When a man sets his mind on opening a flower shop, there is nothing left for women to do
Every girl has a dream of opening a flower shop, at the corner of a long street blooming with roses, hidden away in the city, with an artsy and stylish decor... But when men open flower shops, that carefree wild beauty gives off threads of tenderness, truly irresistible and intoxicating!

Unlike flower shops run by women, Green Fingers' display has a carefree masculine vibe, yet is full of tender emotion, somewhat similar to this male owner with a tattoo-covered arm but gentle eyes.
Walking into this shop in New York's East Village, there is a damp, moist smell in the air, as if you have entered an underground music bar in Tokyo, full of punk, dark atmosphere. Only here it is not cocktails or electronic music that are sold, but vibrant, thriving green plants and jars and bottles of healing succulents.
Unlike traditional floral art, Kawamoto's trendy style has attracted the attention of many designers, and many streetwear brand stores have invited him to participate in window design. Fashion streetwear models also frequently shoot in his shop, especially for menswear.

In less than two years, this young gay couple Michael and Darroch Putnam, with their floral art, not only became famous throughout New York's fashion and art circles, but also successfully opened a physical flower shop, Putnam & Putnam, assisting many fashion brands with floral installations and displays, as well as celebrity dinners, weddings, and various gift bouquets and flower baskets.
They buy flowers together, work together, live together, and even when being interviewed, Darroch still acts as makeup artist. "Michael's flower arrangements are amazing, full of fashionable and wild beauty." Darroch could not help but praise.
With no floral art background, no business plan, these two have come all this way, jointly running a small shop full of creativity, supporting each other's interests. In fact, love is the creative source of this flower shop.

Melbourne's Loose Leaf, an old warehouse transformed into a floral workshop

A floral art studio called Loose Leaf in Melbourne, Australia. Designer Wona Bae and her husband Charlie Lawler converted a warehouse into their dream space, and tried to create a tree-shaded haven.
You will find that this is not like an ordinary flower shop, with no masses of clashing flowers, and no army of potted plants arranged neatly like merchandise. Along the walls, all the way up to the ceiling, are plants that are usually unremarkable in the flower market, but after Wona Bae's skillful design and display, it is as if you can hear the plants conversing in the space.
Here, you can learn how to tie mistletoe, make bridal bouquets, and even turn flowers into wearable accessories, far more interesting and practical than ordinary flower arranging classes. Because Wona and Charlie never positioned LOOSE LEAF as a flower shop, and also believed that flowers should not just be ornamental objects placed in a corner, they are precious materials that can be sculpted and are full of vitality, and LOOSE LEAF is the laboratory they share with nature.
Designing a garden for the Queen, opening the most beautiful flower shop

You would never associate the country old man before you, with messy hair, old-fashioned glasses, a half-length gray-white beard, chubby, waddling as he walks, with the long-renowned Nordic master of horticulture.
When you walk to the entrance of Tage's shop and look inside, you will feel as if your brain has suddenly been quickly rebooted, as shocked as when Alibaba first finished shouting "Open Sesame" and saw the cave treasure: masses of fresh flowers everywhere, on the ground, on the walls, on the ceiling. Lighting, oil paintings, and countless large and small ironwork and woodwork ornaments are laid out in distinct layers. From a birdcage nearly two stories high, crisp bird calls come from time to time, and the music is soothing...
The old man has a rule: entering the door requires paying 40 Danish kroner. If you want to visit the old man's estate in Sweden, besides paying 100 Swedish kronor, you also have to remember:
1. The domineering old man rules that, in order to ensure the everlasting peace of the estate's ecology, all visitors must park their cars some distance away from the estate, and then come on foot.
2. A large estate certainly cannot be seen in one day. If you truly have the heart to see it all, you will need to first find a hotel nearby and stay for several days before it is enough.
As for all this, what I want to say is, after seeing so many passionate and creative floral art showcases, the money paid is absolutely worth the ticket price.
