Our Philosophy: The Union of Structure and Nature
At Cog & Petal, we believe true beauty thrives at the intersection of the meticulously man-made and the wonderfully wild natural world. Our 'Cog' represents the precision, the foundational engineering, and the enduring structure found in modern industrial design. It's the framework, the reliable mechanism.
The 'Petal', on the other hand, symbolises the organic, the ephemeral, and the transformative power of botanical life. It's the vibrant growth, the delicate form, the burst of natural elegance. Together, we bring these two distinct yet complementary worlds together to design and build bespoke living art that doesn't just decorate, but redefines and breathes life into any commercial, public, or private space.

A Glimpse Into Our Work
Our Collaborative Process
Consult & Conceptualise
Every exceptional design begins with understanding. We start with an in-depth consultation at your space, allowing us to grasp your unique vision, aesthetic preferences, and the environment's specific challenges and opportunities.
Design & Propose
Our creative team then translates insights into innovation. We develop a detailed design proposal complete with thoughtful sketches, inspiring mood boards, and a fully transparent quote for your thorough review and approval.
Source & Create
With an agreed vision, we responsibly source the finest, freshest botanicals and high-quality materials. Our skilled artisans then begin the meticulous process of handcrafting and building your bespoke installation with precision and artistry.
Install & Maintain
Finally, our professional team ensures a seamless installation, handling every detail with care and efficiency. Beyond installation, we offer ongoing tailored maintenance plans to ensure your botanical artwork continues to thrive and flourish beautifully.
Rooted in Responsibility
Our unwavering commitment to creating breathtaking beauty is precisely matched by our dedication to environmental stewardship. At Cog & Petal, we deeply integrate sustainable practices into the very fabric of every project we undertake.
- Locally Sourced: We passionately prioritise local British growers, significantly reducing 'flower miles' and supporting our community.
- Waste Reduction: Every organic scrap is carefully composted, and we are proudly committed to being entirely foam-free in our arrangements.
- Water Conservation: Our living walls incorporate intelligent, water-efficient irrigation systems, minimising water usage.
- Peat-Free: We exclusively use sustainable, environmentally friendly peat-free composts for all our planting and landscaping endeavours.
