From the Lacy Bird studio
Knowing where a flower is grown is the first lesson in sourcing it well — the heart of Lacy Bird Academy, where working designers teach the trade. If you would rather receive the flowers than track them, we deliver bouquets across Dubai. And every stem on this map has its own page in our flower encyclopedia.
