Growing up in the garden alongside his parents and grandmother, Jamie always had a love for flowers and plants and quickly began working for a local florist while attending high school. It was there his love for floral design began to bloom as he would then go on to study Horticulture and attain a position with the prestigious Rideau Hall Greenhouse in Ottawa. Eventually Jamie was hired as a designer and horticulturalist at Tivoli Florists in Ottawa where he made his mark on the flower industry for the next five years. Having honed his professional and creative skills over the last number of years he confidently decided it was time to branch out on his own and open his own floral store aiming to satisfy the needs of those in search of high-quality specialty plants and custom European floral designs.

From high fashion to practical outdoor gear, alpaca products are making their mark.

We are utilizing home grown alpaca fibre as well as incorporating traditional local skills and knowledge in the production of our end product from rovings and yarn to duvets.

Our goal is to move people away from “fast fashion”, a mass produced highly disposable product.
