This is
The Velvet Bee.
Growing up on a small farm with a mother artist who loved beauty, and a father who loved animals I found my place amongst the farmland roaming free with cows, tadpoles, horses, beauty, and a loyal dog.
In 2017 The Velvet Bee was launched for my love of formal gardens and pollinators. Designing sustainable gardens with timeless beauty, dreamy structural planting, boxwood, knot gardens, parterres, topiary, espalier trees, flowers & drawing pollinators to the garden.
A variety of flowers attract a variety of pollinators.
Flowers matter.

Creating a rich and beautiful environment, encouraging landowners and beekeepers everywhere to reinvigorate their natural surroundings, by planting a diversity of pollinator forage species, organic gardening, and creating pesticide free healthy soil, these are excellent steps toward creating a more sustainable world for honeybees and all life to live in.”
No pesticides or antibiotics used in our hives.
