Inspiration | Clare Day Flowers

TEXT by Celine MacKay | PHOTOGRAPHS by We haven't really been talking Valentine's Day here on Pure Green, but when I came across Clare Day yesterday I couldn't help but share her work with you and it is rather fitting that it's February 14. Clare lives in Victoria, BC where her love of gardening has literally blossomed into a fabulous floral design studio. Even better is that the studio is located on her organic produce farm, Red Damsel Farm where many of the flowers she works with are grown right in her own backyard.

We haven't really been talking Valentine's Day here on Pure Green, but when I came across Clare Day yesterday I couldn't help but share her work with you and it is rather fitting that it's February 14. Clare lives in Victoria, BC where her love of gardening has literally blossomed into a fabulous floral design studio. Even better is that the studio is located on her organic produce farm, Red Damsel Farm where many of the flowers she works with are grown right in her own backyard. 

"Ever since I was a little girl, I have found myself most at peace outside. My happiest days were spent climbing trees, picking wild berries and planting seeds. Early on, I learned to appreciate natural beauty. Now I seek to curate it.

Clare Day Flowers was born out of my love affair with nature. I aspire to make couture floral art in a sustainable way, articulating the beauty of a moment with loose arrangements that emulate untamed gardens. I grow many of the flowers I use right here in my backyard."
