Locally grown flowers and seasonal designs

Flower Farmer & Designer

Established in 2020, Wild Bee Florals is Thanu’s creative pursuit in connecting science, art and culture together as an offering to her community. With regenerative farming guiding our growing principles, we aim to be an ethical brand that doesn’t compromise on style and focuses solely on flowers grown in BC.

We offer our flowers through seasonal bouquets, arrangements, subscriptions, events, and experiences.

We believe in:

Seasonaity

We look forward to each season, as they bring new colours and varieties on a floral journey through the year. From specialty tulips and ranunculus at the start of the growing year to delightful asters, dahlias, and heirloom chrysanthemums during the latter, we aim to add natural sparkle to every arrangement

Community

We strive to create moments of connection with nature and neighbours. We will be offering place-based learning experiences at our flower farm and will be collaborating with other creatives to bring you and your friends joyful experiences.

Biodiversity

The goal of this floral project is to ensure that clients have access to sustainable floral options while contributing to thoughtful consumerism. We focus on enriching the environment around us by growing flowers without pesticides/herbicides, practicing healthy soil management techniques, ensuring our packaging is compostable/reusable, and establishing pollinator habitat.

Transparency

We are open about our entire process from sowing seeds to planting seedlings, harvesting, designing, and delivery. Our staff gets paid a living wage and we work hard at growing mindfully.

Local, Regenerative agriculture

We design with flowers primarily grown at our farm and supplement only from other BC growers, especially farmers in the Comox Valley - Vancouver Island. This helps reduce the distance that flowers travel on a regular basis, therefore bringing you fresh and vibrant florals that feel good.

Inclusivity

We strive to create spaces where folks feel welcomed and loved. Period.

Our main goal with floriculture is to inspire our local community with the many possibilities of seasonal flowers grown right here on Vancouver Island.

Meet Thanu

Founder, Farmer & Floral Creative

Thanu sees the world through many different lenses, one being the intersection of evolutionary biology and informal education. Her passion for growing flowers bloomed naturally alongside her curiosity for learning about ecosystems around us, especially insect biodiversity. Since 2018, Thanu has grown flowers for market and floral subscriptions in Vancouver and North Vancouver. At the end of 2020, Thanu moved to the Comox Valley to pursue flower farming full time and embrace the rural lifestyle. Thanu loves collaborating with other creatives, so if you have a project in mind, be sure to send her a message!

Meet Aaron

Farmer & General Labour ;)

Aaron is a full-time Land Survey Tech, though he plays an integral role in the flower farm operation through infrastructure projects. He appreciates working outdoors and was the lead in constructing our greenhouse. We are so lucky to have his help, especially during the shoulder seasons.
