What we do

We craft bespoke, avant-garde floral designs that capture your vision, utilising premium, sustainably grown materials cultivated right on our family farm.

Founded by fine artist and florist Charlotte Foster-Lill, Thistle & Thorne blends avant-garde design with homegrown freshness. Charlotte’s journey began in 2018, spanning years of collaboration in York and Oxford – where she studied Fine Art – and culminating in winning 1st Place and Best in Show at the Harrogate Flower Show.

Based on our family-run Crambe Grange Farm in North Yorkshire, we grow as much of our own material as possible, sourcing the rest from trusted, premium suppliers who share our deep commitment to sustainability.

Every practice we use is evolving to protect the environment, and every design we create is entirely bespoke – capturing your distinct vision to turn your special moments into living fine art.
