About

Hi there,

Thanks for checking us out! My name is Emily, and I’m the owner and head designer at Country Florist Designs. What started out as a creative seasonal outlet for using my garden flowers has flourished into a year-round business.

My educational background is in horticulture, but my love for design has always been at the forefront of my focus when in the landscape. When taken into consideration, the dynamics of form, texture, and colour can create a space which emits a multitude of thoughts and emotions. It is no different when it comes to designing and creating a floral arrangement. Whether it be multiple pieces for a large scale event or a single vase on a table.

My Dad’s side of the family owned their own flower shop, and has always worked in and around the industry. Now that my own family has a little 5-acre hobby farm, it was inevitable that our seasonal shop would also become a floral studio. What started out as a love for gardening has come full circle back into the family career of floristry.

As a horticulturalist and a florist, I like my designs to look and feel like they are in harmony with nature. I love incorporating greenery, working with seasonal blooms, and really creating a natural feel throughout my work.

At Country Florist Designs we see flowers for what they are; a part of nature. We strive to be environmentally cautious and limit any use of plastic materials. Our flowers are locally sourced, and sometimes cut fresh from our ever-expanding gardens right here at the farm.

For me, working with nature is not a job, it’s a lifestyle. I heard once “to garden is to create”, and I couldn’t have worded it any better myself.
