Meet Aina

Hello, it’s me, the enthusiast. My name is Aina and my love for flowers runs deep in the family.

Both of my grandmothers were farmers, growing their own food full-time, and both always made sure they had flowers growing too.

I don’t necessarily have to grow my own food anymore, unlike my ancestors in a deeply agrarian Dagestani region, but I find it very comforting and soothing to grow and work with flowers — and it ended up turning into a flower service.

Apart from flowers I am a big fan of music, Beyoncé, boxing and piano.

The enthusiast behind the name

Flower Enthusiast began as an inner call to do something with my own hands, be closer to nature, and create something much more beautiful than an Excel spreadsheet.

I’m a full-time corporate girly who self-taught flower arranging. I want the service to feel personal, so the idea is that I come to your place and arrange on the spot.

As of now, the service is available outside of business hours, which I think suits people with full-time jobs quite well. I’m happy to come to your place on the nearest Saturday or Sunday.

Flowers with a mind of their own.

Misha

Misha is my fur baby, who’s in most of my pictures. I do call her my helper, but she’s not much help, really. She’s quite the opposite — but I love her so much!!

If you would like flowers chosen with that same enthusiasm, for your home and how you live in it, I would love to hear from you.

Flower therapy workshops and quieter sessions with flowers, coming soon.
