Our story

A man in a blue shirt and glasses holding a skateboard, standing on a railroad track with trees in the background.

It began with a 3x8 raised bed behind our small duplex. After having a baby, a friend gave me dahlia bulbs and my mom helped plant roses. From there it grew. I fell for old English roses, dahlias, snapdragons, and zinnias. I dove into learning plants’ needs, soil microbiomes, and making my own compost and fertilizers. Sharing flowers kept fueling me. That’s why I grow unusual varieties and share them with others.

Now we built our home on SOME land. With the Lords help my husband and I have cultivated a life we truly never need to escape. Two babies, two dogs, chickens, a barn cat or two, and lots and lots of flowers.
