Creekside Floral Collective
Creekside Floral Collective is a celebration of seasonal beauty, sustainable blooms, and community-centred floral design. Founded out of friendship and a shared love of flowers, the Collective has grown into a floral business rooted in nature, connection, and creativity — bringing the magic of locally grown florals to weddings, events, and everyday life.
What makes us unique is our commitment to flowers that reflect the seasons and landscape of the Bulkley Valley — thoughtfully grown, carefully curated, and designed with heart. From farm to bouquet, sustainability and authenticity guide everything we do.
Our Story
The idea for Creekside Floral Collective began with two friends — Anna Gauthier and Lindsay Heer — who shared a love for blooms, farms, and the beauty of rural life. Together they explored floral design, experimented with local growing, and built a business that married creativity with community values. Their different strengths — Anna’s deep connection to growing and Lindsay’s design background — shaped the early identity of the Collective and laid a foundation that’s still felt today.
As the business evolves, Lindsay has taken the next step forward as the sole owner of Creekside Floral Collective. While this chapter is led by her vision, Anna’s early contributions remain an important part of our history — her passion for local blooms and community-first approach helped grow the seed that became Creekside. We’re deeply grateful for the role she played in shaping who we are today.

Robin Creek Flower Farm
I’m originally a bit of a town girl, having grown up in Smithers. After graduating, I spent a few years exploring beyond home—studying and au pairing abroad—before eventually following a creative pull to Olds College, where I earned my certificate in Commercial Floristry and discovered just how much I loved the creative side of flowers and plants.
Eventually, life brought me back home, where my partner and I started building a life together on his family’s farm. These days, alongside raising dairy and beef cattle, we’re also raising four daughters—which, if you know anything about farm kids, means there’s rarely a dull moment. Life looks a lot like muddy boots, busy schedules, garden rows, and trying to keep track of ducks, cats, and children who all seem determined to roam freely.
I didn’t grow up on a farm, but somewhere along the way this life became mine too. I’ve grown to love the hard work, the unpredictability, and the satisfaction that comes with growing good food, working with the land, and building something meaningful for our family.
Before kids, I spent much of my time focused on floral design and events. Then life got busy in the way life tends to do, and flowers took a bit of a backseat for a season. But the pull toward them never really went away.
Through a lucky connection at a dairy industry event, I met a nursery owner and experienced grower who would become a partner in planting something completely new—an acre of peonies. That partnership eventually grew into a business where farming and floristry collide in the best possible way.
In 2025 I’ve finally checked off a long time dream—hosting weddings on the farm. Seeing couples celebrate at the Lemieux Barn, in a space so connected to our family and farm has been incredibly rewarding, and I’m excited to keep growing that side of the business.
What started as a creative outlet has grown into a business I’m deeply proud of—one that blends agriculture, artistry, and a whole lot of real life in between.
We believe in:
Sustainability. Once you know better, you do better. As Canadians learn more about the ethics, environmental integrity, health & safety, social issues and the carbon outputs that go into foreign flower flower production, the desire will only grow to connect with local farmers.
You can find us:
Chasing dreams...and cows, chickens and our kids around the farm.
We are not about:
Imported Florals. We need to reconsider what is seasonal and adapt our practices to reflect our local geography and growing conditions-ie no more roses for Valentine's Day. We embrace what is fresh and seasonal and are showing our community that meaningful change can come from a single purchase.
