In this episode of the Team Flower Podcast, Kiana is sharing a bit about how her Persian background has influenced her life with flowers. She’s walking us through the importance of working with flowers out of a place of confidence rather than a place of fear. Fear prevents you from being creative and is often supported by a set of rules you think you need to follow. Kiana is taking a stand against those rules and encouraging freedom in floral design.

I have always felt a connection with orchards and tree fruit. When I was a young child, we would visit my grandmother in the countryside, and I’d see apples on the trees—once I saw a barn owl in the orchard which was amazing. At home, my father would get me to climb the cherry tree and pick the fruit and my maternal grandfather would turn up with big trays of plums, which we children would devour.
