I offer fully guided floral design workshops in both community and private setting for adults and children. I also offer Bloom Bars to add a floral experience to any private event.

I am a classically trained, certified florist with years of retail, wedding and public exhibition experience. I was also a teacher.

I combine my professional knowledge with sustainable design techniques and unexpected materials to encourage you relax, have fun and express your own creativity.

I prioritize seasonal, local flowers and small businesses over imported flowers, big box stores and giant online retailers. With my business, I aim to be a positive impact on my community and our planet.

It’s ok! I know flowers and floral design can be intimidating, but that’s exactly why I started my business!

After attending one of my workshops, you will know what to look for when purchasing flowers at a farmer’s market or the grocery store. You’ll know how to care for and arrange the flowers, so they last and look their best. Even if you order an arrangement from a florist, you will better understand the process and know what to ask for, ensuring you get the perfect floral gift.

Yes! Firstly, I believe flowers and nature as a whole are equal-opportunity joys. Everyone is welcome at Forage Joy Florals!

Furthermore, some of the most creative and talented florists I know are men. I also have two sons, who both grew up learning about flowers, helping me in the garden, and even occasionally helping deliver flowers! Even my husband is quite knowledgeable about flowers and foliage now. :)

No. I occasionally work as a freelance florist, but I personally do not offer wedding floral services.

I do know many talented, creative florists in the Triad who can take care of all your wedding floral dreams! Contact me and I’ll be happy to connect you.
