Born and raised in Trinidad, on the edge of the vibrant Caribbean, Bert’s connection to the world of floral design feels almost innate. After graduating from art school, he embarked on his professional journey at the renowned Sissinghurst floral studio in Toronto. There, he trained under the masterful Richard Hayter, whose boundless creativity, generosity, and profound love for flowers left an indelible mark. Though Richard passed away in 1995, his inspiring spirit continues to influence Bert’s work, shaping his designs with the same passion and artistry that first sparked his career.
