MY STORY
Hi, I’m Michelle!
I’m a flower-farmer-florist based in Victoria, BC. Boxwood Flower Farm started as an idea in 2015, shortly after we had our first son. Our little family was living in North Vancouver at the time, and looking for a way for to stay home with our son, while still working a meaningful job. A lover of all things flowers and creativity, I set to work in educating myself and planning out our farm.
After a job change for my husband and a long standing desire to raise our kids on the island, we eventually found our little plot of land close to the city of Victoria, BC. We instantly set to work on creating the farm. The more I grew and created with flowers, the more the passion grew. Boxwood Flower Farm now sends out thousands of flowers a season from our tiny plot, and has done multiple weddings and events in and around Victoria.
Each year the farm gets a little bigger and so do the children. I love creating with the flowers from our farm and spreading joy one flower at a time.

MY STORY
Hello, I’m Selina!
Nurtured creatively by flowers, houseplants and greenspaces, I am a visual-thinker and a daydreamer. Following a passion for design and culture led to a degree in art history and fine arts, a close study of colour theory, and progressed, finally, into creating floral masterpieces of my own.
Designing floral arrangements is a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of my life as a city-dweller. As a creatively-fulfilling business and craft, the art of floristry actively brings me closer to nature and allows me to indulge in a creative, meditative practice that others can also enjoy!
