Wona Bae has a passion for flowers. A Korean and German trained florist, she is a Master of Kokozi (Korean style Ikebana) and Master of Floristry in Germany where she studied under the guidance of the legendary, Ursula Wegener. Korean born, Wona grew up on a flower farm in South Korea where she learned the family trade from a young age. Her name literally means 'the best seedling'. Today Wona works as a botanical designer, teacher and sculptor in Melbourne, Australia. Together with husband and creative partner Charlie Lawler, the pair have created Loose Leaf, a botanical design studio and carefully considered retail and workshop space, where they specialise in both permanent and temporary botanical design and installations for events and exhibitions. Charlie Lawler has a Master of Design, and has also studied Permaculture Design. As well as working as a botanical designer and natural sculptor at Loose Leaf, he is a co-founder of Grow Day plant fair, an enthusiastic event that includes plants, botanical wares and workshops for plant lovers.
"Bae and Lawler's dreamy book unknowingly gifts the reader with a lust for the lushest life possible. It's easy to become lost in the gorgeous photography and passion of their explorations. It's even more exciting to realize their visually stunning creations are practical DIY projects" - RedEye Chicago
