Rachel Klausen
Owner and Designer
Through a range of experience in floral design, landscaping, and flower farming, I’ve acquired a distinct and valuable skill set that allows me offer clients a truly unique approach to gardening. Every aspect of my work is centered around my passion for beauty, sustainability and the joy of gardening.
Along side Garden Folk, I run a small floral design studio that grows and designs with local and seasonal specialty cut flowers called Local Flora. I attended The Sustainable Flowers Workshop in 2019 and have continued my floral education by attending similar events each year since. I am a member of the Association of Specialty Cut Flowers Growers and attended their first West and Northwest Regional Conference this past fall. My commitment to sustainability afforded me a spot as a finalist for the North Vancouver Chamber of Commerce Environmental Initiative Award in 2024 which was a professional highlight.
Flowers have been a constant source of joy and inspiration throughout my life, teaching me many lessons that extend far beyond the walls of the garden or flower shop. Through Garden Folk, I hope to share this joy with you.
