Julie is well known in the village of Farndon and owns the local florist and gift shop, known as Velvet Peony. Julie has always supported the Farndon Soapbox Derby by creating the winners bouquets. 2024 sees her join our event committee. “I created my floral design studio and shop as a beautiful space to buy gifts, selected and wrapped with care. All of my arrangements, gifts and homeware are inspired by rustic elegance, the beauty of the English countryside and often a hint of vintage”.
