Garden Museum goes Wintery for their next Flowers Week

Five floral designers will create immersive installations celebrating seasonal British-grown flowers and foliage when the Garden Museum’s alternative festive celebration returns with their Winter Flowers Week happening from 10-15 November.

The museum has invited some of the country’s top talent to showcase the beauty of winter blooms, using only seasonal British-grown flowers and foliage and environmentally friendly materials and methods.

Building on the success of the Garden Museum’s annual summer exhibition British Flowers Week, the 2026 designers will be Billy Loves Flowers, Botanical Tales, Flùr, Joanne Truby and Yinari who will create installations designed specifically for the historic space and which will interact with the Garden Museum’s Grade II* listed building, parts of which date back to 14th century.

The large-scale showstopping floral exhibits will be on display for five days, and the museum will be open late on Thursday 12 November for an evening of live music, drinks, floral activities and a panel talk with the exhibiting florists.  For tickets and more info click this link.

Exhibiting Florists

Billy Loves Flowers

Billy Hillhouse is a London-based florist with a background in art history. Inspired by Cecil Beaton’s idea of off-hand perfection, and often working with foraged flowers, her approach is one of minimal intervention, one where flowers and foliage can speak for themselves, allied with playful or unexpected touches.

Career highlights include exhibiting at Chelsea Flower Show, Tate Modern’s 25th anniversary gala, and several Burberry Fashion Shows, including Makers House. Her client list includes Sotheby’s, Cole & Son, Paul Smith and Netflix.

Botanical Tales

Bex Partridge is a floral artist whose work explores the intersection of nature, storytelling and place. Rooted in seasonality and a deep respect for the natural world, she creates ethereal, organic installations that respond to the rhythms of the garden and the changing landscape.

Drawn to texture, movement and subtle tones, Bex often looks beyond traditional flowers to the unsung heroes of the botanical world including grasses, seed heads, weeds and the overlooked remnants of the seasons. Through these materials, she finds beauty in the imperfect and the unexpected.

Flùr

Flùr is a London-based creative studio exploring flowers and natural materials through the lens of visual storytelling. Founded by Holly Hmiddouche, whose background spans graphic design, prop and set styling, and event design, Flùr creates immersive botanical environments that play with colour, composition, texture and scale.

Working across fashion, art, events and spatial design, the studio uses flowers alongside natural and unexpected materials to transform spaces and create memorable, playful moments.

Flùr has collaborated with brands including Hermès, Dior, Prada, Loewe and Gucci, bringing a distinctive and considered approach to each project.

Joanne Truby

Joanne Truby has worked with flowers for the past 15 years, running her own floral business and developing a deep connection with nature and the seasons. Sustainability is at the heart of everything she does, from working thoughtfully with natural materials to finding more environmentally conscious ways of creating. Joanne is fascinated by the quiet power of flowers and their ability to offer a sense of presence and wonder.

More recently, her work has evolved to explore flowers through the lens of wellbeing, creating experiences that invite moments of calm, connection and reflection. For Joanne, flowers are not simply beautiful—they can nourish, restore and offer a meaningful way to connect with the natural world and, in turn, ourselves.

Yinari

Yinari is a contemporary floral design studio that treats plant life as a living, evolving sculpture. Founded by Nari Yi, her path felt inevitable from birth; in Korean, “Nari” translates to Forsythia and “Yi” to Plum tree.

Growing up in South Korea, foraging was a core part of her family culture—a practice she continues today to ground her work in nature. By deliberately seeking out unusual, asymmetric, and beautifully odd elements, Yinari reconfigures the untamed spirit of the seasons into poetic, sculptural design.
