I’m Ash, the heart behind The Forage, where every arrangement is created with care and intention. What began as a single floral workshop quickly grew into a genuine passion for working with seasonal, locally grown blooms and creating florals that feel natural, meaningful, and beautifully unique.
When I’m not surrounded by flowers, I’m a teacher and a mum, two roles that inspire me every day. I’m drawn to creativity, connection, and those simple, meaningful moments, and that’s something I carry into every piece I design. Through The Forage, I hope to create florals that feel personal, grounded in nature, and bring a little bit of beauty and joy into your world.
I’d love to welcome you in-store or help create something special for you, get in touch or visit us in Rangiora.
