Blumenbett Nature from its loveliest side

Olga Sirotin, owner and soul of flower shop Blumenbett located on Kollwitzstraße in Prenzlauer Berg, is originally from North Caucasus. She came to Bayreuth when she was fifteen and later became a florist here. Out of sheer enthusiasm for flowers and nature in general.

When she came to Berlin after finishing her education, a leading Berlin florist hired her on the spot. She stayed there for two years. In 2013 she opened her own store, Blumenbett. These days you can feel her passion when she talks about her work.

I get another totally different view of her magical, wild bouquets which I would love to take home with me. They are bound and seem so natural and vegetative, you might think somebody had just picked them.

Olga Sirotin especially enjoys decorating her bouquets in vases in order to create harmony. Always true to the motto: less is more. Here, she also finds it important that the flowers last as long as possible and have not traveled halfway around the world.

But she would be nothing without her team, the owner emphasises. She has already employed three florists who simply did not share her philosophy. Human contact, both with the costumers as well as with her own team, is very important to her.

Flowers are a luxury. She wishes to pass on this awareness. The exchange with the customers is necessary for her to be able to go home feeling fulfilled. "I never want to do anything else," she gushes. And I believe her immediately!
