I have always had a love of flowers, my earliest memories are of picking violets in my grandmothers garden, sweetpeas and old fashioned freesias in my Grandpas vege garden, hydrangea in my Great Nanas garden and lily of the valley in my Auntys garden. Their scent and beauty infuse my senses even now. I started my working life in a bank, crazy I know! it took until my first year of marriage and a chance encounter with a beautiful retired florist to realise that working with flowers was always what I wanted to do. She took me under her wing, taught me the techniques I needed and then set me free with the words " I've taught you the techniques now go and create". That's a few years and four kids ago, and I love every minute of what I do.
BellaRosa started about 6 years ago with a wee shop in Waipawa, I now work from my home studio on our wee lifestyle block in Central Hawkes Bay and balance floral design with family life, its busy, crazy and I wouldn't change a thing.
