LeeDuhlLee Duhl is an experienced floral designer and owner of Snowdrops & Sage, LLC providing custom fresh florals for all occasions in greater Golden and Arvada.
 
Snowdrops & Sage
was initially established in late 2005 in Lexington, Massachusetts specifically to offer the town and its neighboring communities a unique approach to the purchase of fresh flowers. In January of 2008 the company was sold when Lee and her family decided to relocate from Massachusetts to Colorado.  Once settled in Golden Lee determined the area could benefit from a service like hers and re-launched the business in June of 2009.

SDS2Now operating from a cozy studio space within her Table Rock home Lee works actively with her clients craft distinctive, seasonal fresh floral pieces of all shapes and sizes, with customer preference woven into every design. As a freelancer, Lee is indeed "free" to devote the time to assess and address exactly what is necessary to meet her clients' expectations. She is not bound by a pressure to mass-produce or adhere to traditional floral practices, putting forth a refreshing departure from other commercial floral operations. Lee specializes in setting festive backdrops for intimate weddings, tasteful memorials and funerals, individual deliveries and corporate gatherings. She is proud to offer unique designs for all occasions delivered with exceptional service.

SDS7Lee attended the Rittners School of Floral Design in Boston's Back Bay where she received the comprehensive training, historical perspective, and hands-on experience necessary to round out her understanding of the craft and the industry overall. Her work has been featured at numerous events over the years including "Art in Bloom" at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts, as well as during holiday and special exhibits at The National Heritage Museum in Lexington, Massachusetts. Her service was also profiled in The Boston Sunday Globe Magazine. Lee is currently a candidate for "Flower Show School", pursuing studies to become a floral judge in accordance with standards set forth by the Colorado Federation of Garden Clubs.  She is sponsored by the Table Mountain Garden Club of Golden, CO.
