Welcome to my new website!

WHO AM I? 

Hello everyone! I am so excited to launch my brand-new website! It is a site about one of the things I am most passionate about. Flowers and the flower industry. Let me back up if you just stumbled on this site. My name is Heather de Kok. I have been a florist for over 20 years. I own a flower shop and I LOVE the flower industry. Over the past 20 years, I have done so many things, 

  • Worked on 2 floats for the Tournament of Roses parade in Pasadena California
  • Represented Canada twice in an international floral design competition In Brazil and one in The United States! (Came in first for tablescapes)
  • Named one of the 50 most influential floral designers in the world.
  • Did flowers at a State dinner at the White House for President Obama
  • Was a technical advisor for the World Cup of Flowers (The Floral Olympics)
  • Created and still host the Maple Leaf Cup Floral Design Competition (Canada’s National Design competition)
  • Write for 2 prominent floral design magazines

 Long story short! I have done a lot. 

WHAT IS THIS BLOG ABOUT? 

One of the things I love to do is educate people about everything flowers. From the flower farms to Flower shops and everything in between. The flower business is a $150 Billion business globally so there is so much to talk about! I look forward to sharing my adventures and my expertise here for you.
