Avery's Floral Design Work at UMass & Beyond

Using only limited Massachusetts-grown organic florals and foraged foliage, I created many market bouquets, personalized orders, vase arrangements, bud vases, plus dried arrangements and evergreens during the winter. Many arrangements were for event work, which I helped deliver and set up.

Helped create multiple large-scale floral installations. With a heavy focus on seasonality, each installation highlights the importance of slow flowers, showcasing only what is locally available at that time of year. Lots of the foliage is foraged.

Spent lots of time in the greenhouse helping plan, seed, transplant, and sell trays and potted plants to the campus community. 

Found myself in the field for weekly harvests, taking photos, processing stems, packing, and delivering flowers. As well as clearing out the plot at the end of the growing season.

Experience in digging, tagging, storing, dividing, and planting tubers. I helped with this process for both personal use and sales to the UMass community. Also created educational content to help people learn about tubers.

Field and event photography highlighting the beauty of our fields and the work we have done. For personal use, branding, and social media content.
