While working with flowers, i feel an enormous respect and gratitude for nature. 

In my perspective it's important to respect nature to the fullest as florists. That's why I will never work with oase, better known as "floral foam", but will always replace it with natural mosses. Although this requires a more profound effort, from both an ideological and ecological perspective, I find this to be definitely worthwhile. 
I also collaborate with small, organic and local self-picking flower gardens. Being able to support these gardens and to not have to invest in the polluting flower industry too much is a win-win situation for me. And I get to pick every flower myself! In my other practice I work as a scenographer so I'm used to work in black boxes with no daylight and being constantly surrounded by cables. So to be able to get my scissors out and dive into these gardens is a form of therapy for me. 
It's clear that local flower gardens only have seasonal flowers and don't have the widest product range to offer. For that reason, I supplement with flowers from the wholesale range, because I will always strive to create the perfect setting according to the client's preferences.
