ABOUT our ORCHARD GARDEN
Blooms
We grow beauty! We cultivate the flowers we design with right in our orchard garden, transforming it into a magical haven filled with life, gorgeous fragrances, and vibrant colours. This hands-on approach ensures that every arrangement is fresh and filled with the beauty of nature.
Produce
In addition to a small vegetable patch, our orchard yields blueberries, raspberries, plums, figs, pears, quinces and apples. Whether enjoyed fresh from the orchard or transformed into delightful treats, we love sharing the scrumptious bounty of our garden with you.
Virtuous Cycle
Our flowers are grown with love and respect, thoughtfully using every inch of our land. By nurturing healthy soils and fostering a balanced ecosystem, we attract pollinators and beneficial insects that support abundant blooms and fruit crops. Though not certified organic, we practice regenerative agriculture, avoiding harmful chemicals and using sustainable, natural methods. The orchard’s cooling shade provides relief for both us and the flowers as we manually tend the gardens. We also reserve part of our crops to nourish bees, hummingbirds, butterflies, and other beneficial insects—key teammates in growing healthy flowers and fruits.

How FLEURIS started
Hi there! I'm Julie Rémy. I created FLEURIS Orchard & Blooms out of my love for flowers and beautiful things.
FLEURIS embodies my passions for gardening, photography, interior design, antiques, delicious food, European charm, and a love of colours, textures, and lines.
After living in Montreal, Toronto, and Brussels, and traveling the world as a Belgo-Canadian humanitarian photographer, I settled in Victoria, BC. While I was never drawn to traditional floristry, I fell in love with the artistry of floral designers who work with local, seasonal ingredients, often grown in their own gardens. I began by establishing a floral design studio in the orchard of Glendenning Farm, my in-laws' hobby farm, which has since merged with Fleuris Studio & Blooms to form FLEURIS Orchard & Blooms.
FLEURIS was born not only from my passions and commitment to leaving a positive impact on nature but also thanks to the hard work of my husband, Dwight, a professional landscaper, and his parents, Mary and Earl, who welcomed us to their farm. When Mary and Earl acquired the farm, the orchard was hidden beneath heavy bramble bushes, in desperate need of care. They began reviving the 2-acre farm a couple of decades ago. Historically, it was a parcel of land belonging to Mr. Glendenning, the first recorded farmer on Vancouver Island. Today, the orchard is filled with beautiful specialty cut flowers and fruits. Beyond its natural beauty, there’s something magical about the frogs croaking happily and owls nesting in our wild patch of woods at night, adding a fairytale twist to the orchard.
FLEURIS is proud to be a member of the Slow Flowers Society, and I’m also a member of the Sustainable Floristry Network.
