HELLO SPRING Hello flower lovers – welcome to our bumper spring issue. I adore springtime it brings milder lighter mornings, a feeling of freshness after winter and the scent of wandering jasmine on a sunny day is just magic. This issue we feature Fleur McHarg an inspirational leader in floral design. Fleur has also been one of the driving forces behind this magazine coming to life. From the moment I discussed putting this floral platform and magazine together some 12 months ago to showcase the amazing talent we have here in Australia and to connect like minded flower lovers, Fleur was full of encouragement and support, often ringing me and asking me “what is happening” “do you need anything?” and I thank her so much for that.
Another contributor this month is Luisa Brimble photographer. Luisa is a joy to know and work with and another key influencer of the magazine coming to life. Luisa has this gift of instilling the confidence that anything you want to do is possible – you just need to take the first step – you just need to try and in Luisa’s words “just do it”. The fact that she is a flower lover is another bonus. Luisa has captured our Flower Shop feature with Summers Floral and the feeling of spring beauty when we stepped into the flower cave of the gorgeous Myra Perez of My Violet.
Launching with this issue is our website – where you will be able to order/or subscribe to the print copy of the magazine and where we will load behind the scenes images, extended images of feature stories and blog about all things happening in the floral industry think design trends, colour palettes, workshops and much more. We are establishing a job board, freelance directory and an online shop as we move along so keep an eye on our instagram for all things new as they happen.
Enjoy the spring issue – we thank all of our talented Australian based contributors, our flower loving audience, our industry vendors who we respect so much and are grateful to you all for your support and positive feedback for the magazine. Sonya Gardiner 3.
