So what’s in a name? Quite a lot really, Olive May Floral Design is a mini tribute to two great women. Both of my Nans.
They were both great lovers of flowers and while I only got to meet Olive the stories of May’s love of flowers were a big inspiration to me. Both of these women struck a chord with me and inspired my fascination with all things floral.
Nan Olive – ever fond of her garden, taking care of her borders and beloved roses; which she always told me to keep away from in case I damaged them… Oh how things have changed!.
My Nan May was never lucky enough to have a large garden to grow and enjoy her blooms, instead she utilised pots to grow her plants or flowers and enjoyed them that way.
They both had a great love for roses of any kind, just like me, my favourites being scented garden roses.
