Who we supply, and what they buy

Four very different businesses come to us for the same material. What changes is the specification — so this page is organised by who you are, not by what we sell.

Florist working with preserved flower materials

01 — Florists & design studios

Colour you can build a collection on

A preserved-flower studio lives or dies on whether the shade you bought in March is available in November.

The problem You need a palette, not a one-off. But most suppliers only guarantee colour for the batch you are buying, so every re-order is a gamble.
What we do We keep a retained dye sample on file for every colour you approve. Re-orders are matched against that physical sample, not a screen. If a harvest shifts the base tone, we tell you before we ship.
Start with Standard 4–5 cm rose heads in 6–8 shades, plus hydrangea for volume and gypsophila for air. One master box per shade is enough to test a full range.

02 — Gift manufacturers

Piece counts that actually repeat

On a production line, a ±5% variation in petal count per box is not a rounding error — it is a line stoppage.

The problem You are assembling thousands of identical units to a fixed BOM. Inconsistent grading and packaging that does not match your insert trays both cost real time.
What we do Graded cartons with a counted piece check before dispatch, so your BOM holds across runs. We can build kits — fixed quantities, fixed sizes, fixed shades — packed to your tray or box layout, and print packaging to your artwork.
Start with Mini or Standard rose heads in a single palette, bulk hydrangea petals for fill, and a custom kit pack. Send us your BOM and we will quote to it directly.

Preserved moss wall installation

03 — Moss walls & commercial interiors

Bulk material, priced by the square metre

For architectural work the question is never "how pretty" — it is coverage, fire rating, and whether the green matches the renders.

The problem Coverage estimates are usually guesswork, and fire regulations on commercial installs are not negotiable. Under-ordering halts a site; over-ordering eats the margin.
What we do Moss sold by weight with published coverage estimates at a stated depth, so you can size an order from a drawing. Flame-retardant treatment available with the test report attached to the shipment.
Start with 500 g reindeer moss packs in a single or mixed colour. Tell us the wall area and depth and we will calculate the quantity, including the usual 15% waste allowance.

DIY preserved flower workshop

04 — Workshops & online sellers

Small packs that still look considered

Teaching a class or selling a kit means you need ten of everything, not a thousand — and the packaging is half the product.

The problem Wholesale minimums are built for factories. You cannot hold 100,000 rose heads to run a twelve-person workshop, and generic bulk packaging undersells the experience.
What we do Small retail packs and pre-built kits with mixed sizes and colours, so one SKU covers a whole table. Printed sleeves and insert cards in small runs if you want them branded.
Start with A mixed sample box — it doubles as a workshop kit and tells you more about our grading than any photo can.
