Where the wild things grow
Flora in the Wild began in 2018, born from my lifelong love of flowers and the untamed places they grow. Inspired by the windswept coast and the stillness of country days, each creation is made by hand — soft, nostalgic, and a little wild.
I work with flowers grown by local growers and those gathered seasonally from my own garden, following nature’s rhythm and letting the seasons guide what I create. Every bouquet and handcrafted gift is an invitation to pause, connect, and honour the gentle beauty in everyday life.
Here, beauty is imperfect, natural, and full of story.
Whether you’re sending something special or simply treating your own wild heart — thank you for letting me be part of your moment.

Workshops
Come gather with me.
My workshops are quiet, hands-on spaces where we slow down, play with beautiful flowers, and reconnect to creativity. You don’t need any experience — just curiosity, gentle hands, and a love for nature.
Whether it’s crafting a wild bouquet, making a dried flower wreath, or building something beautiful with the seasons, you’ll leave with something made by you — and a heart a little fuller than when you came.
