Flower gardening began as a light-hearted postpartum hobby during the early days of Covid. It’s even more enjoyable now that my two little ones are old enough to help plant seeds and eagerly race out to the garden each morning to check for any new growth.

In the spring of 2022, after we expanded our backyard’s cut flower area and planted thousands of seedlings and perennials, it became evident that I’d have more blooms than my family would ever personally want or need.

The prospect of sharing bouquets and arrangements with loved ones and the community excited me, so I spent a lot of time educating myself about the cut flower industry. It was upsetting to learn about the harmful practices that are so widely used by international commercial flower growers (more on that here) but it also inspired me to create new ways to grow beautiful plants that are better for our environment and our health.

Since then, we’ve grown - literally and figuratively! - to operating multiple large gardens throughout Montgomery County, expanding to a team of seven, and providing dozens of wedding and special event clients with our flowers. Custom-growing flowers for our bridal clients is the very heart of what we do, and I truly believe I have the very best job in the world.

Outside of flowering, I was previously a mental health doc but took a break from the healthcare field to focus on raising my two children. You’ll often find us at one of the areas many parks or playgrounds, or running around in the gardens!
