Stem Ginger began in October, 2005. I started flower design purely by chance when I sustained an injury which left me unable to continue with my first love; Nursing.
I've always loved flowers, and thus started a new hobby, putting together a few designs for my own home. Family and friends were impressed and suggested sometime ago that I should make this my new 'career'.
Because of my physical restrictions fresh flowers were unfortunately not really an option but faux flowers have improved beyond recognition over the last few years. So much so that people stop to smell them, myself included!
I have sourced a variety of fantastic quality faux flowers and accessories which lend themselves to both contemporary and traditional designs.
I was quite shocked to find out just how much I had accumulated and decided that I had to give it a go. Once or twice things had to be put on hold for health reasons, each postponement making me more nervous than the time before. Working from home makes life much easier and I'm lucky to have a fantastic husband who helps not only with the lifting and transportation, but also the moral support and love that has helped me to get where I am.
My main outlets are craft fairs, house parties and offices, however a lot of my business comes via word of mouth or further orders from existing clients.
Within this site I have attempted to display pictures of some of my creations, with more to follow.
Please note that the majority of the designs are exclusive and are not always able to be duplicated.
Thank you for taking the time to look which I hope you find interesting and enjoyable, please drop me an e mail and give me your feedback.

You can also meet me and see my creations at the Biddick Arts Centre in Washington on the first Saturday of every month from 10am, the Arts Centre stages the highly popular art and craft fair where you can find a range of hand-made goods from ceramics and glass-ware to jewellery and textiles.
