    Constance Stuurman - Floral Artist & Gardener

    In our second episode of BabylonSTORIES, we talk with Constance Stuurman, floral artist, gardening guru and a true force of nature at Babylonstoren. Affectionately known as Connie, she is instantly recognisable for her unmistakable presence, boundless energy and a Tina Turner-like spirit. Connie has become legendary for her daily garden tours, spontaneous farm walks and the joyful way she shares her knowledge. Raised on the wisdom of her granny Angelina and great-grandmother Anna - who lived to the remarkable ages of 101 and 113 - Constance carries a deep reverence for traditional Khoi healing herbs. She speaks about the five superherbs behind her immunity-boosting brew, grown in the Healing Garden, and about a life shaped by plants, ancestral knowledge and creativity. From expressive floral arrangements to hands-on workshops, Connie’s work reflects an unshakeable belief in nature’s power to heal, teach, create and inspire.
