That look 😍😍
Congratulations to Laura and Nathan! This beautiful wedding was a delight to create for. Laura and Nathan knew exactly what they wanted: an intimate backyard wedding with their closest family and friends.
Lauras colour picks and decor choices were fun, elegant, and unique. Natural and a bit wild with blue thistle, eucalyptus, and delicate white lisianthus and cosmos, with accents of pink gomphrena and statice and purple mint flower: inspired by the colours of her stained glass pieces! She also requested a very special table centre, built around an antler rack she provided.
May your marriage be like your garden: tended with care and abundant with love ❤

A belated full congratulations post to and .bernard !

This wedding was a challenge and a thrill. When Mel messaged me asking about putting flowers on bikes I might've screamed at my phone in joy and excitement. This is my JAM!

Bringing this vision to life involved foraging for berries and moss, negotiating with difficult olive branches, and trying out some new techniques to keep these flowers looking fresh for the whole ride. I loved every minute of it!

If you look closely, some of the teeth of these cogs bear the wear marks of the miles they've travelled. Through dust and dirt, gravel and asphalt, they've seen a lot, and they'll see much more. 👁

How to bring fall vibes, without orange feat. custom grown glass corn.

These cobs represent the third or fourth generation away from the original seed I gave my dad. A cob of glass corn is a beautifully wrapped package of wonder and delight of colour, like precious jewels. These have crossed with all sorts in the garden, and have lost some of the extreme colours they had in the past, but I am still so proud to include them in my bouquets. Thanks Dad!!

Do you know about the story of glass gem corn? Cal Barnes, an Oklahoma farmer of Cherokee heritage, saved ancestral corn varieties and reintroduced many that had been lost to the original Native American farmers. The glass corn emerged from crossings between these ancient lines and now preserves this and many other varieties for future generations!

These gorgeous babes were sent on their way this morning for a beautiful backyard wedding.

This combination turned out so deliciously eclectic, fierce blue thistle and punchy dahlias with delicate cosmos and flowering mint with toooonnns of eucalyptus. Did you know some of our local growers grow eucalyptus?! I learned just this season!!

This post is a bit overdue. My delivery bike has been STOLEN. So far it actually hasnt affected any deliveries or events (like a good bike mechanic I have several project bikes) so this post is simply to ask for help. If you see this grey bike with square baskets in front and back, please call police!
And don't worry. I've been plenty busy here at Botany by Bike in spite of the lack of bike. Fancy florals are coming up next!

First Fruits

I wrote this just before lughnasadh last week and then market prep got me so busy I forgot to post it!!

Waking up on the eve of lughnasadh to a red sun is a bit surreal. But then, being able to wake up to delivering flowers by bike feels a bit surreal. Its the time of first fruits of harvest, expressing gratitude for what our plans and efforts have brought, and I want to thank each and every one of you. Every order, every like and share and encouraging word and emoji, every cyclist friend shouting encouragement on my delivery runs, all of those collective efforts have yielded the fruit of MOMENTUM.

So have a beer, bake some bread, go berry picking. Enjoy what the land has to offer and take not what you are owed but what is freely given.

This is also a great time for completing projects and boy howdy. Do I ever have some fun stuff planned ;D

Pictured here: a burlap wrapped bouquet of deep blue monkshood, pink astilbe and sedum, flat top solidago, spreading dogsbane, and striped pink crabapples against a light coloured brick wall

This weeks offering is a love note to my highschool goth self. She would've hated the pink though. Hated it!

These are big handfuls of flowers too. This bouquet is so abundant, with comfreys spent bells and pennycress coins holding up scabiosa, zinnia and echinacea blooms, and dramatic burgundy hibiscus and black pearl pepper foliage filling it out for full effect.

Canadian grown purple peppers 😍 This week's bouquet is too cool for school

These capsicum bbs from were too beautiful to pass up (tx !!). When I called my favourite local flower farmers in a rush of manic creativity they were all too happy to indulge me - go check out and for other locally grown flowers!

Floral tour-everything but the secret ingredient!!

Fellow makers and creative minds, do you ever see something that strikes inspiration like lighting in your heart? Like that moment where the muse doesn't just speak, she screams. I selected each crazily different texture and colour you see here just to match one very special ingredient. Nightowls get this visual treat now-but you'll all have to wait for the full composition tomorrow!

Imperfection! Bumps in the road! Whats with that bar tape! This weekend I turned 31 and took a beat to look at plants and be around cool people and do bikey things in the most fun ways. This is fun too! Bringing you botanical joys is my pleasure!

🐦🔊🐦 The mini lilacs in this bouquet are still so fragrant. I can even smell them on the ride! Just a few bouquets left, link in bio!

This is what a break looks like: MORE👏ICE👏CYCLING There will not be deliveries this weekend but I won't leave you in the cold! Preview of next week coming up next 🧡💛💙

CONGRATS @elinorw_yvr !! You won the bouquet! Happy valentines day and THANK YOU to everyone who entered!!

Guys. This is it. The big week, the big start! But first let me take you on a journey. Flower fans will know that dried and preserved flowers have become YUGE this past year, which is great for me! Fresh flowers would freeze and get trashed on the bike in winter. The problem is, a lot of dried and dyed material is produced with materials counter to the entire point of this enterprise: sustainability. Bleaching plant material is often a multistep process with multiple kinds of bleach and ph buffers to preserve the integrity of the plant material while taking away the colour. Some of these are too brittle after and have added glycerin, and thats all before the dyes, and not even counting that so much of the base plant material is imported. So I've been working on home bleaching and dying processes,and here are some of my first results! These are sunbleached and natural local hydrangeas dipdyed with added vegetable glycerin to keep them holding up If I don't have integrity and keep to my values, this whole thing falls apart.
