Emily Avenson

Hello, and welcome to my little virtual home! My name is Emily Avenson. I am a farmer-florist, outdoor enthusiast, and plant-dyed silk ribbon maker. You most likely know me as the creative catalyst behind Fleuropean. Born and raised in urban California, I turned to nature as a way of growing new roots after finding myself settled in rural Belgium. Working the ground and getting my hands dirty, I found a friend in Mother Nature. What started out as casual courtship soon grew into a full-blown love affair, and I found myself sowing and growing a carefully curated color palette of blooms. I am constantly experimenting with new textures and color combinations. Each new season brings fresh adventures, an invitation to dig deeper into the world of gardening, floral art, and photography. It is this combination of creative outlets that keeps me growing both personally and professionally, and I can’t wait to share my enthusiasm for all things floral with you!
