I’m happiest when I’m working with flowers and bringing magic to your gardens. I’m a florist, garden designer, advanced master gardener, and flower farmer, growing right in my backyard in Weston, CT. I have a skilled crew who work with me, and we offer design, installation, and garden management services. I also offer flower bouquet delivery year round, locally grown flower subscriptions in the Spring and Fall, flowers for small events, and I stock a seasonal flower stand with my backyard blooms, servicing Weston, Westport, Fairfield, Easton, Wilton and Norwalk, Connecticut. Everything Nomadica offers is based the belief that discovery and joy should be part of your everyday life. I strive to offer magical moments and connection to the world around us. I’m inspired by business models that prioritize doing good above focusing on the bottom line, and work hard to pay my team a fair wage, offer superior services and products to my clients, and give back to organizations working for conservation. It varies year to year, but Nomadica consistently donates to the Anne Kent Taylor Fund in Kenya. You can read more about their work here. As of January, 2024, we’ve given over $6500 to support conservation and scholarship opportunities for underserved communities. Floristry:
Designing with fresh cut flowers is one of my favorite things to do. During the growing season, almost all of my blooms come from my back yard where I grow with organic methods and no harsh chemicals. These are the best, flowers you can get. They last longer and have a smaller environmental footprint. During the winter months, I grow tulips in a greenhouse and in my basement. I love unique, wild, and unexpected designs within the garden style. I can help you with bouquets, small events, and weddings. Come shop the flower stand at 64 Steep Hill Road, Weston CT April-October. For the best value, and a beautiful bouquet of local blooms delivered monthly, sign up for a flower subscription. Garden Designs, Management and Consultations:
My garden designs are inspired by secret gardens, and creating biodiverse spaces that invite you to explore. I believe your yard is an extension of your home, and should have spaces and moments that ground and inspire you. I work primarily with natives and pollinator friendly plants, with all of my installations targeting a 70% native plant mix in order to best support biodiversity and balance. If you are interested in working together, you can register for a consultation, here. How I got here:
I have a background in event planning at the residence of the British Ambassador to the US in Washington, DC, an MBA from George Washington University, and several years of experience in brand management for Johnson & Johnson Consumer and Alterna Haircare. When my mother died in a car crash in 2018, I immersed myself in our shared love of gardening, doing everything she had done before me. I became an Advanced Master Gardener through UConn, joined the garden club and became president, joined the pollinator pathway steering committee, and volunteered in gardens all over. I created a book of my mother’s garden photos and her monthly chore list for the family, ending it with “I’ll look for you in the flowers.” Not realizing it at the time, I would quite literally do that. Nomadica was originally created and launched two weeks before my mom died as a website that sold goods made by women from all over the world. I struggled with it for the year after she passed, working too hard for each sale I made. Meanwhile, I was learning about gardens and plants, some would call it obsessively. I took the Floret class, NYBG classes, Tulip Workshop class, and anything else I could find online, watching at night while my family slept. I created a magical home garden for my family on a busy corner in Weston, and people started asking me for help in their gardens. Initially, I declined, noting that I was busy with a struggling start-up. Finally, after receiving another note left by a kind person in my mailbox and with Ozvaldo, now my crew lead, willing to leave his other job to work with me, I realized I could do what I loved each day for work. I pivoted quickly, sold the inventory, and the new version of Nomadica was born. I kept the name Nomadica because the meaning of it is based on my approach to living. I am driven by curiosity and fueled by learning. The allure of being a nomad, meaning to travel frequently, reminds me of adventure and learning new things. I don’t believe that traveling is the only way to experience that feeling. It can happen in your everyday life, if you are curious enough. I wanted to give that feeling and approach to living a name. When you are in a state of Nomadica, you are curious about the world around you, and that’s when the real magic starts. Happy Gardening,
