Hi, I’m Chaithali - the hands and heart behind Florantha. I live in Markham, Ontario with my husband and two boys, and in my free time, you’ll usually find me in my garden, surrounded by flowers. What started as a small, therapeutic hobby slowly grew into something more meaningful - a way to share the quiet joy I find in growing and preserving nature.

Florantha is my way of bringing those moments to others. Every flower I use is grown, harvested, and pressed by me, with patience and care. I feel incredibly lucky to turn something that started as a quiet therapy into pieces that bring joy to others. Each creation carries a bit of my garden, a bit of time, and a lot of heart.

I’m especially thrilled when I meet people at my pop-up markets and hear that my creations bring back memories of their moms and grandmoms pressing flowers between books or remind them of growing up seeing forget-me-nots in fields near their homes. It’s a joy to know my little garden can brighten someone’s day.
