So, on this episode I'm joined by the lovely Alex Lucas, street artist who has been dubbed the 'female Banksy'.
We talk what flowers mean, painting up scaffolding, and how she found her life long love of street art.

Yours florally,
Sophie.

This week I'm joined by the absolutely wonderful Louis Trenam, a.k.a Louis The Planner!
Louis used to spend his time popping into the shop all those years ago with £5 to buy some flowers for his mum, that turned into him asking for a Saturday job which then turned into him going to uni which then turned into him working for Nike in Amsterdam which then turned into him missing events so much that he went out on his own! And breathe...
In this episode of the pod, we talk about the career he's had, the importance of being authentic and so much more!
Our relationship spans over 13 years so get ready for a whirlwind of a conversation!

This week we're talking everything floral trends...

We've seen countless trends come and go, minimalism, monochromatic, rustic styles, you name it - we've seen it.
It's also interesting how important royal weddings are to our industry, they show a real insight into what we may expect trend wise going forward...
