Hello! I'm Jennifer...
|
...and I am the designer, flower grower, owner and mom-preneur behind The Paisley Rose.
From humble beginnings rooted my passion for floral design and flower growing, but it took several years, and a series of messages from the universe, for me to take the plunge into full time small business ownership. In 2015, while on maternity leave with my first born (Paisley Rose) I had a bit more time to "play with flowers". To ignite a passion repressed for years I made weekly trips to a local greenhouse that sold cut flowers, I watched endless tutorials on YouTube, and I filled my small condo's 20 square foot balcony with a raised flower bed, potted plants and hanging baskets. That year -on impulse- I agreed to design flowers for a friend of a friend's wedding. A massive wedding. My first wedding... and it was MAGICAL! Empowered by the success and the support of my family and friends, I took the leap to register the business, enrol in formal accredited training and start my flower journey! Now entering into my eighth year of business, with countless arrangements, weddings, workshops and farmers market appearances as my foundation, The Paisley Rose is my full time passion. With endless dreams for the future, I can't wait to share my love of flowers with you! |
Accreditation and Awards
Homegrown and Responsibly Sourced Products
|
As a feminist and advocate for environmental consciousness, we commit to using local and/or responsibly grown varieties in all of our designs. In the summer months many varieties are harvested from our micro flower farm here in Mississauga. No chemicals are used in the production of these homegrown blooms, and rainwater harvesting is practiced for responsible irrigation.
In the off-season and to supplement those larger orders, we primarily order Ontario grown product, or international product from flower farms proven to uphold the highest standards for environmental consciousness and human rights. Every effort is made to avoid using bleached, painted and unnaturally preserved botanicals in our designs. |
