Neville MacKay

Broadcast Date February 13, 2019

With today’s guest I can honestly say “enjoyable” doesn’t go far enough – ask anyone who’s had the good fortune of watching and working with Neville MacKay and they’ll say he is a riot. Do a search on SeaAndBeScene.com and you’ll see Mr. MacKay is our resident EAST COAST EXPERT when it comes to all things floral. Truth be told his skills and dedication to the craft have garnered him worldwide expert status – touring throughout North America and the UK sharing his wealth of knowledge and always presenting a fresh and fabulous affinity for flowers. Besides all that and running his incredible Halifax-based shop called My Mother’s Bloomers, Neville is a regular guest on morning Television and radio here in Atlantic Canada, Mr. Mackay is also an author and regular contributor to numerous international publications. And while his schedule is beyond busy he always finds time to give back so much so that his philanthropic work has led to him receiving many awards, including a commendation from the Nova Scotia Lt. Governor. And that great giving continues on February 29th when Neville along with his Husband David Macfarlane host an evening of Fun, Flowers, and Fundraising all in support of Kids Help Phone. So we’ll talk about all of that and then some including – how he first got his start in floral design, where he stands on packing light and his continuing love for CORONATION STREET. With all that ahead I say let’s get to it. Here’s my conversation with the one and only Neville MacKay!
