Bonnie Dowie

Hi there!

I’m the Bonnie behind the Blooms. I’m not the most ‘put-together’ person you’ll ever meet (by a million miles). I wear my heart firmly on my sleeve and deeply value authenticity in how I communicate, create and connect with others. 

I’ve done a very random assortment of things over the past 10 years or so. Studied two degrees, travelled and lived overseas, started a social enterprise (Jolly Good Events), worked in shearing sheds here and in Scotland, done some freelance writing, worked with children…and now here I am, in amongst the wildflowers. 

Unexpected, unplanned…but I love it. It feels like I’ve found ‘my thing’. 

I’ve found great meaning in the work I do, most significantly in its relation to beauty. I believe beauty is important and powerful because of its ability to open eyes and hearts to all the good, hopeful, lovely, wonderful things in the world. And I think we desperately need this, in a world saturated with chaos and bad news stories. 

I think that nature, and flowers, were always intended to bring joy, comfort, hope, peace and healing to our lives. To be able to serve others and create art through this medium is, well, pretty flipping great.
