Helping others Bloom – one of the top female led companies shares her secrets to success.

Saskia Marjoram is passionate about flowers and how we interact with them. And has worked with flowers at some level for her whole life. Starting out as a professional gardener for Prince Michael of Kent and then, for 10 years whilst her children were growing she moved on to being a florist - mostly for HRH Prince of Wales where her work took her to palaces and banquets around the country. In her 30’s her relationship was falling apart, her children were having educational and behavioural issues and she was suffering from burnout.

It was then that a homeopath friend of hers, also having problems, suggested they try flower essences… and miraculously they worked.

However they couldn’t afford all of the essences they needed. It didn’t look that difficult to make them, and being women who were always up for trying things they made their first flower essence in 2003 and Saskia’s Flower Essences was born.

For many years they ran the company as a side hustle developing a range of single and combination essences and learning more and more about what each essence could help with until, in 2018, Saskia decided to rebrand and dedicate her life to getting the essences to a wider audience.

Since then the company has gone from strength to strength and is now regarded as one of the main female led companies producing flower essences in the UK. She has a shop dedicated to her essences and other related products in Somerset and has a thriving flower essence therapy practice.
