Rooted in the garden
I’m Susan, the founder of Flora & Fawn, a gardener, and a chemistry PhD working in the biotech industry.
Flora & Fawn was founded in 2025, but its story began years earlier. In 2020, I fell unexpectedly in love with gardening. Born and raised in a city, I had little experience growing anything. Yet I transformed a neglected backyard into a garden for every season, sharing what I learned about growing flowers and combining plants on my YouTube channel.
Where it all began
Through the daily rhythm of tending my garden, I became attuned to the changing seasons: a tiny rosebud slowly unfolding into bloom, the interplay of texture, color, and movement, and the feelings these combinations could evoke. Over time, I wanted to share more than the garden itself. I wanted to bring its beauty into people’s lives—to express what words sometimes cannot, and to be part of the moments they would always remember.
From that desire,
Flora & Fawn took root.
The spirit of Flora & Fawn
Its name draws inspiration from an ancient Chinese verse:
“呦呦鹿鸣，食野之苹”—deer calling softly as they graze in the wild.
Flowers and deer embody the spirit of my work: natural, graceful, and full of life. Every design begins with this connection to the garden, often with a personal touch from blooms I grow myself.
Beauty, thoughtfully brought to life
Bringing that beauty to a wedding takes both imagination and thoughtful execution. My scientific background brings careful planning, practical problem-solving, and dependable follow-through to every celebration. It also fuels my curiosity about materials, including the possibilities of fresh and silk flowers—combining living beauty with lifelike, reusable elements for greater resilience outdoors and more freedom in design.
Let’s bring your vision to life through flowers, creating a celebration that never fades from memory—and keeps the feeling of that day alive forever.
