If Stalks Could Talk

My name is Jackie Stalker, and If Stalks Could Talk has been founded out of a passion for flowers.

 

I was born and raised on the Stalker family dairy, beef and sheep farm near Penrith. I moved to Newcastle for university, where I spent eighteen years, believing it would be my forever home. However, during lockdown, remote working and family needs prompted me to re-evaluate my life, leading me to leave my NHS Service Delivery role and return to my agricultural roots settling in North Cumbria, where I milk cows at a farm near Wigton.

 

Creativity has always been my aspiration, and now I'm dedicated to producing beautiful floral arrangements to make every If Stalks Could Talk event in the landscapes of Cumbria and its surroundings truly personal and memorable.

 

I trained at Tallulah Rose Flower School with the wonderful Rachel in the breath-taking setting of Levens Hall near Kendal. The school emphasises sustainable practices and floral mechanics (not a block of floral foam in sight), using locally grown, seasonal British flowers and foliage, aligning perfectly with my vision and values.

 

I am currently working on converting a horsebox into a customised floral studio (though it's work in progress)...watch this space!

​

I will do everything to ensure that your If Stalks Could Talk experience is creatively inspiring but calming. I want to create for those that share the sustainable, seasonal and locally grown ethos and for those that love and appreciate flowers, and well...just get it.

 

So get in touch, and let's start getting those stalks to do the talking at your event.
