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 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 what i focus on when in the landscape. The dynamics of the Forms, textures, and colours can create a space that can emit any number of thoughts and emotions. It is no different when it comes to creating floral arrangements. whether it be for a large scale event or a single vase on a table.
Growing up, My Dad and his side of the family always owned and worked in flower shops. Now that my own family has a little garden center on our 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.
