Our Story

One farm. Three generations

Folls Flowers evolved from choices that led us to find this special place that has become, and is still becoming, a true family farm; born from the necessity to have a safe and sacred space for multiple generations and our beloved animals, our horses, dogs, cats, ducks, chickens and fish.  We cherish this land and strive to improve the soil and wildlife habitat, providing food for birds and bees, as well as multiple insect and animal species.  Flowers abound in rows and fields as bulbs, annuals, perennials, shrubs, flowering trees and wild flowers.  Stiving to harmonize with the energy of consciousness that abounds here.

 

Folls Flowers celebrated 20 years in business in 2020, and we are excited for the next twenty.  We specialize in sustainably cultivated seasonal flowers for all of your floral design occasions with a focus on weddings and special events.  Our love for the planet and environment has driven our passion to grow premium flowers without the use of toxic fertilizers and pesticides.  Our horses, ducks and chickens provide our fertilizer and the koi pond replenishes our gardens on the dry days of summer.  We use only organic approved pesticides & fungicides to keep the blooms perfectly beautiful. 

There is much we can learn from a friend who happens to be a horse.
