Bouquets and flower arrangements traditionally decorate the important stages of our lives. But the fact that they can also be a gift that represents its region of origin is thanks to the creative streak of Elke Mitter from Blumenhandwerk Elke Mitter in Eferding.

Floristry is the art of composing the splendour of flowers and plants to suit the mood of the occasion. Elke Mitter, owner of "Blumenhandwerk Elke" in Eferding, is a true master of her trade. As soon as customers enter the shop, which is housed in an old vault, they realise that a high level of craftsmanship and a good eye for beauty prevail here. It smells pleasantly of fresh flowers. Colours and shapes are perfectly combined. Elke Mitter and her staff know how to express emotions through flowers to suit every occasion. Be it in a creative bridal bouquet for the most beautiful day of your life,
a blooming gift to express your affection for someone or discreet mourning jewellery that gives comfort to the bereaved. Striking the right note in this work doesn't just mean combining the right flowers with the right accessories. It also involves a good dose of creativity which ennobles pure craftsmanship into a form of art .
