Botanica Nashville is a floral and landscape design studio based in Nashville, Tennessee. According to its website, the studio creates custom floral arrangements, installations, and landscape designs, drawing on flowers grown in its own cutting gardens. The work is led by designer Carter Dawson, who centers the studio’s approach on the seasonal changes of nature and on locally grown blooms.
Services
The website describes a design practice that spans floral and landscape work:
- Custom floral design and installations: Arrangements and larger floral installations created for clients and events.
- Event floral services: Florals designed for gatherings and special occasions.
- Landscape design: Design work that reflects the founder’s training in landscape architecture.
A defining feature of the studio, as described on the site, is its reliance on flowers grown by the business itself. Botanica Nashville sources blooms from its own cutting gardens in Nashville and from a farm in Robertson County, Tennessee. This emphasis on home-grown material shapes the studio’s seasonal aesthetic and ties each design to what is available at a given time of year.
About
The website states that Botanica Nashville was founded by Carter Dawson, who grew up in a gardening family and studied landscape architecture at Louisiana State University. The site notes that she took a fifteen-year hiatus to work in her family business before returning to design work and establishing the studio.
The studio’s philosophy is built around following nature’s seasons. According to the website, seasonal availability guides every creation: bulbs and blooming branches in spring, heat-loving perennials in summer, seed pods and crimson foliage in fall, and berries and seasonal greenery during the holidays. This seasonal framework means the studio’s palette and materials shift throughout the year, with designs reflecting what the cutting gardens and farm are producing in each season. The approach positions Botanica Nashville as a design studio rooted in horticulture and local growing rather than relying solely on imported stock.
