Nicole Bowman

DESIGNER

Nearly a decade ago, I began my design journey while studying and living in Canberra, Australia. After returning home to New Zealand, and having moved to St John’s Hill, Whanganui, I enjoy cultivaing a garden that inspires my creations.

I design in a lush garden design style, and I attribute this generous and relaxed style to nature itself and growing my own flowers. While in the garden, I do draw upon my landscape design training - observing contour, shape and texture; and taking note of tiny moments of joy and movement as part of the overall surroundings. I work to translate these garden observations into my floral design work.

I grow organically and am trained in sustainability practice. My flowers are truly seasonal and local, and you will only ever receive what is at its most beautiful and best on the day and are designed to encourage, cheer and bring joy.
