Contact usWe don't stock flowers flown in from the other side of the world to fill a gap. If it's not in season, we'll tell you, and we'll suggest something that is.
Every arrangement is made within 24 hours of collection or delivery. Stems are conditioned overnight and arranged fresh the morning they leave the studio.
A portion of our stock comes from Laura's own half-acre plot. The rest is sourced from growers within about 40 miles, people we know by name.
We don't use floral foam. Arrangements are built in water, on a grid of stems, the way it's been done for a long time. It's better for the flowers and better for the drain.
A well-made dried flower wreath should last at least a full season, and often much longer, if you treat it reasonably well. Here's what we tell customers when they take one home from the studio.

Laura Caldwell spent eight years working in garden design before she opened Maple Foxglove in 2017, first out of a spare room, then from a small studio on the edge of the market district. She trained under a Dutch flower grower in her late twenties and came back with a deep respect for seasonal rhythm and the idea that a stem should be at its best before it's cut, not after. She grows a portion of her own stock in a half-acre plot outside town, and buys the rest from a handful of local growers she's known for years. On quiet mornings she can usually be found at the bench by 6 a.m., conditioning stems before the shop opens. She keeps a battered notebook of every arrangement she's made since day one.
We ask for at least three months for weddings, and ideally more if you're marrying in peak season (May through September). We take a limited number of weddings each year, so the earlier you get in touch the better. A free consultation takes about an hour and you're not committing to anything by booking one.
You can, and we'll always try. But because we work seasonally, some requests aren't possible at certain times of year. If you tell us what you're drawn to. A colour, a mood, a flower you love. We'll find the closest thing that's actually growing right now. That usually produces a better result anyway.
