Welcome to The Garden of Evie  

Eco-Florist using Sustainable Floristry Practices

​

I'm Hannah, a qualified eco-friendly florist with a background in interior design.  Working from my workshop and micro flower patch in Yorkshire, I bring you sustainable, ethical flowers with integrity.  

Inspired by nature, the seasons and my love of gardens, my flowers are slow & considered - a move away from our fast paced throw-away society. I use British & locally grown flowers over imported, mass produced and chemically grown flowers because these leave a huge carbon footprint & are grown without care for the environment & its workers.  I never use floral foam (Oasis) in my designs as it is toxic to our health. I don't wrap my flowers in plastic for cellophane and or use plastic ribbons.

​

I am passionate about using seasonal, scented, artisan flowers in my work, often grown by me or sourced from a network of local and British growers, which supports independent local businesses.  It also reduces the miles your flowers have to travel and keeps the bees happy.  My business is founded on putting our planet & people before profit.

​

I offer wild, untamed farewell tributes, seasonal & dried wreaths, wedding florals for couples who are eco conscious & creative workshops for groups or 1:1 sessions & occasionally attend fairs & markets.

I am a member of Flowers From the Farm which is a multi award-winning, not-for-profit, co-operative of British cut flower growers.  You can read more about this here.

I'm committed to looking after the earth & embed sustainability into my business.  I donate 2% of all sales to Tree Sisters, an organisation funding the restoration of environments, biodiversity and communities through reforestation projects and in the process, planting millions of trees. 

My flowering calendar reflects the British growing season & runs throughout the year as follows:-

​

January, February & March 

Farewell flowers, fresh & dried wreaths, planters, workshops

​

April to September 

Farewell flowers, fresh & dried wreaths, planters, workshops & wedding flowers

​

Farewell flowers, fresh & dried  wreaths, planters, workshops & Christmas arrangements

​

Gift bouquets are sometimes available by special request . I have a minimum spend of £50 & require plenty of notice - as I am not a shop I do not carry stock.  

Farewell Flowers

I specialise in eco-friendly funeral flowers prefect for those that loved their gardens, flowers & nature. I create tributes that are very personal using sustainable, seasonal flowers that have a low carbon footprint.
