  Donald is from North London, where he skillfully transferred fifteen years retail experience at M&S, a theatrical background and a passion for art & design to floristry. These skills have enabled him to find a niche in life, post-Dartington College of Arts (1999), where he gained a BA (Hons) Theatre degree. Don developed his passion for flowers into a specialist art form, that is instantly recognised by regular customers, photographers and other fellow business owners. He owes his love of floristry to Jane Morrell for the oportunity she gave him back in 2001 at Green Fuse. He took a break from Totnes in favour of the bright lights and buzz of London, where he moved onto what he describes as toughening up his skills. This he developed at Harrods (Aug 2003), under the concession held by Moyses Stevens and their other branches throughout London. Don described working at Harrods to treading the boards of a theatre; equally gruelling and constantly performing for his audience. After his London style developed, Don returned to Devon (November 2004 - green fuse) and brought "city style" to "country chic". The fused style made a huge impact to a small rural, but hip town in Devon, known as Totnes. Choose and buy flowers for the company. Consultations with brides and grooms, wedding and other event venues. Design bridal bouquets, table arrangements etc.
