Hi, I’m Nicole, your friendly Lowell Flower Lady. I’m the one you see out in the field, planting the seeds, pulling the weeds, harvesting and arranging the flowers here at Buddy & Bean.

I’ve always loved flowers, and when we moved to the farm in 2015 I began working toward my secret dream of becoming a flower farmer. We worked for a few years to establish our garden and build up the soil health naturally, growing mostly veggies … but every year my flower patch would grow larger and larger.

Now it’s not accurate to call it a garden any more — we have about an acre of flowers in production and more on the way.

Flowers take up so much of my life — from researching best farming practices and working on building our soil health, to starting seeds in the dead of winter and then of course spending all summer and fall harvesting these beauties — and sometimes I really have to pinch myself.

I may be the main Flower Lady, but I certainly don’t do it alone. The whole family helps out here — and even more than that, they tolerate seed starting supplies and flowers covering the house.

Thank you for supporting locally grown flowers!
