2021 READERS’ CHOICE AWARDS
SEASONAL,
FORAGED
BOUQUETS AT
NANSEN FLORALS
Floral business operates out
of home studio in Seaview
BY HEATHER DOUGLAS
For Nansen Malin, operating a full
service fl oral studio off ers a deep sense
of purpose. “Every single day, I have a
deep heartfelt connection and confi rma-
tion that I am doing what I’m supposed
to be doing,” Malin said.
Nansen Florals is based in Malin’s
home workshop and greenhouse, located
one block away from Pacifi c Avenue in
Seaview, Washington.
It was voted the 2021 Readers’
Choice Awards Best Florist.
The studio has seen an increase in
orders over the past year, and some
changes have been made to the work-
shop to handle the increase in volume.
Malin’s husband joins in to help
with deliveries on peak busy days, yet
she tries to schedule time for deliveries
because it’s her favorite task. “One of the
best parts of the job is seeing the look
on the face of the person receiving their
fl owers,” Malin said.
