I moved many times as a child. My parents' love of gardening brought gardens with us wherever we lived, even to Alaska! We had mostly vegetable gardens, but they instilled a love in me for things that grow.

 

My creative personality led me to pursue growing primarily flowers. They are works of art in and of themselves, but there is something so satisfying about weaving together the different colors and textures. 

​

I started my flower journey sharing many bouquets with neighbors, family and friends. This is one way that I've been able to share God's love with people--to reach out to people who are hurting, remind them that they are important and loved, and leave behind flowers as a reminder of those things.

 

The joy that it brought both me and others led me to want to do more. I decided to build a flower stand and sell flowers grown right at my home in Burnsville, Minnesota.

 

My flower stand is a place where joy from flowers can spread beyond my own reach further into my community. I encourage customers to not just buy flowers for themselves, but to share with someone who needs a smile. I have a card writing station at my flower stand and love to see customers staying to write thoughtful words that will touch someone's heart. 

​

I also express my creativity through jewelry making. Most of the flowers I use are grown right at my home in Burnsville, adding a little extra love in each piece. No two pieces are exactly the same. Some flowers allow me to create a similar look, but every piece is a unique, handcrafted work of art.
