Floristry inspired by the future of our planet.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rachel Ellis is a gardener and florist and the founder of Bude Botanical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bude Botanical is a planet positive floral design studio nestled in a small Victorian garden on the North Cornish coast and here Rachel creates beautiful floral arrangements for the significant days in her customers’ lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Sustainability<\/a> is at the heart of my floristry business and the design decisions I make have the future of our planet at their core. I believe that protecting nature is a duty of today’s modern florist and we can do that by carefully considering how we work. Choosing in-season, locally grown blooms (when they are available), working closely with our local flower farmers, and turning away from planet polluting floristry techniques ensures that my work leaves behind as light an environmental footprint as possible.<\/p>\nRachel Ellis, Bude Botanical<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

About Rachel<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\n\n

Before flowers, Rachel worked with words; writing, communicating and consulting for some of the UK’s leading arts and heritage organisations, – places like London’s Natural History Museum and Science Museum, Bristol’s Museums & Galleries, Bristol Old Vic and the Government Art Collection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent years she has developed a passion for gardening and floristry. Wanting to know everything about how to use the things that grew around her, she took herself off to learn from the master florists at the British Academy of Floral Art. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She qualified, with distinction, in October 2020. Since then she has been running a busy, environmentally minded floristry business, building up a portfolio of work with the loveliest of clients.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n
