Sustainable Floral Design Inspired by the Seasons
I am holding a summer arrangement full of fragrant garden roses, dahlias, cosmos, statice, eucalyptus, zinnias, salvia, forget-me-nots, strawflowers, and celosia, all from my garden.
I call my business “Humble Bouquet” because humble means low to the ground or close to the earth. It both describes my passion for growing and sourcing seasonal flowers and my commitment to sustainability. I am inspired by each season and by the flowers and botanicals that can be found in my garden and local community.
I love using delicate and unexpected ingredients from my own garden that you may not have seen used in floral design. If you enjoy vibrant and somewhat wild floral design that intrigues the senses with color, movement, texture, and fragrance, and value a sustainable approach, then I think you will enjoy what I have to offer.
I do everyday deliveries in the greater Bellingham, WA area. I also do weddings and other event florals in Whatcom, Skagit, Island, San Juan, Snohomish, and King Counties.
Some days it is hard to believe that I get to do this beautiful work. Cutting and arranging flowers is the best part, but there is so much more to the process.
I’m a creative florist who grows her own flowers and sources the rest from local flower growers. Every year, 90% of the cut flowers and foliage I use are sourced from my garden or from growers in Northwest Washington. The remaining 10% come from a Seattle-based, farmer-owned co-op that sources mostly from Washington during the main season and from all up and down the West Coast in the off-seasons, so that I can provide fresh flowers that are as local as possible all year long.
I’m a mother of four, an entrepreneur and aspiring philanthropist who believes in the power of beauty to bring joy, hope, dignity, and connection. My city lot overflows with seasonal beauty so that others can extend this gift to loved ones. I grow flowers in my garden so I can use delicate, fragrant, and diverse ingredients in my arrangements and keep the process of growing, designing, and delivering as local and sustainable as possible.
I love working alongside my partner and our four children. They all do their part cutting, smelling, planting, building, and loving the garden and its bounty.
Sharing the joy and beauty of fragrant, vibrant, seasonal flowers is my absolute pleasure.
We give flowers to those we care about because they communicate love like no other tangible gift can, and their fleeting beauty brings so much joy. I carefully source and arrange all my flowers to realize one of my greatest pleasures: seeing the reaction of unsuspecting recipients when they see their flower delivery, or couples’ reactions when they see their florals on their wedding day.

“The word humility derives from the Latin word humilitas, which means ‘of the earth.’ To be humble is to be grounded in knowing who you are. It implies the responsibility to become what you were meant to become - to grow, to reach, to fully bloom as high and strong and grand as you were created to.” - Glennon Doyle, Untamed
