Hi, I’m Emma – florist at Linden Grove Floral.

After spending two years living in London, I came home with a fresh perspective and a pull toward something more creative. The mix of busy city life and quiet garden spaces over there made me realise I wanted to do something hands-on and meaningful.

I didn’t come straight into floristry. I worked for years as a pharmacy technician and medical administrator, but I often felt overworked and uninspired. I knew I needed a change—something that made better use of the creative side of me I’d always had.

I grew up on a farm, where I was surrounded by gardening, flowers, and making things with my hands—thanks to my mum and both of my grandmothers. That influence stuck with me. Now, I run Linden Grove Floral from my home studio in Ōtautahi Christchurch, creating floral work for weddings and events.

I like working with the seasons, using locally grown flowers as much as possible, and sometimes things from my own garden. My approach is simple: create thoughtful, well-made arrangements that feel like they belong to the space and the people they’re for.

If you're planning a wedding or event and want flowers that feel natural, intentional, and personal, I’d love to hear from you.
