 In April 2020 Monica Cardoza a freelance writer for NJ Monthly, wrote an article on the flower farm’s weekly club membership. I am always honored and humbled that the farm is so well received. The article was beautifully written and list other NJ flower farmer friends that offer the same seasonal services. Laura Moss a freelance photographer captured this photo in August of 2019.

This past season I rebranded with a new logo design created by Lisa Purcell the creator and owner of Art Paper Scissors design. Lisa is multi talented and her custom invitations and announcements are truly stunning and personal. Lisa was gracious and kind to ask if a blog could be written about my farm and The Beauty of Flower Farming as written by Meghan Coppinger was created.

In July, 2017 Susan Bloom, a freelance writer for the Asbury Park Press was kind enough to interview me about finding my passion, in addition, Doug Hood took some sweet photos of the farm.  As I continue on this path I am thankful every day for my not only being afforded the opportunity to follow my dream, but for so many new and wonderful people that I have met along the way.

Some very kind words…

I cannot express how much I love Dana and how incredibly amazing she was during the planning process. I first met Dana at her house for a consultation, sharing my vision, etc. I was there for over an hour and we went through so many things. It worked out well, because when the pandemic struck, we were in great shape. We had a micro wedding this last November, Dana helped us make the right call on what to use for centerpieces, etc. We are using her for November 2021 and we are so thrilled to work with her again.

Adrianna & Richie

Dana was by far our favorite wedding vendor. Our very first phone call, and then our first meeting with her, we felt such great vibes and energy – she really understood our vision and wanted to make sure everything was extremely personalized for us. She made our vision come to life and I was overwhelmed with how stunningly beautiful and personalized all her touches were. All day I received DOZENS of compliments on my bouquet, the arrangements and details everywhere, and the centerpieces – everyone kept saying that they had never seen such unique and gorgeous flowers anywhere. Through multiple changed dates, multiple changes venues….I just can’t say enough great things about Dana.

Natalie & Greg

I can not say enough good things about Dana! Not only is everything she does absolutely beautiful, but she is a dream to work with. She will take your vision and make it come to life in flowers. I went back and forth about what I wanted a couple times but she was with me every step of the way and I knew that would create something that reflected my unique style and personality. She truly cares about making your wedding perfect and it really shows.

Dana made my wedding magical. I spent more time with Dana than any other vendor while I was planning my wedding. We sat together in her kitchen for hours, talking about flowers and colors and the "vibe" I was trying to achieve. She gave inspired recommendations with colors and textures, and despite the fact that we worked together so closely over the past year, I still walked into the venue that day completely surprised and delighted by her work. You can tell she loves what she does. Our guests are still raving about the gorgeous arbor, and the colors she was able to bring out.

Jen & Dan

The flowers turned out to be one of my favorite parts of our wedding and that is 100% because of Dana, she is the best! Couldn't Be Anymore Perfect! My husband and I were planning our wedding in Avon, NJ from Boston, MA and wanted someone we could trust to take our ideas and make them into something beautiful without having to go over every tiny detail. Dana did that and more! She understood everything we wanted and created bouquets, centerpieces, and an arbor that made the day! She delivered the flowers, set everything up, and organized the tables. I knew they were in great hands! Dana is an extremely skilled florist and wonderfully sweet person.

Caitlin & Gary

Dana is the owner/farmer/florist/designer who is a ton of fun to work with. She's exceptionally kind and organized and you can be sure your wedding flowers are in excellent hands. If I learned one thing through wedding planning, it's that having vendors who you know you can count on and who will take the stress off your shoulders, is priceless.

Sarah & Vito

Dana was knowledgeable and helpful in planning our wedding flowers. From teaching about varieties she has growing in her beautiful garden, to explaining her brilliant visions of floral arrangements. Matching colors and textures, and explaining the natural beauty of flowers and how they compliment each other. Something that could have brought so much stress into our planning was made one of the simplest activities with phenomenal results.

Meghan & Ryan

Dana was by far my favorite & most flexible wedding vendor. I'm an Art Teacher and had LOTS of creative ideas for how I wanted my centerpieces to be arranged. Dana worked with me to include all of my DIY ideas from handmade ceramic succulent pots to creating arrangements in square-shaped jars that I collected for over a year before our wedding. Do yourself a favor and book Dana as your florist. She cares so deeply about what she does, and your satisfaction is her #1 priority!

Nicole & Bill

Working with Dana was phenomenal! She was great with helping us navigate our options, which was SO important for us as we didn’t have a clear vision of exactly what we wanted. We received so many compliments from our guests on the flowers - Dana did such a beautiful job designing unique bouquets and centerpieces that matched the style and feel of the wedding. In addition, she created a gorgeous floral comb and decorated our chuppah. We also loved visiting the farm and seeing everything Dana grows! We can’t recommend Dana enough - both the experience and the end results were amazing!

Lindsay & Jake

Dana is the absolute best. We recently used Dana for our March 2017 wedding in Ocean Grove, NJ and could not be more thrilled with her work. It was so much fun working and planning with her. She is so creative and attentive to detail and she absolutely listened to everything I wanted and more than delivered. The service is so personal and exceptional. If you are looking to work with someone who can really tailor to your needs and work to create your vision look no further.
