I tell people who ask me what I do for a living, “I do all things property”…think real estate; mortgage; construction; legal, while holding licenses for each of those industries. But my sister moved away last year and we wound down the construction aspect of our businesses which left me looking for something more to do. I found myself gravitating towards flowers and once I started saving and collecting my own seeds, I was hooked. It was all but decided when pastel colored zinnias, ombre colored dahlias, fluffy peonies and heirloom mums started popping up my feed.

          I’ve been working to transform our rear field with grading, cover crops, a hundred peony roots, bulbs, hybrid garden roses, dahlias, and thousands of seeds that are sprouting in my potting shed.
