The Petal Project
Small batch cut flowers from a female-led farm
Bespoke cut flowers for weddings and events
At The Petal Project, I grow seasonal, character-filled blooms that bring a natural, personal touch to weddings and events. Every stem is nurtured from seed with care, and I work closely with florists, planners, and couples to curate bespoke selections that reflect your style and the spirit of the season.
About The Petal Project
Nestled in Nottingham Road in the KZN Midlands, I’ve built a life where growing flowers isn’t just a passion but a daily ritual that brings a deep sense of purpose to my everyday. Watching something thrive from seed to bloom, never gets old.
The Petal Project is a name born from my playful university nickname, but it also speaks to something far deeper: a personal mission to bring something wild, beautiful, and deeply impactful into the world through my own fierce and feral methods. This is more than a flower farm — it’s a celebration of soulful blooms that feel as alive and expressive as the land they grow in.
My approach isn’t always traditional — it’s intuitive, a little untamed, and rooted in deep respect for the Earth. I follow instinct, stay curious, and let the garden teach me.
Now, in a smaller space, in Nottingham Road and armed with new and vital knowledge thanks to Erin Benzakein’s Floret Flower Farming Workshop, I’m cultivating personal favourites for florists, brides, and all flower lovers who love the same blooms as I do. Together with Andrius, my partner in gardening for the past 15 years, we’re nurturing a project that’s bold, female-led, and deeply rooted in authenticity.
Flowers should tell a story. And for me, there’s nothing quite like handing over a bunch and seeing someone's eyes light up, especially when you know every stem started as a seed in your hand. That’s the heart of My Petal Project.
If you’re looking for blooms with a wild edge and a whole lot of heart, I’d love to create magic with you.
