Caroline Boyce
Founder
I started Floralia fifteen years ago. My relationship with flowers began in my grandmother’s garden in Germany. She encouraged me to pick flowers and bring them inside to decorate the kitchen table. What began as a small ritual eventually became a lifelong fascination.
I’m still in awe of how flowers, a simple pleasure, can change the atmosphere of a room and lift the spirit. Their beauty is fleeting, which makes them all the more meaningful. They teach you to pay attention and enjoy the process. Floralia grew from bringing together my background in visual arts, my years working on organic farms, and my love of nature.
Today my work focuses on creating arrangements that feel intuitive, a little wild, and naturally elegant. Over the years I’ve come to enjoy developing relationships with clients, getting to know their preferences, and creating flowers that feel personal to them.
The Studio
Floralia is based in a small floral studio in the Mile End neighbourhood of Montreal.
The studio is where bouquets are prepared, workshops are held, and clients occasionally visit by appointment. It’s a quiet space for creativity, conversation, and learning.
The Farm
Floralia actually began with farming flowers — the design came later. We still maintain a small flower farm in Stanbridge East.
The garden allows us to follow the rhythm of the seasons. During the growing months we use as many of our own flowers as possible in our bouquets. When flowers are not available from our farm, we work with other growers and prioritize local farms whenever possible.
Working close to the land keeps us connected to our inspiration: nature.
