Bloom together with Florish!

Customer testimonial

“I loved Bernadette’s Flower Workshop. I learned a new method while meeting new neighbors and visiting with old friends. It was so much fun I love my bouquet with flowers that are staying in place using this new method. Brenda B, Lions Bay Thank you for a wonderful morning workshop Bernadette!!! Your knowledge and expertise was wonderful. I enjoyed watching all the others create their own masterpiece and seeing the finished products. Wow!!! Barbara S, Lions Bay Thank you for a fun afternoon of learning and creating!! And for supplying the beautiful flowers. Everyone at home was very impressed with the finished product Theresa R, Vancouver Thank you Bernadette for a fantastic flower workshop. The idea to “fill up our coolers” was very original and I loved your creative solution to work with chicken wire to keep the flowers in place!! Many thanks!! Danja B, Vancouver What a really wonderfully heart warming experience. Great to reconnect with many, and meet some new people too. Your outdoor space and workshop flow is perfection. Thanks for running these community workshops Bernadette! Tamara L, Lions Bay Thank you so much for hosting a fabulous morning. I have to say, as a newcomer to Lions Bay, your workshop was a perfect way for me to socialize with local women and to exercise some personal creativity (neither of which have been easy during the pandemic). I highly recommend this class to anyone wanting to carve out some sensory stimulating “me time“ and to start/continue with this rewarding healthy hobby. Please let me know when you plan to host another worship. I’m in!! Mandy C, Lions Bay

About Florish

A Dutch Canadian turning her hobby into her business. In my childhood, we often had flowers at home. When I started living on my own, it became a habit to buy a weekly fresh bouquet. In the Netherlands we have so many flower shops I loved to browse around for new ideas and plants. Moving to a new country changes everything. Flowers and Design were always on my mind. Some courses in this particular field helped me to start - up a small business. During the pandemic, I felt the urge to be more creative and share the vibes. This is how Florish was born, since then, I have been working with flowers and creating workshops, in a safe way, for the community resulting in a small neighborhood grant from the West Vancouver Small Business Foundation. So come on, and check out yourself! The workshops are for everybody at any stage in life.
