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 young 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.
Following a years experience in the trade, Robbie's passions finally led to the crystallization of his dream, and in 2001 Robbie Honey Ltd was born.
MEDIA
Perfectly at ease in front of a 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'.
Robbie has filmed 2 series of 'Nice House Shame About The Garden' for FIVE where Robbie and his team miraculously overhaul rubbish dump gardens - watch as the gardens of suburban England rise as phoenixes from the ashes, transformed from garbage to grandeur!
Projects in 2007 included:
A Valentine's Day podcast with Jamie Oliver. Jamie makes delicious food suggestions, whilst Robbie inspires Jamie with some romantic ideas with flowers
Projects in 2006 included:
ITV2 Michelle & Andy's Big Day
Working with Nick Ede and his team at Eden Lifestyle, Robbie designed and styled the flowers for Pop Princess Michelle Heaton and her Prince Charming, Andy Scott-Lee - an army of two wedding planners, a wedding stylist, eight bridesmaids, two best men, a pool of celebrity friends and an OK! deal are all on hand to ensure the most important day of their lives runs smoothly
Wedding Belles FIVE's makeover show with Justin and Colin on FIVE
This Morning's "The Barefoot Gardener" sees Robbie trudging around the English countyside looking at flowers growing in their native habitat
Fox-Searchlight's film "Confetti" - a mockumentray following 3 couples as they battle it out to win the coveted title of Most Original Wedding of the Year.
Despite all the media attention, Robbie divides is time between his television commitments and Robbie Honey Ltd, heading up an innovative team much in demand for his wild and wonderful designs.
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.
