A lifetime of loving flowers

Posies and Poems is a small business owned and run by me, Deborah Luce. I am a trained horticulturalist, herbalist and florist. I have been gardening since I was very young, first in my Grandad's garden in Kent, England.

Throughout my life I have created gardens where ever I lived. Most recently, I was a flower farmer in Bourget, Ontario.

I named the business Posies and Poems as I love the Language of Flowers and I wanted to create beautiful arrangements and bouquets (small bouquets are called posies) that featured the symbolism of each flower in a special message (or poem) to the recipient.

I ran a fresh flower--florist business for 4 years. It was very busy and I wanted to slow down a bit, so I closed the fresh flower side of my business.

I now work from my floral studio at home and design, create pressed and dried framed floral art, wreaths, and dried flower arrangements. Each piece comes with a card that lists each flower and its symbolism, based on the Language of Flowers.

I still maintain large flower gardens and many of the flowers I use come from my gardens. They are harvested and dried with care.

Each one of my designs is unique.

Treat yourself or a friend to a timeless beautiful floral art piece!

Debbie,

Owner, Designer
