About Me
Welcome! This is my online boutique, specializing in artisanal wreaths and centerpieces for holidays and every season.
Today, my home is filled with both real and silk florals. My passion for bringing flowers indoors started early in my life due to growing up in northern Vermont with six months of winter; I often dreamed of moving to warmer climates and designed botanical gardens inside glass atriums.
The boutique's unique name, Orangerie Gardens, came from this early passion combined with my love for the scent of orange blossoms. The concept of glass greenhouses, .i.e The Crystal Palace is most notable...yet glass orangeries started in 17th century England. European explorers traveled all over the world bringing back tropical botanical flowers, orange and lemon citrus plants from exotic locales.
These varieties were named and cataloged; rare plants were grown in orangeries on the estates of the aristocracy. I bring my personal knowledge and education from studying art and architectural history, travel, and working in the industries of entertainment and interior design, to create new and exciting floral designs that will inspire you and your family for years to come. It is my hope that when you visit Orangerie Gardens, you will find something that speaks to your own personal sense of style and taste.
If you are looking for something specific, contact me to discuss a custom piece designed for your home decor or planned event. Orangerie Gardens is the place to find a one-of-a-kind, timeless holiday treasure, lovingly handcrafted wreath or artisanal centerpiece at a reasonable price
