About The Flower Remedy

When COVID hit in 2020, my anxiety sky-rocketed. All sense of normalcy was gone. I couldn’t stop doom scrolling and reading latest news updates, I missed my friends and family, and I needed something else to focus on. I didn’t know it at the time, but the two small garden boxes in my yard would become my new best friends and ease my anxiety.

After working in the garden for a few weeks, I found that growing plants gave me something positive to focus on, allowed me to use my creativity, and kept me in the moment more than any activity I had tried thus far (and believe me, I’d tried a lot).

I started out with fruits and veggies and 3 dahlia tubers. After the first dahlia blossomed, I knew I was hooked on growing flowers. Not only did I love the process of growing flowers from seed, but I also enjoyed giving the flowers away to those who were going through a hard time. One of the first bouquets I gave away from my garden was to a neighbor whose son had recently passed away. We’d never met previously, but ended up having a deep, beautiful conversation when I delivered those flowers that led to her showing me where she had planted a garden in his honor.

I realized then that flowers have magnificent magic in them that help us heal and connect us with ourselves, others, and Mother Earth.

Now I have my own cut flower garden, am a student of Floriogrophy (the language of flowers), and work with local farms, gardeners and volunteers to provide flowers to the community with the goal of giving away one million flowers.

I invite you to follow along on Instagram to learn more about how flowers can help us improve our mental health and allow us to be more present, joyful, and connected.

Thank you for following along on this journey!
