Before sharing my works done in Itlay I place a list of flowers and plants mostly used by florists in Europe, all in four languages. Some post might be written in Italian, so that can be a kind of guide. I will be updating it continously, as the list of the materials is quite long.

Hello Internet!

One year ago I moved to Rome, Italy and I work here as a florist. As a doughter of a floral designer I started to work in the field in the age of 9, that was my first job ever! Flowers were always playing a big role in my life, first years I was just helping my mother at the weekends and feasts, later started to work full time. In the mean time I was studying sculpture in Poland, working as an interior designer in Egypt, painter in Germany and now I am here in Italy playing around with flowers again. I enjoy it a lot and I decided to share my floral posts with you :)
