Ming Veevers-Carter is a florist who represented New Covent Garden Market at the 2016 Chelsea Flower Show. [1] She designed a floral portrait of the Queen which was the centrepiece of 10,000 flowers and foliage stems in a display called "Behind Every Great Florist". Photographs of this with the Queen appeared in the press, and the display won a gold medal and the Royal Horticultural Society's New Design award. [2] [3] [4]
Her work now focusses on creating floral installations for events at places such as the National Gallery, Saatchi Gallery, Tate Modern and Victoria and Albert Museum. [5] These are large floral displays built on armatures. [5]
Veevers-Carter wrote Celebration Flowers: Designing & Arranging (1990), [6] which Library Journal called a "useful as an idea book and as a guide to the techniques and materials used in flower arranging." [7]
