Our story

Hello, I’m Joanna, the heart and hands behind Little Leaf Floral. Based in Reading, Berkshire, I find inspiration in the natural beauty surrounding me. My journey into the world of flowers began with my own garden and allotment, where I grow each bloom with care and sustainability in mind. I also advise people on garden design and planting scheme matters.

All the flowers you see here are lovingly cultivated from seed in peat-free compost by me. Over the years, I’ve built up a diverse collection of annuals and perennials, all of which I carefully preserve through natural drying techniques. The end result is a range of beautiful everlasting wreaths, bouquets, wedding and home accessories - timeless pieces that capture nature’s delicate beauty.

Every product I create is bespoke, designed to bring joy and meaning to life’s special moments. Whether it’s a birthday, wedding, or any other occasion, I’m committed to fulfilling each customer's needs, collaborating to craft something unique. I take pride in selecting the perfect combination of blooms—focusing on colour, texture, and shape—to create pieces that feel truly one-of-a-kind.

During spring and summer I grow a wide range of fresh flowers: starting with daffodils, tulips, sweet peas, sweet williams, which I sell and use for bespoke fresh flower arrangements at venues for events.

I also preserve wedding, funeral and other occasion flowers, creating nostalgic shadow boxes to hold cherished memories forever.

Before I became immersed in the world of florals, I spent many years as a teacher. I truly believe this experience has shaped how I approach my seasonal workshops, where I share my love of flowers with others. I run workshops events in Berkshire and Oxfordshire.

Little Leaf Floral is my passion, and I’m honoured to share it with you. Whether you’re here to find the perfect floral gift or to learn the art of flower preservation yourself, I hope you’ll feel the love and attention to detail woven into every creation.

Thank you for visiting and supporting my little corner of the floral world. Please get in touch for any of the above services.
