Susan Wood is the Principal of Twigs Flowers. She is passionate about flowers and believes they are as exciting as fashion and interior design and accessible to all.
After a 21 year career in the media, Susan has taken the leap from being a Producer at the BBC to following her dream of working with flowers full time.
Originally trained with a degree in Fashion and Textiles at Bretton Hall, Susan then taught at Frome College for five years and subsequently became an Education Officer for The Design Council promoting good design. While at the BBC, Susan trained as a florist both locally and with some of the UK's top floral designers. This passion spurred a programme idea, which she put forward, pitched and successfully won, it became BBC Wales' first Daytime TV commission. This was a series on flower arranging called Blooming Lovely for BBC ONE and BBC TWO. The series was transmitted over twelve times and repeated over six years.
Susan has worked on many national events for the BBC as a Producer including the Springwatch Festival, BBC Blast creative arts truck, Comic Relief and Sport Relief working as a Broadcast Coordinator.
"I feel so excited that I can at last bring my design and teaching skills together working with stunning flowers"
Twigs Flowers provide flowers for corporate and individual clients, events of all sizes and weddings. The Twigs Flowerbox is an exciting way to receive and send flowers to and through your door. The Twigs Flower School teaches students to have a go for themselves and although arranging flowers beautifully is a skill, with expert tuition it is absolutely achievable to everyone.
