Welcome, it’s so nice to meet you! Promise & Blossom
⛅What Are Your Dreams?
Do you believe
🦋it is possible to experience a little magic in our everyday lives?
Sometime ever wondered
🌷what it might feel like to stand in a beautiful field of flowers?
Have you wished for
👒a pretty haven that's not in a hurry & people say "stop, smell the flowers" a dozen times a day?
Do you cherish
🌻sweet memories of grandma's sunflowers, picking quaint wildflowers on the edge of a grove, the perfume from peony bushes all lined up down the lane, or crafting sprite dolls from hollyhock buds?
Can you imagine
🌞a happy place where Mother Nature kisses your cheek with warm sunshine and fanciful butterflies wait to meet you? A carefree setting, where cool dew tickles your knees &
no one says "don't pick the flowers".
We'll never tell you that!

Hi there, I'm Carrie, a lifelong gardener, and a flower farmer in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I have what Tasha Tudor called, "an impulse to garden that I just can't ignore". I grow flowers near Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on our little homestead, and over the past decade or more, I have kept growing and growing more flowers...
My family and I are amazed at all the Blossoms we can grow--just think of the Promise in such little seeds! Well, now we really have too many and they are so very pretty...
We'd love to share them with you!
We want you to know:
The flowers we grow are special.
Experience the slow-flower movement with us and enjoy our grown-not-flown flowers. We plant, raise, and harvest each one by hand with loving care!
(a flower combine just doesn't sound right)
Our fresh flowers have spirit; they are alive.
Promise & Blossom's Iowa-grown, farm-fresh flowers are never stored in hot, dark airplane cargo for days or in far-away, dry warehouses for months. Our field-grown flowers are harvested daily and are never out of water. Field-to-vase flowers stay bright for days! Locally grown, fresh-cut flowers are such a gift of harvest because cutting encourages more flowers to grow!
(imagine if corn did that)
These fresh-cut flowers are unique.
Our sustainably grown, specialty flowers and hand-picked bouquets don't look like the ones sold at grocery stores or chains. Harvesting seasonal flowers at the peak of bloom ensures we can offer an exciting variety that is more cheerful and will last longer in your flower arrangement! You'll love the pretty, light scent of our native, heirloom flowers with delicate blooms and fragrant blossoms. You won't be afraid to nuzzle our fresh bouquets for fear of inhaling pesticides or chemicals-oh no!
(there could be a bee in the petals however)
💕Do you love
flowers as much as we do?
🙌We hope
that you do and
we'd love you to visit
for flowers, family, friendship, and fun!
Inclusivity
People are like flowers, they come in many colors, each one is so unique, and we love them all the same.
Land acknowledgement
We are not the first to have a home on this ground and we sure won't be the last. While here, we try to care for the environment and act with respect for those who were here before us, those who are around us, and those who are yet to come.
