About the author
Carole Bowden’s flower van is a Remuera fixture on
Shore Road, rain or shine, winter and summer, and Carole’s mission is to
inspire everyone to enjoy flowers in their homes every day. Her floral
philosophy is based on using locally-grown, market-fresh flowers rather than
imported blooms — this is both better for the environment and easier on the
budget. www.facebook.com/carolebowdenevents
The lovely Carole Bowden opened her Flower Truck not long after Arcadia Bookshop opened. We have filled our shop with her beautiful flowers ever since then.They always draw comments from our customers and are a talking point with lots of touching and sniffing going on. Well Done Carole-so glad I instigated you to put the book together( and didn't tell you how much hard work was involved) It looks wonderful,
ReplyDeleteWe look forward to filling our window with flowers next week to celebrate publication
We have been buying beautiful flowers from the day Carole parked her van in Bloodworth Park. We have queued with streams of people in all weathers loving the freshest flowers. Our customers comment,sniff and touch our flowers and they are a big talking point.Glad I persuaded Carole she had a book in her- not sorry I didn't tell her how much hard work was involved.It has all been worthwhile and we look forward to filling our window with flowers next week to celebrate th launch of the Flower Truck.
