What is more enchanting than the beauty of blooms you’ve grown yourself?!
My own journey into growing, arranging and selling cut flowers, not surprisingly, began in the garden. I was so enthralled by the sunflowers, cosmos and zinnias I had started from seed that I was hard-pressed to leave the yard! So, after 30 years as a classroom teacher and school administrator, I decided to get serious about flower farming.
I took courses from Floret Farm, the Santa Fe County Master Gardeners, the Flower Farm Business Academy, The Inspired Garden and the Gardeners Workshop and read everything I could find about flower farming.
Soon, I had grown so many flowers that I wanted to share them. That's when I started Petal Pushers Santa Fe.
Now it's a few years later, and Petal Pushers Santa Fe offers fresh-cut, garden flowers to local floral designers and creative people like you who enhance their lives with natural beauty. It’s thrilling!
The next step is to help others learn what I’ve learned about growing and arranging flowers and to begin their own flower journey. You, too, can experience the joy of your own breathtaking blooms whether you have a couple of pots on an apartment balcony or five acres of scrub to work with.
As a garden consultant, I work with you to create a garden that enhances your living space with beauty, whether as a tranquil place to rejuvenate or to share with friends and family.
Let's get started! And thank you for inviting me into your garden.
