Build Your Bloom: A Journey of Growth and Giving
Build Your Bloom started with a simple act of giving. I began growing flowers to donate to a local nonprofit, where they created bouquets to sell and purchase Bibles for a rehab program. When the nonprofit closed, I didn’t stop—I shifted. Today, I give away 200 bouquets for free each season as “Jars of Joy” throughout my community.
For me, this isn’t just about growing—it’s about giving. Giving healthy food. Giving joy. And sharing my love for gardening in a way that brings people back to what really matters.
I started and fell in love with gardening in 2023 and recently authored TEND: The Superpower of Gardening as Self-Care, an Amazon bestseller. What started as a personal outlet has now grown into something I get to share.
This season at the farmers’ market, you’ll find me offering organic produce, jams, jellies, and fresh bouquets—grown with intention and care. My motto is simple: Eat what you grow—and give what you can.
Stop by, say hello, and pick up something beautiful. 💐
