design philosophy

Endlessly inspired by the garden, our designs embody the beauty we nurture inside our garden gate—with each arrangement and bouquet’s ingredients unique to that moment in time. Our flower design philosophy is one that celebrates 100% American grown. We always start sourcing with local flower farmers in Southeast Missouri. From there we look to our trusted farms in the Saint Louis area. Lastly, we order from American farms across the country to supplement our designs for larger events.

We are perpetually expanding our perennial collection. We start seeds every winter to grow blooms especially for our wedding work. Every spring, our en masse tulips supply us with weeks of incredible color.

We strive for sustainability in many of our business practices:

• We support local artisans and source secondhand whenever we can.

• We work with reusable mechanics like flower frogs, chicken wire and disguised water sources (aka no harmful flower foam).

• We embrace natural beauty and do not alter plant material with bleach, dye or paint.

• We compost our flower scraps on our property instead of sending them to a landfill.
