It all began with a Crown mason jar. When Davis Khounnoraj and Adam Mallory opted to start a business together, they could only hope that it would resonate with Torontonians. When the duo began hawking teeny tiny mason jar terrariums with the aesthetic whimsy of Amélie and the lines of fine sculpture, word got around quick.
Downtowners cottoned onto the idea of a pint-sized forest in a jar — a speedy and low-commitment way to breathe new life into a room. At it turns out, Crown Flora's creations were exactly what the nature-deprived condo crowd had been craving.
Over-priced V-day rose bouquets are so overrated. Davis Khounnoraj and Adam Mallory, owners of Crown Flora Studio, are floral design geniuses. They create arrangements for weddings and events, and for the home. But, what’s truly special about Crown Flora is their terrariums plants and their workshops, where you can create your own. For $195, you get all the materials needed and an instructor to guide you in designing two terrariums you can surprise your lover with. Book your spot for the February 7, 10am to 12pm workshop through their website. Their next one is on February 21st.
Amongst the diverse and eclectic Parkdale neighbourhood lies Crown Flora, the owner-duo’s first brick and mortar storefront. Whether you fancy a unique floral arrangement or sophisticated terrarium to bring life to your home, Crown Flora has got you covered. Prefer to take more of a hands-on approach when bringing the outdoors in? Crown Flora also offers a variety of workshops, both group and private, that will have you adding “amateur florist” to your resume.
