By choosing the right flowers. I love the wacky shapes of the spirea branches, the wobbly, floaty feeling given by the cosmos, or the curves of a blossoming tulip. I use sweet pea whenever I can. I find it harder to work with stems that are more fixed, like hydrangeas or dried flowers.

I suppose so. Scandinavian design is defined by simplicity and minimalism. In my compositions, I never use more than five different types of flowers for each arrangement, otherwise I feel it looks messy. Perhaps the Swedish word “lagom” which means “not too much and not too little” sums it up.

I am inspired by nature itself, as I like to create bouquets and arrangements that imitate how flowers grow in real life. When I use cosmos and salpiglossis, for example, I bear in mind that in my garden they grow taller than the other species, while dahlias stand very firmly and closer to the ground.

Here in Skåne, the climate is warmer and the growing season longer than in the rest of Sweden. Yet, in winter I have to work with imported or dried flowers. I spend a lot of time anticipating spring. As Audrey Hepburn once said, "To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow."
