Welcome to GARsDEN FLOWERS
Hi there— I’m Kelly Guidotti (formally Garcea) and this is my “Gar-Den.” I’m a floral designer who came about this career switch after moving to a house with lots of space for a beautiful cut flower garden. Growing up in a city, there wasn’t a lot of room for one, and I knew I was going to learn how. With a masters in education, and 16 years in a public school classroom, my approach with flowers is how I do everything, with a drive to always learn more, and a deep love of sharing my passion by helping other people learn and grow too! I am a micro flower farmer, educator, and designer.
My goal is to help others learn how to use cut flowers to design beautiful arrangements and floral art. I do this by offering classes around the Southern New Hampshire area for others to learn too. Whether you are getting married and looking to DIY your flowers, or a person who wants to use what’s in your garden to create beautiful works of art, I am your gal!
I'm passionate about the beauty of our natural world, and how we can appreciate it in the moment. Getting my hands in the dirt and working with a live material helps you to not only feel connected to our world, but also to appreciate that everything has a season; to live in the present. It is grounding and calming work that brings joy! I am so lucky to be a part of the floral community. Please feel free to explore my work and join me on this journey of floral beauty and education. Currently available for designs, providing guidance and florals for your event, freelance work, and hosting floral educational events.

What GARsDEN Offers
Whether a personal floral arrangement or an event, GARsDEN can provide you with the finished pieces, or the materials for you to complete it on your own. We are passionate about providing time, space, and knowledge for others to join in on experiencing the joy flowers can bring.
-
Host a floral class for you and your friends! You provide the space, and I’ll provide the materials and my expertise. I will guide participants through a lesson, and then give everyone time to explore and create their own masterpiece. I will stay to guide, (or supervise), and then will clean up when it’s over.
Choose classes like:
centerpieces
floral crowns
wreaths
wedding workshop- learn to create personals
Please inquire about pricing based on location, type of event, and amount of participants.
-
I am passionate about working with locally owned businesses to create experiences for your customers. Think collaborations with book groups, fermentation and flowers, beer and blooms, coffee and creativity. The possibilities are only limited by our minds (and probably what the space allows). Please reach out and we can talk about collaborating for a future event.
-
With my small cut flower garden, along with a local network of other flower farmers, I can put together buckets of curated blooms for your event. We can collaborate on this or you can let me know what you’d like to build with them, and I can provide the floral materials. I also have access to a more traditional flower market if you are looking for a specific bloom, just keep in mind seasonality always is a factor with live materials.
-
arrangements
wrapped bouquets
wedding design work
arbor installations (on pre-existing arbors)
Open to other ideas, reach out and I am happy to see if it’s a good fit
