Our Story

Flowers heal. A professional creative of many years, Owner and Creative Director Emily Yates started experimenting with flowers as a way to recover from creative burnout. She fell in love with flowering as a method for healing, expression, and play, and has been bringing the joy of flowers to the Bay ever since.
