About Us

In many ways, a flower farmer is what I was always going to be. My roots are in Southern Ohio, where you’ll find farms around just about every bend in the road. I grew up raising beef cattle, and most of the kids I knew from my quiet little Appalachian community were part of family farms as well, taking livestock to show at the 4-H Junior Fair, or selling vegetables from a roadside stand. This is where I learned the patience of waiting all spring and summer to see the beauty of a sunflower, to experience the taste of a perfectly ripe tomato. 

I studied Landscape Horticulture at The Ohio State University. As a student, I had the opportunity to do a study abroad in England, where the astounding beauty of flowers in the landscape had a real impact on me. I decided to share that experience by starting a flower farm in my urban backyard with the hope of bringing the natural beauty and sense of wonder to as many people as I could. I hope the bouquets and vases sold here bring as much joy to everyone who buys one as they do for me to grow.

My mother was a farmer’s wife and a teacher. Her name was Martha Jane. I named this business in her memory because it was also with her help that I fell in love with lavender, gladiola, hydrangea, and all the other flowers growing at the edge of the driveway, beside the garage, and hanging in baskets on the porch.

My name is Evelyn, and I am so very excited for the opportunity to share the joy of flowers with all of you.
