- Janita Preshaw - Owner
Almost 30 years ago I stumbled into a gorgeous old weatherboard cottage where a busy little flower shop buzzed within. I was looking for work and had decided I liked the idea of becoming a florist. I never would have imagined then that twenty odd years down the track I would be the happiest little florist in town standing behind my very own counter in my very own flower shop!
Over the past two decades I have been privileged to work with some very talented florists and I will be forever grateful for all the skills I've been taught and all the lessons I have learned. Thanks to all of you.
Surprisingly though, the person I have to thank the most was an apprentice I worked with a couple of years ago who is now one of my dearest friends. Her love and complete awe in the beauty of flowers and the art of floristry is what rekindled my passion and inspired me to go ahead with my dream and open my own flower shop.
Now here I am and it's time to get down to some serious flower business!
My flower philosophy is 'fresh is best, seasonal is sensible'. I stock the best quality flowers that I can source and, where possible, I prefer to source from local growers.
Flower care is high on my list of priorities. A few basic steps is all it takes to get the most life out of your blooms and ensure you get the best value for your money.
My favourite aspect of floristry is customer service. I love discussing with each customer the reason behind their purchase and the details of where the flowers will end up. I feel it is important to do this in order to provide a personal touch to my work. The next step is gathering the flowers and foliage to create a unique arrangement styled to suit each occasion and that is why I love my job!
