About Donald

Originating from London, he transferred fifteen years retail experience , a theatrical background and a passion for art & design to floristry. These skills have enabled him to find a niche in life, post-Dartington College of Arts (1999), where he gained a BA(Hons) Theatre degree. Don as he’s known has developed his passion for flowers into a specialist art form. He owes his love of floristry to Jane Morrell for the opportunity she gave him back in 2001 at green fuse.

About Philip

Originating from the North East, England, Philip has many skills that he’s gained over the years like plumbing, photography, camera/lighting operator and studied at various colleges gaining numerous qualifications including a BA (Hons.) Visual Performance degree at Dartington College of Arts, (2003). Combining these eclectic talents, with a very good eye for detail and perfection, often makes him a stickler for aesthetics.

Don later moved on to what he describes as toughening up his skills. This he developed at Harrods(2003), under the concession held by Moyses Stevens. Don described working at Harrods to treading the boards of a theatre, equally gruelling and constantly performing for his audience. After his London style had developed, Don returned to Devon(2004) and brought "City Style" to "Country Chic". The fused style made a huge impact to a small rural, but hip town in Devon, known as Totnes.

He ensures that most of our floral designs are captured on camera. This helps build Blue Geranium’s portfolio for both the website and future projects (tbc). In addition to his abilities, floristry is now a niche that he’s developing and progressing to help build a great partnership with Don.
