I Am Rotorua – Julie Senington

I Am Rotorua Business Charity and Community

From rustic posies to glamorous bridal bouquets, there’s nothing flower-related that Julie Senington can’t turn into a masterpiece, including blooms that dry into long-lasting beauties. Even throughout winter, there are plenty of pretty options gracing her shop, Kānuka Boutique Florist.

“I’ve been a florist in Rotorua for the last 25 years. We wanted to bring something special into Rotorua, something more modern and unique. We also like to support a lot of local families and artists and with our gifting we like to support local if we can. We try to be really community focused and look after each other.

“I really love helping people. When it’s sympathy flowers, it’s quite fulfilling for me because I feel like I’m helping the family at the time with flowers. When people come in and say that they have received a beautiful bunch of flowers from us, that’s so heartwarming.”
