Hello & welcome! I’m Becky, possibly best described as part gardener and part artist. My path through cut flower growing, floral art, floristry & garden making has been a winding one, but these different elements have been woven together by a desire to create something — be it a garden, an art work, or an arrangement — that lights something up in the human spirit.  It’s an ideal that can sometimes get overshadowed by the day-to-day practicalities of the work, but it’s the intention to which I return when making anything new.

I’ve had some incredible settings in which to work, including, between 2014 - 2019, serving as the cut flower grower at Chatsworth House, an historic treasure house in Northern England, home to the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire. 

During this time I began documenting the incredible variety of seasonal flowers through botanical photography. This has been a soul-nourishing creative outlet for me and a medium through which to share beauty and plant knowledge with many like-minded flower lovers. Over the last eight years this regular practice of observing / documenting / arranging has turned into a substantial body of work. I’m over the moon to now be working with a local printer to help bring these images to life on beautiful paper as fine art quality prints. The first of these are now available in my online shop!

In late 2019, I moved to North America to work alongside celebrated farmer-florist Erin Benzakein, founder of Floret.  I spent two years on her 24-acre farm helping to design numerous teaching and display gardens, a series of plantings to attract beneficial insects, wooded areas, as well as over a mile of mixed hedgerows.

I returned to England in late 2021 and since then, alongside setting up my print business, I’ve had the opportunity to design two new cutting gardens. 

The first of these has been in collaboration with award-winning designer Luciano Giubbilei as part of his re-design of a walled garden at Raby Castle in County Durham.  The second is set within the new private garden of my former employers at Chatsworth, The Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, which rather wonderfully, brings me full circle to where this seasonal flower growing adventure began, in Derbyshire!  I’m looking forward to seeing both of these new gardens come to life in 2024.

I share more about this flower filled journey on Instagram and in my monthly newsletter. I’d love you to join me, thank you so much for being here!
