At Verdant, we believe that the best seasonal flowers start with passionate growers who care deeply for the earth and everything it nurtures. We are so grateful to  partner with local flower farmer Ariel of Nurturing with Nature Farm—a woman whose love for flowers is rooted in sustainability, care, and connection to the land.

Ariel’s journey into flower farming began with a simple truth: she fell in love with working outdoors and watching plants come to life. That passion blossomed into Nurturing with Nature, a farm dedicated to growing fresh, chemical-free flowers for florists, chefs, cafes, and creatives who value quality and integrity.

“For me, it’s about working with the earth, not against it,” Ariel says. “I’m always learning how to better support the plants I grow—and to respect the pollinators who help them thrive.”

Ariel uses only pollinator-safe products, ensuring her farm is not just a haven for flowers, but a sanctuary for bees, butterflies, and all the creatures that keep our ecosystems healthy. Ask her about her butterfly breeding!

In addition to cut flowers for stores like ours, Ariel also creates edible flower packages that are perfect for chefs, bakers, mixologists, and anyone who wants to add a little floral flair to their dishes and drinks. Whether it's a vibrant garnish on a cocktail or a sprinkle of petals on a cake, her blooms are as delicious as they are beautiful.
