Hi, I'm Mary,

nature lover, book dragon, ice cream conasurer, mother, wife and flower farmer. 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 a paid internship that would give them 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 they had evolved into a slightly different plan to include growing cut flowers and designing bouquets. We came up with a plan that would fit in with the needs of our children and family to make my dreams become a reality. 

Part of that plan is to provide a space for our local community to escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy a few moments of peace. Currently we are working to expand our grow space to be wheelchair friendly and hope to be able to provide workshops, fundraisers and a gathering place for people to connect with nature in upcoming growing seasons.
