Hello! I’m Emma, the Florist at Linden Grove Floral. With several years of experience, my journey in floristry began after my OE living in London for 2 years. The charm of English gardens and the vibrancy of big city life inspired me to pursue a career in floristry.
Gardening, crafting, and floral arranging were an early part of my life growing up on the farm, with both my grandmothers and my mum involving me in all kinds of creative hobbies. I'm grateful to have found my true creative outlet in working with flowers. After spending several years as a pharmacy technician and medical administrator, I found myself feeling bored, overworked, and deeply undervalued. I knew I needed a change—a career that allowed me to be creative and pursue something I was truly passionate about.
I enjoy creating with flowers in various styles, constantly inspired by the changing seasons. I prioritize using local flowers and being as sustainable as possible. As a keen gardener, I often incorporate flowers from my garden into my designs, adding that special touch.
I now reside in Ōtautahi Christchurch, NZ, where I create beautiful floral arrangements from my home studio for clients. I’d love to meet with you and look forward to planning the flowers for your special event very soon. Thank you for choosing Linden Grove Floral!
