I am a BIPOC woman who has been working in the tech industry for 5 years while growing my knowledge of flower growing on the side. I would like to turn my passion into my day job within the next 2 years, while ensuring that I am setting myself up for true and lasting success. For me this would look like mentorship with a retiring farmer. I’ve become aware that there are many specialty farmers coming into retirement with no one to take over their businesses, and I would love nothing more than to have a specialty rose and lilac nursery. I am not in need of housing at this time, but I would be open to it if the location and cost are right.

I have been backyard gardening with a focus in propagation of shrubs and starting flowers from seed for 5 years. While I do not have a formal degree or job history, I spend nearly all my free time in the garden or researching growing techniques.
I already have a monthly booth secured at a farmers market in Portland for one Sunday a month from May-October. I will be selling plant starts, proportions, and cut flowers. I would like to continue to grow this model, focusing on propagating shrubs that thrive in the PNW (roses, lilacs, hydrangeas, rhododendrons).

As a BIPOC woman I seek to make my plants accessible to all income levels while also ensuring that I can succeed in my own business. This may look like work-trade with community members, mentorship, or just opening up my plot once a week for volunteers to have a safe space to play in the dirt and find community.
