Meet the Grower
Hi, I'm Stephanie. I’m a long-time Seattle resident who grows an aggressive amount of flowers in my tiny West Seattle yard. I am raising two small humans while working as a full-time detective specializing in child abuse cases. I use flowers, and West Seattle Flower Farm, as a way to counterbalance the stress of my life and reconnect with beauty, hope, and community.
I grow seasonal cut flowers, specializing in spring and fall seasons, and encourage others to grow flowers of their own — regardless of space and inexperience.
Where I Grow: An Urban Micro-Farm
I don’t have sprawling fields of blooms like one imagines when they think of a traditional flower farm; I grow in a patchwork of raised beds right here in the middle of West Seattle.
The Beginning: It started with three raised beds in my backyard. Things escalated quickly.
The Expansion: I added more beds in my backyard and then more on the side of my house. From there, I built five more raised beds so close together that I need to side shimmy to get between them.
My second “flower farm”: My grow space now expands to my aunt and uncle’s property a few miles away with several more raised beds.
Now: I now grow thousands of flowers a year in just over 500 square feet of raised beds.

Dahlia Tubers + Cuttings
Every spring, I sell dahlia tubers and cuttings that produce incredible cut flowers and grow reliably year after year. West Seattle always gets first access, because local first.
Fall-Planted Seedling, Bulbs and Ranunculus Corms
Every fall, I sell tulip and daffodil bulbs, ranunculus and anemone corms, and bareroot peonies. Flower-farmer quality bulbs, roots and corms that produce flowers so beautiful, they’ll have your garden looking like Taylor Swift’s engagement photos.
Fresh, Local, and Florist-Quality Flowers:
My flowers are usually harvested less than 24 hours before pickup. Sometimes even less than 12 hours. (If you see me in my yard at 5 am in my fuzzy pink bathrobe, just mind your business.)
I grow flowers the way I’d want them grown if I were buying them—not covered in hard-to-pronounce chemicals or anything else I wouldn’t want to touch or have in my own home.
I handle every flower like it matters, because it does. Proper cutting techniques, clean water, the right conditioning temperature—all the unglamorous stuff that means your bouquet lasts a week instead of three sad days.
Buying a bouquet from West Seattle Flower Farm instead of a bouquet from Trader Joe’s is like eating fresh sushi instead of day-old sushi from a gas station. Both are technically sushi. But one might fill you with regret.
