KATIE MARX I FLORISTRY
Over many years we've collaborated with Katie, a talented floral artist who truly captures the essence of Australian botanicals in very interesting and original ways. She created our giant “tumbleweed” display in our store in Paddington and we’re working on another fab concept for our new store we’ll soon be opening in Hobart.
We caught up with Katie to discuss her favourite scent memories.
FAVOURITE BUSHWALK IN AUSTRALIA
"This would be in New Zealand near my parents batch (or shack in Oz) - it’s a magical spot between Whakatane and Ohope beach. The walk itself is only 2 km but its steep with incredible views overlooking ancient pohutukawa trees and secluded bays on either side. I have done this walk no less than 20 times and try to do it every time I’m home".
FAVOURITE SCENT MEMORY
“This is very hard as it’s like asking a florist their fav flower! There is a different couple for each season. I’m fond of quite green smells and this time of year when clipping and staking my tomato plants I’m always reminded how much I love the fragrance of the leaf. Another flower I can never walk past without smelling is citrus blossom - oh so heady! And then there’s the delicate lily of the valley, my Nana had them planted near the bedroom window and I imagined fairies living there”.
