Sophia Laurenson

Sofia Lorenson is our expert on floriculture, floristry, and creating gardens that bloom continuously.
Sofia's passion for flowers began in her grandmother's garden in North Carolina, where she first learned the names of all the perennials and how to arrange bouquets. She studied ornamental horticulture and floristry at the New York Botanical Garden.
For over 10 years, Sofia ran her own flower boutique in Charleston, specializing in wedding floristry and “cut gardens.” Her deep knowledge of color combinations, plant seasonality, and the creation of stunning flowerbed arrangements has helped hundreds of clients transform their gardens into true works of art.
Sofia now devotes herself to lecturing and creating gardens that attract butterflies and bees. She is an active member of the American Gardens community and promotes the ideas of sustainable floriculture. On her plot in Virginia, she experiments with new varieties of peonies and dahlias, adores fragrant roses, and creates flower borders that delight the eye from early spring to late autumn.
In her articles for GardenWiseHub, Sofia not only gives practical care tips but also inspires readers to create beautiful and harmonious floral arrangements in their gardens and homes.
