Who are the Virtue Flower Company?

Hello and welcome! I’m Lucy, the proprietor of the Virtue Flower Company, a qualified Florist, Cake Decorator and Gardener. Having worked in Higher Education for 22 Years, I decided to follow my passion for floral artistry to create beautiful flower creations for people to enjoy. I love being outside, working in my garden, tending to our bee hives or walking Pippin, our Wire Fox Terrier across the wonderful North Hampshire countryside we have on our doorstep.

I love all aspects of floristry, from contemporary to formal, loose and informal to structured floral creations; relishing in this happy floral place. I have achieved professional accreditation, The Diploma in Flower Design from the Covent Garden Academy of Flowers and have honed my skills further by attending Floristry Courses with the White Horse Flower Co, as well as further education classes.

I hold the City & Guilds 7900 in Sugarcraft and Design and have taught Sugar craft skills at Further Education Colleges and a cake supplies shop. I take commissions for traditional style celebration cakes specialising in hand made sugar craft flowers to match the event flowers. This skill has given me a complete understanding of the composition, importance and integrity of flowers for life events.

Additionally I preserve flowers from bouquets or special occasions, either by pressing or preserving in silica to create a keep sake to remind you of your special day.
