From Hobby to Obsession

Little Petal Flowers began as a hobby that soon manifested into something much bigger. Over the last 9 years I have been a full time veterinarian thoroughly immersed in medicine and the care of my patients. Gardening was a means of transporting myself to a place of calm and serenity. I soon found that I would escape to the garden at every possible opportunity, and that I was most happy when surrounded by plants and flowers. I would make bouquets or arrangements using flowers I had cut from my garden, and keep them around the house or give them to friends and coworkers. It became clear that I had found another passion in my life in this world of flowers.
 

The more I learn about the process of growing and farming flowers, and the immense benefit it provides our ecosystem, the more fascinated I’ve become. The philosophy behind everything grown here is to promote a regenerative, sustainable environment without the use of chemical pesticides or single-use plastics. This approach provides a sustainable habitat for a biodiverse group of both predatory and beneficial creatures including pollinators and native wildlife.

From beautiful bouquets to straight bunches, it brings me so much joy to see the wave of happiness and excitement wash over someone’s face when given a bouquet. My father has always called me his “Little Petal” as an endearing nickname ever since I was an infant. With my petite stature of 5'0" as a grown adult, his original assessment was correct in both referring to me as "little" and a "flower petal". It seems that working with flowers was destined for me as he now claims to have "prophesied".
