Let Opaline Paint Your Property
Opaline Floral, Gardening & Landscape Design services embrace all of my holistic, native, intuitve and regenerative gardening landscape sensabilities. My business resides on and services Block Island, Rhode Island. Original Manissean land, and we tend this land in right relationship and with acknowledgement of the original stewards of this sacred place.
As owner, I obtained my Master Gardener Certification from the University of Rhode Island (URI) Cooperative Extension office in 2021 and my Department of Environmental Invasive Plant Management Certification from URI & the RI Department of Environmental Management in 2023.
Having designed and installed over 30 flourishing gardens on island, I take pride in not only cultivating vibrant native regenerative landscapes but also in restoring ecological balance. From managing invasive brambles to revitalizing existing gardens, my approach is rooted in reciprocity, biodiversity, and deep, intentional care—ensuring that every layer of the design and installation process nurtures both the land and those who tend it.
I always pull from a deep well of intuitive attunement to your property, and plant spirit wisdom to channel the plants and designs that are keen for each particular site.
Allowing nature to be the greatest artist, as our team gently guides the “paintbrush.”
Let Opaline Curate Your Exquisite Floral Frequency
Opaline Organix Design Studio brings the living beauty of the island into life’s most sacred gatherings. Rooted on the Isle of Manisses also known as Block Island, Rhode Island, and designing for venues throughout New England, Taryn creates florals for weddings, festivals, retreats, and special events, each one rising from the same soil she tends daily and gathered from her own gardens and from local growers who share her reverence for the land.
Each arrangement begins as an offering, long before the day itself, with seeds sown in early spring and stems gathered at the height of their season, then carried from field to altar, stage, and table with intention and care. Her designs hold an intuitive, garden-born artistry, with luminous forms that feel as though they were called in from a coastal meadow to bear witness to whatever brings people together, whether vows exchanged, a community in celebration, or a circle gathered for renewal.
Taryn works closely with each couple, host, and organizer to understand the spirit of their occasion, then translates it into color, texture, and essence. From ceremony arches and bridal bouquets to festival installations, retreat altars, tablescapes, and the tender details in between, each piece is shaped to honor the place, the season, and the people gathered in devotion.
In this way, the flowers become keepers of the moment, memorialized in photographs, in pressed petals tucked between the pages of a cherished book, and in the way a single bloom can carry you back, year after year, to a day when something meaningful was celebrated and remembered.
