About me:

In my spare time I grow a variety of seasonal cut flowers in Pongakawa, Bay of Plenty, with a focus on unique hard to find blooms. I have had a passion for growing from a young age and want people to be able to experience the joy of having flowers around them.

Flowers have the ability to instantly make someone’s day better. They can transport us back to a moment in time, keeping special memories alive for many people.

For me it has always been about the flowers - foraging, growing and arranging them. I was fortunate to be encouraged by time spent gardening with my grandmothers and soaking in the lessons they had to share.

Having completed a BSc in Botany and Environmental Management I am trialling different regenerative and organic growing methods, with a focus on improving the microbes, bacteria and fungi in the soil.
