Creative Director at Nature's Florals

Eco focused local florist and botanical artist Rosie Barratt supplies south east London and further beyond with creations arranged in her Brockley studio.

 

A few examples -  Fresh and dried flower arrangements with local weekly deliveries, including flower subscriptions, weddings, special events, instillations and supply for editorial photoshoots and styling

​

All round lover of nature and the creative arts, she took a leap of faith into professional floristry and a new creative area in late 2017. Something happens with arranging flowers it’s like a little bit of magic when time has stopped and the delicate but powerful natural forms in the arrangements take their own shape in a creative process.

 

The excitement and energy in creating what a client orders is fantastic, but equally a place of peace and contentment. Being able to share all of this with clients and customers through the work that she adores is the driving force every day.

​

Before this she spent 15 years as a photographic picture researcher/editor in publishing. Part of this job was being surrounded by beautiful iconic imagery, stunning and hugely inspiring works and artists. But a time came when she felt the need to invest time in a longstanding desire to be in a more physically creative job, not stuck behind a desk. 

 

The creativity with plants and flowers is pure exploration and Rosie has always been at her happiest while using living and dried plants as a form of expression. Studying various forms of art including, photography, glass, painting and now floristry. I love to carry on the process of exploring exciting new ideas and techniques.

​

The deep connection with plants and nature has been growing since childhood. It all started from sharing a large proportion of time outside with nature in all its forms - in the dreamy family garden, at the allotment or camping. Having a father who was a landscape gardener and by spending time outside with him so much it inspired the love of plants, as did her mothers creativity in the garden and many forms of art - through life this has been a constant and is what grounds her.
