Creating an atmosphere for meaningful moments with distinctive floral memories.
Exfolia Botanical is the Chicago based floral project of Cassandra Stadnicki.
Cassandra’s fondest early memories are those walking through a rainy Midwest forest looking for mushrooms or making peony bouquets with her Dad to gift their sweet neighbors every spring.
Her fine art photography background lead her to create immersive gallery and public art experiences investigating nature, impermanence, memory and connection, while honing invaluable skills in hospitality.
After a five month visit in SE Asia, Cassandra became a professional forager for chefs across Chicago and managed a greenhouse and hydroponic lab before becoming a floral designer. Self taught, professionally trained and with nature as her guide, she opened her brick and mortar floral studio and retail shop in June 2021.
With her artistic eye and love of nature, Cassandra creates floral designs that celebrate the unique shapes, colors, and wonders of the botanical world.
