About Us
Susan Betz has always loved botanicals and spent much of her youth admiring her mother’s garden and drawing flowers, especially her grandmother’s beloved lilacs. The Secret Garden was her favorite story.
Today, Susan finds inspiration from her own backyard gardens, in teaching floral design, and in talking with clients about their favorite botanicals. Whether they prefer perfect-in-place or wildly exuberant arrangements, Susan works from swatches, photos, and stories to produce floral designs that reflect her clients’ personal style.
“It’s not about being the most accomplished floral designer — it’s about reading each flower, finding its own expression of beauty and portraying that.” – Susan Betz
Floral arrangements
for all occasions
Whether your style is sophisticated or sweet, rustic or romantic, Susan will create a botanical arrangement that reflects who you are and all you love.

Wedding Testimonials
“We loved working with Susan on the flowers for our seaside wedding. She understood our concept and suggested flowers and decor that went perfectly with what I had in mind. From the arrangements on the tables, to the bridal bouquets, to the flowers in my hair, Suzie tied our theme together beautifully. She was a dream to work with, and I would highly recommend her!” – Kaitlin LaCasse

Portfolio
FALL / WINTER
We design using natural elements to add texture and color. I love to see our clients' faces when they recognize fruits and vegetables in their arrangements.
