ABOUT HANKA:

Hanka Miziova, our Florist at Killruddery, originally trained as a landscape architect.

Passionate about all things floral, right after completing her master's degree in landscape design and urbanism, Hanka went on to train in floristry and opened her own floral business. After four years she decided to pursue a career in high-end event floristry and get more in touch with the harvesting process in Vienna.

Consequently, she went on to work in various locations all around Italy where she could experience the fast-paced nature of creating floral designs for large-scale events as well as get to see the use of native florals in their natural conditions.

With eight years of experience in floristry and limitless curiosity about seasonal floral possibilities, Hanka places importance on strengthening the connection that people have with flowers and perceives flowers to be a delicate means to bring people closer to nature in a creative and meaningful way.
