Katie McHardy is on a journey to educate herself and others about the Slow Flower Movement–encouraging people to support the local economy by buying seasonal and locally grown flowers.
Having recently returned to Hawke’s Bay she is tying her environmental and floristry passions together by establishing a sustainable cut flower garden on her family’s coastal farm in Aramoana.
McHardy embarked on her journey in floristry in 2017 and family connections led her to The Land Gardeners based at Wardington Manor, Oxfordshire.
