Four florists share the cedar benches and the cooler at Fernwood Stem Studio, bringing formal botanical training, foam-free mechanics and a real stubbornness about vase life to every piece that goes out the door.
Founder & creative floral director · AIFD, CFD
Trained in classical horticulture and European garden design, Camille earned her AIFD accreditation and opened the studio to bring farm-fresh, unfussy floristry to Asheville. She leads creative direction for weddings, teaches the studio workshops and still visits mountain growers at sunrise each week of the harvest.
Botanical sourcing & conditioning lead · B.S. Horticulture
Whether a bouquet droops on day three or opens slowly all week comes down to post-harvest care. Nora orders our weekly stems from regional micro-farms, runs cooler humidity and hydration treatments, builds the daily bouquets and subscription pieces, and advises on cat- and dog-safe varieties.
Subscriptions, gifting & sympathy concierge
Evelyn is the calm, organised voice at the studio desk. She works gently with families arranging memorial tributes, looks after corporate and residential accounts and their vessel rotations, and sends gift senders a photo of their bouquet the moment it leaves with the courier.
Senior event & installation designer · CFD
Mateo builds the studio's largest pieces, from grounded ceremony meadows to standing sympathy sprays, on reusable steel armatures, water tubes and chicken wire instead of single-use foam. He also teaches the mechanics half of every workshop, so guests leave knowing how to make a design drink.
