At the age of 13 Sabine dreamed of becoming a florist which,
growing up in the Netherlands, isn't too strange of a
dream. While enjoying all levels possible in floral
education, Sabine’s urge to pass on the knowledge she had
grew stronger and stronger. At the age of 26 she stood in
front of 16 to 21 year old lovers of floral design and
taught the business, customer service, Latin names, and
design aspects of floral design.
7 years later she moved to Ontario, Canada where she soon
learned her design style was too “European” for the trend
at the time, and ended up working in the retail aspect of
the field, at a garden center. This opened a whole new
world where she could put her earlier gained knowledge to
the test.
Creating planters and designing gardens turned out to work
on the same principles of design and their customers fell
in love with her European touch. Meanwhile Sabine truly
enjoys all the connections she makes with customers, many
of which she now calls great friends.
Sabine is best known for her enthusiasm for anything
growing and flowing, many call her a true flower
ambassador; a title she wears with pride. She enjoys to
travel for floral conventions, training, competitions and
events and is an international award winning designer in
garden and floral design.
