Florist Rookie

Bold of Thought

Sweltering heat pushes through my haze
Potent smells linger in wisps
A tap of wood echoes

Humidity trickles down my neck
Changing course, gazing up
A flap of wings

Thudding my feet rebound
As uncertainty forces its way in
A buzz skims past

Amid my bleary preoccupation
The natural world continues to whirl
A crack of bark

Like them, my heart rattles
Drips of purpose and potency
Pausing my body I still

Distractions begin to fade
Almost as if a fantasy
My thoughts unclouded

Ebbing and hatching
Like the winter into spring
Happening in unison

Breath whistles between my lips
Clenching at the interim clarity
And pushing into the maze I run

Born and bred in rural Lancashire, Jenna has spent all her free time learning everything floral in both Manchester, England & Melbourne, Australia. Although new to the game, Jenna is down to earth, experimental and curious, hoping to continue to grow her talents.

Joining the flower world with an open mind to all techniques and training so far, continuous learning is the long term goal. Hence, why 'Florist Rookie' specialising in dried florals was born, as there’s always something new to investigate, play with & explore… And everyone roots for an underdog right?

With a huge passion for sustainability and reducing waste, Florist Rookie's aim is work with as many local suppliers as possible and to limit carbon footprint by working with eco conscious blooms and materials. With an overall aim to ensure that all her blooms are caring for the world that first gave them life.

Jenna can usually be found woodland walking, borrowing any spare dogs and drinking copious amounts of peppermint tea, all of which are typically over shared on her instagram @floristrookie.
