Owner/Grower/Designer
My favorite flowers… are dandelions, because my kids pick them for me! As for non-weeds, I especially love delphinium, garden roses, and pompon dahlias.
Within the flower world, my favorite thing to do is… grow, grow, grow! I love being in the garden, getting my hands dirty, and learning about innovative ways to grow cut flowers - I’m a science nerd through and through. Within floriculture, I’m especially interested in sustainable/organic growing methods, season extension, and hybridization. I also love teaching.
In regards to design, bringing a client’s vision to life by creating romantic tablescapes and garden-inspired installations are the most fulfilling things to me.
My happy place is… in a blooming garden, surrounded by trees and wildlife.
My favorite place I've ever traveled is… probably Lake Tahoe or Versailles.
A secret talent I have… I have an unusual memory for dates (especially birthdays), the weather, and other little details. Curious about what the weather was like three Thursdays ago? I’ve got you covered, lol.
Outside of the flower world, I… am most likely to be found chasing after my toddlers, creating a slightly-above-average recipe in the kitchen, or going for a run on one of Harleysville’s many trails!
My favorite flowers… I have always been a sucker for Zinnias. They are the flower that just keeps on giving, each with their own unique design and pattern. But honestly, I hate to have to choose, If I could say all, I would say all.
Within the flower world, my favorite thing to do is… I love event design (tablescapes, centerpieces, focal points), prior to seeking a career in speech therapy I pursued a career in event/wedding planning and continue to enjoy every aspect of the business, and have worked with many friends on the floral/design aspects of their special day.
A secret talent I have… Not really secret, but acquiring and growing houseplants.
If I could have one superpower, it would be… Hands down, teleportation. I love to travel and to have the ability to do it instantaneously would be the ultimate superpower.
Something on my bucket list is… 80% of my bucket list is Travel related. I would love to get to at least 30 different countries, and all 50 states.
My favorite place I've ever traveled is… Costa Rica. It encapsulates all the things that one would wish for a travel destination. It's a beautiful country, with rich culture and so many surprises.
Outside of the flower world… I am married to my best friend Richard (cliche as it is, it's true) and have two daughters, Magnolia and Eila. I am a speech and language pathologist and love working alongside families to achieve their communication goals. We love spending time outside, cooking together and being with loved ones. I am always down for conversation over a good cup of coffee or a tall glass of wine. I crave any chance to be creative, therefore most of my hobbies are rooted in creating things like macrame, lettering, weaving, crafting, gardening etc.

My favorite flowers… Peonies, all day, every day! Dahlias, Cosmos, Delphinium, Geranium...so many! And now getting into some of the heirloom roses. :)
My happy place is… Lately, a cut flower garden & farmers market. Tis the season!
Within the flower world, my favorite thing to do is… I definitely love the design aspect, whether it's creating something very minimal with movement or a whimsy & abundant arrangement! I'm getting into gardening, too. Still growing in my confidence with that. :)
Something on my bucket list is…Keeping in with the floral theme...I'd love to attend a weekend long intensive floral design workshop in the UK!
My favorite place I've ever traveled is… I must admit, I haven't traveled much, yet. But, I do love Anna Maria Island. It's on the Gulf side in Florida. I've vacationed there several times with my family. It's a special place that holds lots of wonderful memories for us. Makes me think of my dad.
Outside of the flower world, I… enjoy photography as well! I used to photograph weddings, portraits etc. I love shooting 35mm film.

Floral Design
My favorite flowers…. I love working with flowers that add movement and bounce to a bouquet or arrangement. Incorporating flowers like Ranunculus, Agrostemma, Scabiosa or Japanese Anemone allows for vertical interest as well as a light, airy element that I love to build into my floral design work.
Within the flower world, my favorite thing to do is… Provide full-scale event design service. With a background as a Wedding and Event Planner for an international luxury hotel brand, I love to tap into my experience and bring the whole vision to life. I pull inspiration for my floral designs from everywhere: the bride's dress, lighting, textiles and the venue itself. My absolute favorite part of event design is creating tablescapes around which people will be seated and enjoying a meal together.
My happy place is… The Virgin Islands. My husband and I honeymooned there, then lived there and now go back to visit old friends and favorite spots as often as we can.
My zodiac sign is… I'm a Libra through and through! Peace, balance, and symmetry. (Except when it comes to floral design!)
Outside of the flower world, I… am a wife and mom to two toddlers. I love the outdoors, baking from scratch, enjoying a margarita in the garden at sunset with my husband and any good excuse to host a great party!
