfortable corn

If backed into a very tight and uncomfortable corner and forced to choose this might, just might be my most favourite flower ever! And I may, just may have bought a few more plants for the garden as I do every year. It does mean each spring I have more and more nodding under the trees and so consequently more to pick and use which is such a treat! My garden ones aren’t out yet so I will be planting these later today having used some yesterday for the February filming of A Winter Learning from Nature...my next online course coming to you very soon!

Fruit forward. 🍊🌿

In our recent fleuropean floristry kit, Emily chose to incorporate citrus into her design session. The branched fruit served as a foundational element for the base of the arrangement and made for a unique touch paired alongside the sweet spring narcissus.

Local flowers are coming back soon, soon, SOON! Hi

Local flowers are coming back soon, soon, SOON! Hip hip hooray!! My subscription options for your home or business are a great way to enjoy the growing season as it unfurls around us. For my spring and summer subscriptions, I’ll be using at least 50% local product (and will be aiming for 💯!!).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'll go into more detail soon--or check it out anytime over on my website.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We’re used to hearing calls to “eat local”, but why should we also “flower local” when possible?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Well, first, local flowers tend to be more sustainably farmed, so they are better for the environment than a conventionally grown flower. (And I only say “tend” because I don’t know ALL the local farms, but all the ones I know are dedicated to sustainable practices!) They're better for my health as a florist and your health as a consumer. They support awesome local farmers!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Second, they also didn't have far to travel, so they are at their very freshest--which means that I feel more comfortable giving you some of the more delicate beauties in a weekly bouquet, because I know they'll still last for a few days in your home.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And BEST OF ALL, they are just FUN! It’s like an ongoing present from the world to see each new beauty as it emerges in its proper order in the growing season. Along with foraging, local flowers are my favorite way to connect to the actual growing season around us, HERE in the DC area. Being aware of our place and time in the world helps us to live better into the beauty and challenges right where we are, and I believe local flowers are as much a part of that as local produce.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What do you think? Do you seek out local flowers?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I love soft color palettes and have tried to create with them on multiple occasions... but my online supplier keeps substituting my flowers with bright funky colors 😂😂😂

NJ florists - which wholesalers do you recommend??

o n e t h i n g . . . . What’s the one thing

o n e t h i n g . . . .

What’s the one thing you’re focusing on the most in your business this year?

• feel more clear & in control?

• become a more sustainable and earth focused florist?

• increase your client base & revenue?

• organise your back end systems & automation?

• up-skill & offer designs you really want to create?

• find a like minded floral tribe that will support & share rather than judge?

• discover ‘your signature style’ & step into that with confidence to stand apart from your competition?

If there is a Y E S to any of these Q’s, or (like me at different times in my career) a yes to all of them , let’s chat.

My 20 min discovery calls are free x

I’ve been helping florists & budding florists with these issues for so long now & I’d be so happy to help you to.

And that’s a wrap on Valentine’s Day 2021 💌

And that’s a wrap on Valentine’s Day 2021 💌 I’ve been in the floral industry for a few years now so I knew Valentine’s is never easy. I was prepared for the hard labor. I planned out dates, did the flower math, placed pre-orders weeks in advance, all the things you’re supposed to do. What I was not prepared for was that even if you do all these things right, there are circumstances out of your control that can crumble even the most well thought out plans. The stress of this made me reconsider every move I’ve ever taken as Floral Anthology and seriously shook my confidence. In the end, I’m extremely grateful for a couple of wonderful wholesalers, the beauty of flowers that healed every insecurity I had about this holiday the moment that I touched them, and the reward of meeting so many new faces and watching your reactions to the flowers. Now to continue my day of rest 💭📖
