Our team

Nicole Phillips worked in corporate communications and design research for over 20 years, she is also a printmaker, publisher and turned florist (by way of a midlife crisis floristry course!). "What started as a love of gardening and creating with my hands has grown into a passion for helping people mark life’s moments with flowers." Bre Barker is an energetic and creative florist, a cake maker, nail tech and tattooist her creative flair is expressed in many outlets. She is also a customer experience super star and loves to help people. "I love to play with pretty things to make peoples day". You’ll still (often) find previous store owners Sue Gwynne and Jacqui Russell in store today, sharing their knowledge and laughter alongside our talented casual support team — Hayley Sullivan, Bethany Wakelin and Nicole's husband Mike, who keeps our supply fresh and our wheels turning. From a simple bloom or petite posy to an abundant bespoke bouquet, our team is here to help you choose something beautiful — and always happy to add the finishing touch with lush houseplants, locally made treats, artisan hampers and New Zealand-made chocolates. Pop in, say hi and let us help you make everyday life a little more beautiful — it’s what we’ve always done best.
