Farmer-Florist

My earliest encounter with flowers began at my Grandmother's home in Fullerton, California. I remember walking around back with a pair of scissors and cutting fragrant roses for my teachers as gifts in Elementary School. I remember watching her delicately prepare the flowers for transportation by wrapping them in wet paper towels and then covering them with a wrap of foil. 

Fast forward 25 years, flowers still get to me.  Since then, I have enjoyed landscape design, and growing various plants and trees. We have been blessed beyond measure (including the greatest two treasures: named Sadie and Brooke) and bought White Oak Farm in 2017.  I had always wanted a cut flower garden and now had the space and a small sliver of time to do it. The abundance was astonishing. So much so, that I was able to share the beauty with family and friends.  I have learned that flowers are powerful, evoking emotions, senses, and even memories. We lace them into all our experiences from the celebration of life to the celebration of death.  I was hooked.  The joy and satisfaction of handing over a bouquet of fragrant beautiful flowers never gets old after all these years.  I continued plotting by what means I could grow more and more beauty until McGaffey Flowers was born. There is something inside of me that longs to create something magical and beautiful with design.  I hope we can share the magic of McGaffey Flowers with you soon!
