A few hundred thousand stalks of dried Ranunculus, Salvia, Amaranthus, Helichrysum and herbs are just some of the plants that leave visitors awestruck in Louise Steenkamp and Conrad Conradie’s attic in Wellington. The scent in the air is amazing and the atmosphere almost sacred – a dream world in which to celebrate.
It took floriculturists Louise and Conrad and their team about a year to set up the 300m² attic as a drying room for their business, The Wild Bunch Flower Farm. The light and temperature were specially adapted to keep the dried flowers well preserved for many years to come.
