Our Roots
I’ve always had a deep love for flowers. It’s a passion that began in my childhood in Webster Groves, Missouri. Inspired by my mother’s beautiful garden, I’ve always found joy in bringing fresh-cut flowers into my home, especially those like peonies, lilacs, and garden roses. My mom's garden was always as beautiful as she is. My love of flowers grew in my adult years. I always wanted a pretty garden filled with gorgeous flowers that I could cut and bring into the house. There is nothing I love more than fresh flowers with a beautiful fragrance.
Because of my passion, I followed several people and companies on Instagram that featured beautiful flowers. One particular flower farmer inspired me to take her course on how to start my own flower farm. With the support of my husband, Bill, I decided to jump in. Bill grew up on a farm, and we committed to learn all that we could to make this dream come true.
Betty
As fate would have it, I met Betty while I was taking the flower farming course. Betty is a 1961 Volkswagen Transporter. I have always loved the idea of a flower stand, particularly like the ones you see in New York City or on the streets of Italy. I’ve always loved the vintage Ford pickup trucks I’ve seen photographed at Christmas time with Christmas trees in the back. I was struck with the idea to sell my flowers from the back of a truck…a mobile flower business! Betty is a special part of what we do.
Flowers make me happy. They are the gift I want to share with others.
On to Main Street
We opened the shop on Main Street in downtown Parkville, MO. With Bill’s woodworking skills and my background in marketing, we transformed the space into the shop you see today. In addition to our flowers, we now offer a wide variety of items in our gift shop. Our customers love unique items for themselves and loved ones…including our very popular chocolates.
Our shop is a reflection of our love for flowers and our commitment to creating a welcoming, beautiful space for the community. We take pride in what we do and invite you to come see what we are all about.
