Flowers for any occasion
Events of all kinds are made more momentous with flowers. I would be honoured to create memorable arrangements for your event in the GTA or Durham Region! A birthday, intimate weddings, showers, meetings - you name it.
Since 2016 I have been growing tulips, ranunculus, dahlias, and a whole host of amazing flowering perennials and annuals in my large cutting garden in Whitby. From April to October, each of my floral designs begins with the stems I cut from this small but mighty plot. The harvest changes from week to week and no growing season is the same. This is the beauty of seasonal floral design: every arrangement is specific to its particular moment in time.
Just give me a colour palette and trust me to pull together the rest of the design! Of course if you have specific flowers in mind I do my best to source them. If you need more flowers than I can grow, or if you need them outside of my April-October growing season, I buy in first from other local growers; then Canadian growers farther afield; then from international growers even farther afield.

Garden Design and Care
It is one of my greatest pleasures to design and plant home gardens and to care for them over time. My main goal is to design a low-maintenance, textured, four-season garden that looks good from the first spring bulb's appearance all the way through the harsh winters. I'm happy to overhaul existing garden beds or dig brand new beds within your lawn - I just haven't expanded into hardscaping yet. I embrace every environment from full sun to deep shade. There is a garden for every space.
Drawing inspiration from many styles, I lean strongly on layers of perennial plantings that last for many years. Native plants feature heavily. I also love to incorporate a variety of annuals, as well as ornamental grasses and groundcover, which tend to be lower maintenance. Of course, as a cut flower grower, I can choose plants that would keep your vases overflowing. Homeowners who love to cook might find edible flowers and vegetables in their gardens. My designs adapt to your tastes, whether they tend toward the informal and wild, or symmetric and structured.
Although maybe not as exciting as your garden's initial reveal, the really fun part begins after its installation. We get to watch it grow and evolve! It takes about three growing seasons for a perennial garden to fully mature, but the wait is so worth it. I can help your garden along with a light but steady hand. Ideally, that would be a monthly visit involving an hour or so of weeding, transplanting, pruning - maybe two hours in June when the weeds really take off. As a homeowner, you might be called on to give a good watering through dry spells, but otherwise you can be as hands-off as you'd like. If you want to be more involved, I am just as happy to act as your guide as you work throgh the gardening tasks yourself.
