Flower Session: flower play for wellbeing 🌼
It’s always a joy to bring beautiful blooms to the Perinatal Wellbeing Centre and spend a lovely morning talking flowers, playing with flowers and watching everyone make beautiful bouquets!
It was wonderful to receive their feedback:
“Thanks again so much for your time, resources and energy today. The feedback from the ladies was overwhelmingly positive – they loved having the opportunity to do something creative and take home such beautiful blooms.”
We love being able to give back in this way 🌼

When you buy a bouquet from us, we donate $5 to Black Dog Institute to support mental health research.
We are happy to share that $390 from bouquet sales has been donated this quarter. This brings the total amount donated since we opened to $2287. Our goal is to reach $3000 by the end of year.
We love that together through flowers, we are helping Black Dog Institute to improve the lives of people impacted by mental illness through ground-breaking research, education programs, new clinical treatments and online mental health tools.

Thank you!
Plate up!
This is one of my favourite ways to display a bouquet at home. Using a plate allows all the elements of the bouquet to be on show: the flowers, the spiralled stems and the balance of the bouquet.

What is the goop?
When we send out wrapped bouquets, we keep the stems hydrated in case you are not home to receive them.
The goop in the bag is water storage crystals which absorb water and swell, keeping the stems hydrated. It’s non-toxic and biodegradable and you can put it in your garden or on your pot plants.
Once you bring your flowers inside, we recommend placing them in a vase with clean water as soon as possible as that is the best way to keep them fresh!

Flowers of my childhood
Growing up in Taiwan, I spent every weekend playing in my grandparents’ garden filled with azaleas.
So to play with the azaleas blooming now in my garden is so nostalgic, as azalea represents remembering your home with fondness or wishing to return to it.

Soixante Quinze
I’ve named this week’s bouquet after my favourite cocktail - soixante quinze, or French 75.
No particular reason other than the bouquet is so gorgeous and makes me feel good! Like the perfect gin cocktail 😉
This is the premium style, with grandiflora roses, proteas, delphinium, sea holly, wax flower and mint.
Available as a single bouquet or subscription. Order online: https://shop.juniperblooms.com.au
Happiness is to hold flowers in both hands.
See what a Flower Session is about!
This session took place today at the Perinatal Wellbeing Centre in Canberra for a group of 11 mums.
After learning how to condition the flowers, and a demonstration on how to spiral the stems, they all made beautiful bouquets!
Conditioning cut flowers
Essential steps before designing the flowers.
🍑🥬
This week’s bouquet is so delicious, filled with peach toned gerberas, kale flowers, green heath, wax flower, chrysanthemum and daphne.
I love the whole process from designing the bouquet to delivery and even the cleanup!
Naming the bouquets
Each week, after choosing the best flowers in season, stripping & conditioning, then transforming them into beautiful bouquets, I sit down with a cuppa and decide on a name.
It’s such a fun part of the job. Sometimes I go with the colours or the vibe. This week, it’s the song that was playing while I was prepping the flowers: Penny Lane.
Flowers this week are banksia, paper daisies and leucadendron.
Wonder what inspiration next week’s flowers will bring!
KISS
Hey that stands for Keep It Super Simple 😘
And that’s how we approach wrapping our bouquets.
We make sure it protects the flowers in transit 🚚 using biodegradable materials ♻️, and keep the flowers the star of the show 🌟
Simple! Beautiful to gift or for yourself 🎁
