Read Our Story
Flowers are transformative – we all know how a simple bouquet can instantly brighten someone’s day.
Growing flowers not only brightened my day – they created a life-long passion. I have always grown vegetables for personal use and in a past life as a restaurant owner, I had a small patch of flowers on the side to bring into the house. I noticed how happy growing flowers made me and how positively people reacted to them. I decided then and there that working the earth and growing beautiful specialty blooms would be my mission.
So, I invite you to come along on this crazy adventure. Discover how this ‘gentleman farmer’ got his hands dirty, turned a hobby into a business, and discovered a whole new mindset. Maybe it will give you some ideas on how you can shake things up in your own life.
