About So many flowers

Hi! I’m Briana, the face behind So Many Flowers. After a few years gaining horticultural skills through working at gardens in the Caribbean, northern Virginia, Israel, and Wisconsin, I decided to use my talents to start a cut flower business. My inspiration and love for plants comes from many places, including working in the English cottage style gardens of Bunny Mellon, learning about Caribbean ethnobotanical uses of plants during my masters research, and working in my parents backyard gardens growing up in Wisconsin.

Originally a small flower farm, So Many Flowers has grown to be so much more! I still grow dozens of varieties of flowers in my urban yard, but these days most of them get pressed or dried for art and home decor. Fresh flowers will always be an integral part of my business, but the creativity of designing with preserved flowers and using different art forms like stained glass is very fulfilling. I love traveling to art shows, working with clients on flower preservation, and seeing my work on shelves in my favorite gift shops. When not working I like hanging out with my tuxedo cats, Allie and Wally, trying new sandwiches, and going to the beach.
