In 2020, we grew cut flowers in two Evanston yards. The hope was to sell weekly bouquets to our neighbors, with all proceeds going to Connections for the Homeless. The endeavor was a success and we had a great season. We then expanded to a vacant lot on Gross Point Rd. An abundance of sun and soil remediation has made the lot healthy and productive, and added beauty to a very busy corner. We offer subscriptions, workshops, and event florals. Couples interested in playing a part in the design of their wedding florals can work with us to DIY their special day or even use our lovely studio to create with family and friends.
