Growing Hope Blooms began after a summer during the pandemic when my kids and I gave away over 250 bouquets from our yard of flowers. People began asking if they could purchase the flowers from me, but I needed a much bigger supply of seeds and bulbs to do so, and thus the business was born. My love for flowers began when my mama used to have me help her with her flowers when I was little, from lugging five gallon buckets to water plants during the droughts of the 80s to wandering nurseries looking for gems to add to her landscaping. I still love watering plants, and I love seeing others smile when I share flowers with them!
