Get to know Claygate Flowers

How do you express your creativity?
Through our bouquets and arrangements. Every design is unique with fresh blooms selected daily. Each of our clients has different requirements and it is a joy to create something unique every day.

How does this bring you joy?
When we see our client's faces light up! When we have hit the brief and exceeded expectations it's an amazing feeling.

Who or what is your creative inspiration?
In floristry we are very lucky that the natural world is our inspiration. The changing seasons in particular, bring a palette of new colours, shapes and textures to our work. In Autumn we enjoy seed heads, grasses and deep pink blooms, whereas the spring brings fluffy ranunculus and blossom branches.

How did you start your creative journey?
After working in the motorsport industry for several years it was time for a change. I wanted to be creative, to be my own boss and to have more time for family life. Floristry was the answer and I haven't looked back!

What advice would give someone embarking on a journey of creative self expression?
Just go for it! Find something you enjoy and experiment.
