In 2021, I turned my flower dreams into a reality, opening Root to Happiness, a small cut flower business. The first couple of seasons proved to be challenging, as my flowers had multiple homes. Every day, I travelled around the city of Worcester to different garden beds, for a total of 1,800 square feet. I was determined, and I always have been when it comes to plants. Whether it was container gardening on my apartment balcony, or finding willing neighbors to lend their land, I've found a way!

 

But I have turned the page, and I'm thrilled to now own a little slice of beautiful New Hampshire, where my blooms are just out my back door. 

​

My happiness has always been rooted in growing things. It started with vegetables, then herbs, and now of course I am addicted to flowers. From seed to bouquet, there is a lot of hard work in between, and I have found it to be the most fulfilling and enjoyable hard work. Flower farming is my ROOT to happiness and I'm happy to be sharing it with you all. ​ 

 

So why flowers? Flowers help us slow down, take a breath, and enjoy the simple beauties that are all around us. To me they represent kind thoughts, uplifting feelings, and beautiful reminders. This world needs more of that.
