The birds carry the melody, bees hum in rhythm, and the breeze lifts the scent of soil and fragrant blooms and fill my lungs with the song of the Earth.
When the sun warms my back and the flowers dance in rhythm to the breeze, I can’t help but feel the Earth is singing.
Wasatch Blooms began out of a desire to connect with my community and the Earth.
There is a love that comes from the soil, that climbs up the stems into the flowers, begging to be seen and appreciated.
I feel this connection and I can only share it as best I know how, through sharing the flowers, through sharing the garden’s song.
I grow flowers to connect, to be sustainable, to support local ecosystems and regenerate the soil.
I grow intensively on an urban lot and mix market gardening with permaculture ethics. I grow beneath the mountains in Paradise, Utah and serve the Salt Lake and surrounding communities.
So when you hold your bouquet and you smell the flowers and the breeze and the bumble bee, breathe them in deeply. Take it into your body and fill your lungs with the song of the Earth.
Land Acknowledgement
Where I live and farm, the Shoshone have thrived. It is my honor and responsibility to acknowledge that the land that I tend to is the ancestral lands of the Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nation. The land I love and tend to, has been a part of a story and a people who have been here for millennia and who continue to grow and thrive here. I acknowledge the resilience of the Shoshone and their continued connection to the land as they have cared for the earth and its inhabitants for as long as the Earth holds their memory.
I am grateful to be a part of this land's story as they are.
