Hi, I'm Mary
The idea for the Potted Blossom started when I was in college. I visited Thanksgiving Point in Utah for the first time and fell in love with the idea of such beautiful gardens for people to visit and enjoy. I had this vision of providing for my community a place where people could come and learn about gardening and cut flowers. I wanted to provide opportunities for others to have hands on experience in the horticulture field that wasn't landscaping or strictly greenhouse work. I didn't have the means to pursue it so I set it in the back of my mind and continued on with life.
After getting married and getting my husband through college, we sat down together to see what we could do with my ideas. By this time my idea had evolved into a slightly different plan to include growing cut flowers, designing bouquets and hands on workshops to help people expand their knowledge of gardening.
Thus the plan to create an educational flower farm was born. Each season we offer a monthly class featuring some aspect of our field or flowers. In the Summer months we offer classes for kids to attend with their parents. Currently we are working on creating a series of classes for homeschooling groups.
