Biography

Matthew began as a society florist's apprentice, trained with directors of prestige brands and suppliers to royal households, and entertained elite clients and guests as a highly sought caterer and Creative Director. Over 30 years, he's pursued cooking and floristry increasingly as expressions of heartfelt hospitality at home and found his ultimate source of the best ingredients and inspiration in gardening. From his native Horse and Bourbon Country in Kentucky, USA, today he teaches with remarkable effectiveness, illustrating lessons with insightful perspective, no-nonsense practicality, unforgettable stories from his one-of-a-kind life, and 35 varieties of roses, grown in his own gardens.

Additional Interests

Matthew is an accomplished designer with over 20 years experience collecting and sourcing extraordinary art and decorative objects and integrating antique and vintage elements into special events, floristry, and garden-home settings.
