Having recently collaborated with Grown Not Flown and collected a Bronze Medal at the 2024 Melbourne Flower and Garden Show with a sustainable exhibit that ended with only 1 small piece of plastic from some chicken wire being the only thing to go into waste; we sit down to chat with Ellen Douglas, the tour de force behind Botany Melbourne.
Ellen is an apprentice trained florist who in 2020 went solo and created Botany as a alternative to conventional floristry. In Ellen's own words "While our industry excels in showcasing natural beauty, it often generates excessive waste. We are so passionate about creating beautiful floral arrangements that don’t compromise the planet which is why we believe in a different approach—a low-waste, eco-friendly model that supports local growers while delivering top-notch quality".
We talk about Ellen's flower journey to creating Botany and why sustainability is such a focus for her; how this lead to collabing with Grown Not Flown and why we should be supporting our local flower growers where possible. She also touches on her recent experience "going viral".
