In this episode I’m joined by the undeniably talented floral stylist Graeme Corbett. Graeme’s business ‘Bloom &amp; Burn’ has flourished in recent years; leading him to move studio where he now teaches workshops and is in the process of creating his own cutting garden.   I really admire people with a colourful and creative talent, yet I also understand the hard work and determination it takes to turn a passion into a business. This is most definitely the case with Graeme, as he has overcome many obstacles in his life and career to get where he is today – to the point where he now provides his creativity and designs for clients such as Jamie Oliver and National Geographic.   There is so much more to Graeme than filling our Instagram feeds with beautiful floral designs and I’m thankful I got the chance to discover this for myself.    Here are the highlights:  (01:16) Setting up a cutting garden to support the use of local flowers  (04:45) Moving from London to the countryside  (07:19) How Graeme got into the flower industry and the style he’s created  (13:46) Buying flowers for a florist and where ‘Bloom&amp;Burn’ came from  (15:39) The importance of Graeme’s relationship, being an anxious person and ways of managing stress  (24:17) Reading ‘suburban misery’ and books that hold a special place in Graeme’s heart  (29:06) Where he gets his inspiration from  (35:10) Graeme’s Instagram and website links    Graeme’s book recommendations:  Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata  Running with Scissors by Augusten Burroughs  Bridget Jones’s Diary by Helen Fielding    Find out more about Lucy and listen to more episodes at http://lucygourlay.com
