Known for her garden-inspired designs\, she has influenced trends in the profession of floristry by exposing designers and the public to unique and hearty blooms. Peers in the industry refer to her sought-after style as “Hollyish”. \nHolly and her late husband Evan purchased Hope Flower Farm in 2015. Hope Farm is now a functioning flower farm and winery. It also serves as an educational facility and bed and breakfast for floral designers. The flowers grown at Hope elevate Holly’s editorial work\, supplement the designs created for clients\, and sweeten the experience of in-person educational offerings. \nBeyond teaching from the farm\, Holly has taught floral design across the country and internationally in Russia\, Australia\, China\, England\, Scotland\, Ireland\, Belgium\, Ecuador\, and Canada. In July 2018\, Holly was invited to do a main-stage presentation at the American Institute of Floral Designers Symposium in Washington\, DC. The event was significant because the traditional organization recognized Holly\, who is not AIFD certified\, for her talent and contributions to the floral industry. \nWorking with designers\, growers\, and suppliers from all over the world keeps Holly at the forefront of the floral design industry and accentuates her education. Holly has her own product line of sustainable floristry tools and containers manufactured by Syndicate Sales. Holly is also the founder of a global community of florists called Chapel Designers\, a collective of wedding and floral event designers that she mentors and educates.
