MEET KIRSTY GLASGOW FROM FRAMED ALIVE

Kirsty, the founder of Framed Alive, a business where passion, plants and creativity, intertwine to produce living art in frames.

”My green thumb was being nurtured from when I was very young, when my Mum and Dad owned a nursery in the UK and grew plants for Covent Garden markets in the 1970's. “

“Over the years I learnt the Latin names of many plants as they were dotted through general conversation. In later years when moving from flats, houses, cities and islands and then becoming a Mum, my plant collection dwindled through sheer lack of attention over time.

At Framed Alive, we produce living art, with the majority of our frames boasting stunning designs made from succulents. Plants are arranged into repurposed items such as windows, picture frames or even shoes. Because of this, some frames have imperfections, that we have not tried to fix, as it adds to the overall character of the finished product.

Take your business to a new level for just $75+GST per week.  Call Tony on 021 911 722 and he will explain how using digital marketing he will grow your brand and ultimately help you grow your business.
