How Have Flowers Helped You? Our Community Answers

I recently asked The Flower Remedy community members about the power that flowers have had on their lives.

Here are some of their answers:

Whitney Finley from Two Blooms Farm said “my mom had a love for flowers, and now that she has passed, flowers are a way for me to stay connected to her while connecting with my daughters.” Whitney’s 3 year old answered the question as well by saying “flowers mean I love you!” Too cute!

Meanwhile, Anni talked about how growing flowers are nutrition for the soul.

“Some people think I should be growing fruits and vegetables for my family to eat. The native wildflowers I’m growing are nutrition for their hearts and souls. The fact that many (most?) of them are also edible and/or medicinal is just a bonus! Not too many people burst into big smiles when you hand them a zucchini. But try not to smile even a little bit if someone hands you a big bunch of flowers!” - Anni Welborne, Mariposa Meadow

William, age 2, from the Walker Family Farm said that he’s a “good farm boy to help water the garden" and also replied saying, "We pick our harvest to share." So great to start them young!

A few other notable responses include:

"They have given my life renewed purpose after my kids left home. Therapy for grief too!" She added, “my therapy for grief came after the death of my mother. She loves flowers, so I created this business in her memory/honor.” - DeAnne Benedict, Flowers to Bless/McClendon Meadows Farm

"They've helped with my depression immensely." - Annelise DuBois, ChezWhatever Flowers

"When my husband was sick, my flower garden was my saving grace. It truly saved me" - Elissa C, The Garden Witch

"They bring me sunshine on a hard day and remind me tomorrow is a new day." - Angie Hodge
