How does one tap into their unique creativity and express it through their work? For Cara, it begins with curiosity — being present in the world and finding wonder in its smallest details. Inspiration might come from the curve of a petal, the shifting light in a garden, or the rhythm of the seasons. To her, play is not frivolous — it is essential. It’s through play that new ideas take shape and creativity truly blooms.

Floristry, she believes, is a living art form — one steeped in history, culture, and emotion. Cara draws inspiration from visionaries such as TJ McGrath and Susan McLeary, whose work redefines what sustainable floristry can be. Their philosophies resonate deeply: that beauty should be both breathtaking and responsible, artful yet kind to the Earth.

Guided by this belief, Cara approaches floral design as a fine art. In our designs, we forgo floral foam, choosing sustainable mechanics that align with our values. Each arrangement she creates is a conversation between form, color, and texture; a meditation on nature’s poetry. Her work embodies a quiet reverence for the land and a promise that beauty and sustainability can — and must — coexist.
