Every winter, we deck the halls of the Garden Museum with seasonal flowers and foliage, as we invite five floral designers to transform the museum into a winter wonderland, providing inspiration for your own festive decorations for the holidays ahead.
With sustainability at the heart, their installations will be made using only British-grown seasonal flowers and foliage, and environmentally-friendly materials and methods.
This year’s exhibiting floral designers are: Flùr, Billy Loves Flowers, Yinari, Botanical Tales and Joanne Truby.
Billy Hillhouse is a London-based florist with a background in art history. Inspired by Cecil Beaton’s idea of off-hand perfection, and often working with foraged flowers, her approach is one of minimal intervention, one where flowers and foliage can speak for themselves, allied with playful or unexpected touches.
Career highlights include exhibiting at Chelsea Flower Show, Tate Modern’s 25th anniversary gala, and several Burberry Fashion Shows, including Makers House. Her client list includes Sotheby’s, Cole & Son, Paul Smith and Netflix.
Bex is a floral artist whose work explores the intersection of nature, storytelling and place.
