Floral Design, Rooted in Nature
Enjoy beautiful floral designs while knowing you are making a sustainable choice for our planet.
No Floral Foam...Ever!
My Commitment to Foam-Free Design
Protecting Our Waterways, One Stem at a Time: My studio is a strictly foam-free space. While many traditional designs still rely on green floral foam for stability, this material—made of polystyrene and formaldehyde—never fully decomposes. Even centuries later, it breaks down into microplastics that pose a direct threat to our local marine life and the Hudson River ecosystem.
The Sustainable Choice: I utilize traditional, reusable, and biodegradable mechanics to support my arrangements for both my Fresh collection and my Everlasting collection.
Nature-Friendly Artistry: By opting for sustainable alternatives, I create wildflower-inspired designs that are as kind to the planet as they are beautiful in your home. It’s a more sustainable way to celebrate the seasons, ensuring that the only thing our flowers leave behind is a lasting memory.
Slow Flowers—Farm-to-vase
Ultra-Local & Thoughtfully Sourced
I believe flowers should stay close to home. My Fresh Collections are harvested "ultra-locally"—either from my own cottage garden or from sustainable farms within 100 miles of my Hastings-on-Hudson studio.
For my Everlasting Collection, I blend my own garden-dried stems with specialty florals from like-minded, sustainable farms in the Hudson Valley and the Pacific Northwest. I partner exclusively with domestic growers who share my "Slow Flower" commitment to foam-free, chemical-free, and earth-friendly practices.
Freshness You Can See and Smell
A Longer Life in Your Vase: Local flowers are cut just days—sometimes hours—before they reach your hands. Unlike imported blooms that spend a week in refrigerated boxes, my flowers will always be delivered ultra fresh and chemical-free.
The Fragrance Nature Intended: If you have ever experienced my homegrown tulips, you know they smell delicious. Mass-shipped flowers lose their scent in cold storage and are often drenched in chemicals before they enter the USA; local flowers retain the sweet, intoxicating fragrance. While I respect the hard work of farmers everywhere, I will always choose local fresh flowers. Because my blooms don't have to survive a 4,000-mile journey in a box, they don't require the heavy fungicides or synthetic preservatives used in the global trade. You can put your nose right into a Muriel Fleurs bouquet and smell nothing but nature.
