About Lara Rose

Lara Rose Bos has always had a deep connection to the natural world, nurtured by her childhood on an ornamental tree farm in the picturesque town of Balingup. Some of her earliest memories involve playing in a fairy garden nestled among her mother’s wild violet patch, where her love for plants and nature began to bloom.

Her formal career in the botanical world took off in 2006, when she moved to Melbourne and excelled in her two-year horticultural diploma, graduating as dux of her class. During her studies, Lara’s talent for garden design was recognized when her creation was selected to be showcased at the prestigious Melbourne Flower and Garden Show in 2007. This experience sparked a lifelong passion for temporary installations and immersive set design, laying the foundation for her future career.

After traveling the world and absorbing inspiration from different cultures, Lara returned to Western Australia in 2014 and, alongside her husband, launched a full-service events company in the South West. Over the past decade, they have catered to hundreds of weddings, corporate events, and festivals, offering everything from marquees and lighting to music, styling, and florals. Lara, however,gravitated toward large-scale botanical and upcycled mixed media installations, which she calls "Landscapes of the Heart." Her earth-conscious approach to design is driven by a desire to create meaningful, immersive experiences that are kind to the environment and reconnect people with the natural world.I

Her artistic journey has also taken her to the Pilbara, where she has collaborated on large-scale festival installations and run children’s workshops, sparking creativity in the next generation. Lara’s expertise in festival installations has even led her beyond Australia, with recent work taking her to Bali, Japan, and New Zealand. Throughout her career, she’s maintained a tireless dedication to creating fully immersive, thoughtful experiences that captivate the senses and honour the earth.

Today, as co-founder of Gather - A Floral Community, alongside Rebecca Const, Lara continues to share her love for flowers and the art of storytelling through floristry, building a space where creativity, nature, and community come together in harmony.
