The Toronto community is mourning the loss of Jennifer Brennan, a beloved entrepreneur, friend, and inspiration to many. Jen passed away shortly before the 20th anniversary of Oleander Floral Design, the business she founded and nurtured with passion and creativity.
Jennifer’s impact extended far beyond her work in floral design. She was known for her kindness, generosity, and deep love for those around her. Her dedication to her craft and her community made Oleander a cherished institution, and her vision will continue to thrive under the care of the team she built.
Friends, family, and colleagues have shared heartfelt tributes, remembering Jen’s warmth and unwavering spirit. “Sending our love, condolences & prayers to Jen’s husband, her beloved family, her dear friends & her work family,” wrote Shannon Murphy-Steacy.
In honor of Jennifer’s legacy, Oleander Floral Design is dedicating proceeds from the sale of her favorite local double tulips to the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation from March 27th-29th. This gesture reflects her love for flowers and her desire to give back.
Jennifer’s absence leaves a profound void, but her influence and artistry will live on through the beautiful arrangements she created and the many lives she touched.
