Meet the Florist

Hello, I’m Shirelle.

Flora in the Wild is a creative floral studio by the sea, nestled in Maketū, Bay of Plenty.

Inspired by the changing seasons, I create flowers that feel natural, nostalgic and a little wild. Every bouquet is made by hand using blooms from my own garden and a small circle of local growers, celebrating what nature has to offer right now.

I believe flowers belong in everyday life—not just for the milestones, but for ordinary Tuesdays, slow mornings, shared meals and quiet moments at home.

When I’m not arranging flowers, you’ll usually find me in the garden, by the ocean, or chasing after my three girls.

Thank you for stopping by. I hope you find something here that brings a little beauty into your day.
