Growing up in the African bush, Robbie Honey was instinctively drawn towards the
beauty of Africa's flora, and knew from an early age that he wanted to work with
nature - in particular flowers.
Passionate about flowers, a perfectionist and arguably one of London's hottest florists,
Robbie's background is a canvas of creativity. After studying horticulture, photography
and interior design, and experiencing the commercial side of the cut flower industry
in Holland and Kenya, Robbie moved to London and began working in the industry.
He started Robbie Honey Ltd in 2001
Perfectly at ease in front of the camera, Robbie's skills and personality have led
him to television presenting. The enjoyment of passing on his knowledge and passion
for flowers and plants in a fun and extraordinary way has amusingly earned Robbie
the label 'The Barefoot Florist'.
Whether working with a private client or a Production Company, Robbie is a style
chameleon who strives to capture the vision and ensure that the finished look is
perfect.
