Meet the farmer behind the flowers

Need more magic in your life? Want that unicorn dahlia that you just can’t seem to find? Or do you want to plant that iris and let it do its thing without the hassle some other flowers require? Fear not, I got you!

Hi! My name is Abby and I’m so glad you are here! I am an oncology nurse of eleven years, and a flower farmer as of early 2025. My journey in the garden started during a dark period in our collective history (covid). Life was incredibly difficult with two young kids at home, one in second grade, and the other only nine months old. My depression deepened and as a last resort, I started growing flowers. It was the irises that got me initially, followed by wildflowers and then the dahlias. Witnessing the incredible beauty they brought to my world gave me hope and purpose and paved the way for my future as a flower farmer. Before we became official, we lovingly called our farm Sleeping Bees, and then life took a turn and I moved to a new space that would become the place where Monarch Dreams began. Having grown up in the Midwest, I loved being surrounded by Monarchs and would bring that love to the west coast in hopes of witnessing their magic out here. Despite the hope, I have yet to witness a Monarch butterfly in eleven years of living in the PNW. That isn’t stopping me however; I know they are here as I’ve witnessed Monarch cats in my own patch of milkweed. Wouldn’t you know though, my entire family has seen the incredible winged creatures in our yard except me. I like to think they are teasing me and will eventually reveal themselves!

It is my sincere hope that these flowers spark joy and give life to all those lucky enough to witness to their beauty. If you are seeking more beauty, more joy, and more aliveness, you are in the right place! Stay awhile and browse our tuber and rhizome selection or order a bouquet for yourself or someone you love. We all deserve to feel the magic flowers bring.
