Hello, I’m Karen, grower and floral designer at Green Daisy.
Flowers have always been my thing for as long as I can remember, whether it be picking them as a child, drawing them, or embroidering daisies onto some old faded dungarees …hence the name - but more of that later.
I started my horticultural career over 25 years ago studying horticulture and then garden design, I have worked as a gardener, for Architectural Plants nursery, as a garden designer, and as a college lecturer. I have loved all of those jobs but have found now that flower farming and floristry bring all the elements I love of those jobs into one package
Growing flowers - love it
Maintaining flowers - love that too
Being creative with flowers - really love that
So I love flowers, but I also love the countryside and wildlife around me, so by growing my own flowers I can grow without using chemicals, I can grow with minimal impact on the soil, I can grow to support the ecosystem around me.
So if you choose to buy our flowers, not only will you have local, beautiful, seasonal, British flowers in your home or at your wedding, you will have made a positive impact on the environment too.
I chose the name Green Daisy for my green credentials and for the perfection of the daisy flower if you are a bee!
We grow and arrange flowers for you, your business, or your event using sustainable and ethical practices.
We produce our flowers without the use of chemicals, we look after the health of the soil, we care for our environment, we limit the use of single-use plastics and do not use peat in our growing mediums.
This ethos continues into our floral designs we don’t use single-use plastics, which includes the use of traditional floral foam, rather we find ways to design our floral displays but without compromising on the quality or aesthetic of our florals.
We provide a range of floral services including wedding flowers, sympathy flowers, and dried florals too. Please visit our home page for further information about these services.
