Pretty Posy is a small floral design company owned and operated by me, Rachel Black, a lifetime resident of Ottawa, and longtime lover of flowers.

Pretty Posy is an extension of the legacy of my grandmother, Goldie, who is known for her (somewhat excessive) love of flowers. No cake she has baked is complete without a thorough covering of fresh flowers from her garden...or pine sprigs in the winter when flowers are harder to come by. Not surprisingly it was while helping Goldie with arrangements for a wedding at age 18 that made me realize I love working with flowers! Since then I have gained the skills and knowledge to turn my hobby into a business... How great is that?

No surprise, it was Goldie who made me hop out of the car on the highway to stand in a field of lupins.
