Our Story
We were neighborhood friends back in the 70’s as teenagers growing up in Mt. Airy, a suburb of Philadelphia. We found each other again in our 50’s, living just a few miles from each other in South Jersey.
Meant to be? We think so.
The balance of our unique strengths, coupled with a love for flowers, color, art & design is what makes us a perfect partnership at Fig & Fern Floral Design.
Kelley / creative & floral design - Growing up, my dad had a plant store and my mom worked in floral design. The flower-bug hit me at a young age as I started working beside my mom. Twenty years later and, here I am! I get my inspiration, as well as my artistic design techniques, from my mom. She is still creating beautiful flower arrangements and she’s in her 80’s! Her artistry is second-to-none.
I have never stop learning about flowers, whether it be a course at a community college, seminars and workshops online, but most of my experience has been by “doing”. Most of my designs are organic and self-taught.
Amy / business & marketing - Art & creativity has always been a part of my life. From a young age and student of The Philadelphia High School for the Creative & Performing Arts, I have always basked in the arts.
Much of my experience comes from my 25 years as an elementary educator, and co-starting & managing a small business in the early 2000’s. But more importantly, the beauty of flowers has always been such a passion of mine, whether visiting gardens, creating my own, or having fresh flowers always beside me in life. Flowers just make me happy. Simple as that!
Our flowers
All of our designs are unique, with the freshest available seasonal-cut flowers. The colors and varieties will vary daily, so that they are always freshly arranged, just for you.
If you are looking for a more specific floral arrangement, to include flowers such as roses, peonies, or lilies, we will make every attempt to include them. If unavailable, we will let you know the best alternate option to ensure the best quality before making your design.
