Hello, I'm Sam

From the age of 12, after watching the 1964 film "My Fair Lady", I've wanted to be a florist. After floristry college in 1993 I worked in a local shop in Hoddesdon, my home town, until 2012, with six months in a florist in Australia along the way. The amazing contrast in flowers and style there still inspires my designs today.

In 2021 I took the leap and set up Darling Buds. Darling is my maiden name, so it was meant to be! From my garden studio in Hoddesdon I create wedding and event flowers, funeral tributes made with care, bouquets and seasonal workshops. I look forward to creating something wonderful for you, whatever the occasion.

With love, Sam x
