Owner and lead designer, Dorothy Kelley-Farias is originally from an artistic and culturally rich town in central Mexico that helped shaped her love for art and colors. She has been passionate about flowers and plants since early childhood, always inspired by the everyday beauty that surrounds. Her unique work combines traditional and contemporary techniques with current design trends to create artistic and meaningful arrangements for her clients.
A long time Berkeley resident, Dorothy earned her B.A. in Environmental Studies from UCSC before undertaking her studies in floristry, horticulture, landscape design, and ceramics from San Francisco City College and the Pim Design Academy in the Netherlands.
“ Dorothy is so talented when it comes to flower arrangements. I have been buying them from her for about a year and every time time I do they are so inventive and thoughtful. She is really an artist in my eye and even wraps the flowers beautifully to carry away. It’s worth mentioning that she is just a true pleasure to work with. Couldn’t pass up the opportunity to give credit where credit is certainly due. Thanks Dorothy! Your chic and beautiful arrangements always brighten my days and my home! ”
