I founded The Little Green Flower Company due to my sheer love for flowers & nature. For many years, after a long working week in teaching, each Saturday (early) morning I would treat myself to a trip to the local flower market. Where I would buy a selection of flowers to take home and arrange. All week I would enjoy watching them bloom and change - a little slice of nature for me to enjoy!

​

It became very clear how important being outside and around nature was to me and how glaringly miserable my teaching job made me - I needed something to light a spark in me; something that filled me with joy and that allowed for my creativity to be used, alongside nature.

​

After a little soul searching - cue the obligatory travelling & yoga teacher training - it became clear that flowers were my love. But, not just any flowers - the wild & whimsical designs were where my heart lay. Garden inspired and in-tune with the seasons. Not the average offering.

​

I found that I struggled to find naturally designed seasonal flowers & arrangements that reflected the seasons. This is something I wanted to change. My main goal when creating the business was to create unique, seasonal floral designs in as eco-friendly ways as possible.

 

Here began my training - no, I do not have a college NVQ or City & Guilds - instead I found training that was fine-tuned towards my preferences for natural design & eco-friendly methods - all with floral designers that I respected and admired (most 'official' training courses use floral foam - a big no for me).

​

I laid out the bones for my business, continued training whilst working, and when the time was right, I left my job... cue a global pandemic & complete world shut-down! The universe works in mysterious ways...

 

However, here I am years later & with my Marple Bridge Florist Shop (that I opened in March 2022). 

​

It's been a wild ride so far, let's see where it takes me next...
