Our Story
Founded over ten years ago, The Flower Appreciation Society is a thriving, Hackney based flower studio. As the name suggests, we love what we do and the flower arrangements we create. Whether sharing our expertise with other flower appreciators in our workshops, working with couples to create beautiful flower arrangements for their weddings, or collaborating with well-known brands to create flower installations for events and shoots, we always bring huge enthusiasm and attention to detail to everything that we do. We source many of our flowers from our very own cutting garden around the corner from our studio. This is not only better for bees and the environment but better for you: our seasonal ‘garden grown flowers’ allow us to create beautifully wild and natural looking arrangements.
We are firmly rooted in the community: having grown up around the corner from the studio and our cutting garden is five minutes down the road. We want to share all things flowery as widely as we can, and we look forward to getting flowery with you!

Our Garden
To really understand flowers we knew we had to grow our own, and now we do. We transformed a disused backyard in Hackney into an urban oasis. In spring and summer - when the sun shines and bees buzz around the cosmos, dahlias, snap dragons and poppies - there’s no place we’d rather be.
Our admiration for flowers deepened while we nurtured them from seed to maturity. It’s honed our eye for detail too. We love bendy stems, frilly petals and trailing vines; untamed touches that add character and intrigue to our arrangements.
