Episode 1: "The Flowery Folk Begins: Learn, Laugh & Grow in Floristry"

"Welcome to The Flowery Folk Podcast! I’m Debra Pemble—floral designer, floristry educator and all round flower nerd… I’m your host on this journey into the wonderful world of flowers.

Whether you’re a budding florist, a seasoned pro, or just someone who loves beautiful blooms, this podcast is here to help you learn, laugh, share, and support each other in the Australian floristry industry.

After 20 years working across all aspects of the floral industry—from weddings, events, retail and teaching, especially in rural and remote locations—I know firsthand the joys and challenges of working in this wonderful industry. That’s why I created The Flowery Folk Podcast: a fun and informative space where we talk all things floristry, from design techniques to business strategies, and we chat with real florists, growers and members of this amazing community to share their unique stories .

So, what can you expect?

Sometimes we will dive into practical tips and tricks to help you refine your floral skills and grow your business with confidence. Other times we’ll chat with talented florists or flower industry folk —sharing their journey, their challenges, and successes—so you can feel inspired and supported no matter where you are in your floral career.
