Who is Rhoda?

Rhoda Floral Design, a name steeped in botanical heritage and nostalgia, pays homage to our beloved grandmother, a remarkable woman who left an indelible mark on our hearts and the world of flowers. Hailing from England, our grandmother was a passionate gardener and a true lover of all things floral. It is her spirit and dedication that we carry forward in our work today.
Drawing inspiration from our grandma's exquisite English garden, we blend it with the captivating beauty of local Australian flora, creating designs that evoke a unique sense of harmony between two distant lands.

At Rhoda Floral Design, sustainability and eco-friendliness lie at the core of our ethos. We understand the importance of responsible practices to protect our environment and ensure a prosperous future for generations to come. We carefully source our blooms from local farmers where ever possible, prioritise seasonality, and make conscious choices to minimise our carbon footprint.

To further enhance our sustainability efforts, we have adopted the practice of composting and recycling. Leftover plant material is transformed into nutrient-rich compost, ensuring a closed-loop system that nurtures the earth and supports the growth of new life.

Whether it is an enchanting wedding bouquet, a heartfelt sympathy arrangement, or a jubilant celebration focal piece, Rhoda Floral Design strives to evoke emotions and create lasting memories with each bloom carefully chosen and artfully arranged.

Experience the enduring legacy of Rhoda Floral Design, where our love for flowers, our respect for the earth, and our grandmother's timeless inspiration unite in perfect harmony.
