Our story…

“Blooms by Joella” (named after our children, Jo and Ella) hopes to bring a little extra happiness to our community…one “bloom” at a time.                                                                                                     For as long as I can remember, I have loved flowers. One of my first childhood memories is chasing my brother through a field of Daffodils (Daffodil Hill in the Sierra Nevada Mountains). Flowers have always brought me so much joy and added beauty to my life. They can turn a “blue day into a new day," with one glance or just one smell. I think that most people have at least one flower that makes them feel very nostalgic.                                                    Covid and turning 50 have reminded me that we only have a short time here and that we should spend as much of our time as we can doing something that we love. So I’ve finally taken the leap and have decided to turn a hobby into something bigger. I began the Floret Flowers online workshop in January of 2023 and have learned so much. I still have a ton to learn, but with the support of my family and friends, I have begun growing cut flowers on a smaller scale, but a large enough scale to sell and donate to our local community and businesses.

Mostly, I hope to bring a little extra happiness to as many people as I can and to try to help our local wildlife thrive.
