Coddiwomple began with a simple belief:
flowers have the power to brighten someone's day.
We’re not just flower-obsessed co-founders of Coddiwomple – we’re sisters-in-law originally from South Africa. Flowers have always been part of our family’s life journey. From bustling Christmas dinners, to Thanksgiving, to ‘just because’, flowers have always brightened our lives.
Claire is the owner of Armstrong Flower & Gift Shop, a beloved North Okanagan florist with more than 45 years of history serving the community. She’s grown the business to include a second storefront in Enderby. Her natural ability to create magic with flowers is what brings unique flair and beauty to every Coddiwomple bouquet design.
Keryn’s own journey with flowers started long before Coddiwomple. Her grandfather grew thousands of dahlias as an award-winning grower in East London, South Africa, during the 1940s — not for business, simply for the love of it.
He found his happiest moments among his flowers, and passed on that quiet passion to his granddaughter. That love travelled with her family across the world to beautiful Canada and is a key ingredient in every Coddiwomple bouquet.
