Personal Bio |
Chris is an award-winning civic educator, pursuing a second career in horticulture. He specializes in fragrant flowers, Cottage Garden design, Arts and Crafts design, the Language of Flowers, the language of fragrance, garden history, and heirloom plants. Chris is an instructor at Longwood Gardens, a returning presenter at the Philadelphia Flower Show, and he has presented at statewide and national conferences. |
Business Description |
The core mission of The Flower Sommelier is education, design, and advocacy in support of "wild and romantic" gardens, including promotion of scented plants, native plants, heirloom plants, organic methods, sustainable planting design, and resilient spaces that support pollinators and wildlife. Historic preservation is also a priority. While in-person education was the first part of the practice to take off, Chris is actively working on book proposals, and developing a design and consulting practice which focuses on scented plants. |
