RIP Kenneth Turner, a friend and customer of for several decades and one of the first and most brilliant celebrity florists. Ken was at the vanguard of the creative florist industry we have today; a master of all manner of floral creations, from simple posies to grand classical designs, botanical sculptures and topiaries, and became synonymous with the ultimate in floral decoration. Brilliant and endlessly innovative, he was the first to look outside the world of flowers for inspiration, using a host of natural ingredients from pebbles to vegetables, shells, lichens, herbs and driftwood in his creations for any occasion, tailoring his designs to suit each individual setting, with his unique imaginative flair.
From running his fantastic shops to becoming a dried flower pioneer and eventually opening his fabulous eponymous flower school, everything Ken touched came up smelling of roses - or at least one of the many hundreds of scents and aromas his varied pieces of art eschewed!
Bryan Porter said: “Ken was responsible for inspiring an entire generation of florists, many of today’s top florists worked with him during the crazy days of the 80s and 90s. An era ends.”
On behalf of everyone who knew you at New Covent Garden Flower Market, thanks for the friendship and the memories Ken.
