ABOUT

I grow flowers in sunny Arizona. My midwestern roots have led me to have a deeper love for flowers and the seasonality behind them.

MY MISSION:

To cultivate a sense of seasonality in the desert that is brought to people through the plants and foliage around them.

MY PLANT ADVENTURES STORY

Hi! My name is John, and I have an adventurous passion for flowers.

I started my Hortucultre Jorney in my hometown just north of Detroit, Michigan. I started gardening with my mom, planting a vegetable garden. I quickly learned that it was something that I enjoyed doing, and I could see myself doing it as a career.

I quickly joined a garden club at the age of 14. I got my first job as soon as I could at a local greenhouse just before my 16th birthday. I worked there for 3 years in High School selling nursery plants and Christmas trees.

During that time I experimented with growing different flowers, vegetables, and tropical plants. Every neighbor was asking about my 8’ banana tree in front of my house lol. 

I knew that I wanted to live somewhere warmer, with year-round gardening potential.

In 2015 I had my eye on Arizona state university and didn't look back. During my time at ASU, I had three amazing internships.

  1. Desert botanical garden

  2. Disney world Horticulture

  3. Brightview landscape development.

These internships were all so different and brought to light what I love and horticulture. Sustainability, color, and abundance. 

I graduated from ASU in 2020 and wanted a way that I could work for myself, while also pursuing my passion for flowers. I started to experiment with growing different cut flowers and haven't looked back.

I am constantly testing out new flowers to grow here in the Valley.

There are SO many flowers that we can grow here and I'm so excited about the Adventure that I'm on to bring these flowers into your homes.

Thanks for being a part of my flower journey, because i can't wait to be a part of yours!
