I’m Lindsey (although everyone calls me Linz) and I’ve been married to Nick for 32 years (we met at school) we have two grown up sons Harry and Angus and I’m the extrovert to my introverted husband!
Truth be toild I never planned on becoming a florist, I originally trained as a nurse and went on to graduate as a midwife. What started as a creative outlet during a career break raising my family quickly flourished into a thriving florist business.
I’m an enthusiastic cook and I love to forage for ingredients, I grow a few veg in my garden alongside favourite spring flowering bulbs and in summer sweet peas and dahlias; truth is I’m never happier sitting around a table eating delicious food with friends and family. Arranging flowers is a lot like cooking: it’s all about sourcing the best seasonal ingredients - what you do with these is where the magic happens.
On a serious note, I do think we should all take responsibilty towards the urgent environmental issues of our time. As a florist I set an example by arranging all flowers without the use of single-use plastics or floral foam, TWHFCo up-cycles, recyles, composts waste and wraps all bouquets in brown or unbleached paper. Little things which if we all did so collectively, would make such a difference.
Alongside importing some of my flowers from abroad, I also buy many right here in the UK, by using locally grown flowers and foliage we appreciate the ebb and flow of the seasons. Truth be told, I buy locally mostly because I think they embellish my arrangements immeasurably, knowing they’ve been picked to order and arrive in my studio within a day of being cut adds to my enjoyment of being a florist no end.
A favourite part of my job is when a customer first sets eyes on their flowers, the look on their face when hopes and aspirations turn into a reality is a pleasure I’ll never tire of.
I hope the pictures here and on instagram inspire you to get in touch and see what I can do to you.
