Hi! I’m Julie Rémy—Belgo-Canadian floral designer, flower grower, treat maker, and founder of Fleuris Orchard & Blooms.

Fleuris was born from a lifelong love affair with beauty in all its forms—nature, antiques, interior spaces, scrumptious food, and the rhythm of the seasons. Before flowers, I worked as a humanitarian photographer and translator, living in Montreal, Toronto, and Brussels, and travelling across the globe. But it was here, in a hidden orchard at the foot of PKOLS (Mount Douglas Park) in Victoria, BC, that my vision took root.

I never resonated with traditional floristry. But when I discovered designers who grew their own flowers—who let nature and the seasons guide their creations—I knew I’d found my people. Fleuris Orchard & Blooms is my ode to this philosophy. It’s not just about arranging flowers—it’s about cultivating beauty that nourishes both people and the planet. Flowers should be grown, not flown. And fine floral artistry can support pollinators, rebuild soil health, and reconnect us to the land.

The 2.2 acres of farmland we care for—once a wild tangle of brambles—is now a small but mighty orchard garden filled with fruit and rare blooms, where frogs croak, owls nest, bees nap, and magic lingers. Once part of an 800-acre farm stewarded by Mr. Glendenning, the first recorded farmer on Vancouver Island, this land is now lovingly tended by me, my husband Dwight (a professional landscaper and gardener), and my in-laws Mary and Earl. We cherish this place deeply and steward it with care, respect, and a commitment to those who came before us—and those who will come after.

We work only with local, seasonal, and sustainable ingredients—most grown right here in our orchard. The results? Artfully wild, deeply intentional florals for weddings, events, editorial shoots, and homes that crave a connection to nature. And yes—our prices reflect the love, talent, and quality that go into everything we create.

I’m proud to be a member of the Slow Flowers Society and the Sustainable Floristry Network, because for us, sustainability isn’t a buzzword—it’s our foundation.
