About Barn Yard Posies
Property History
The land where we built our house more than 20 years ago used to house my Dad’s barn. It was just up the road from my childhood farmhouse.
Barn Yard Poses revolves around my Dad and Mom, who have both passed away, but were the best examples ever! They taught us how to care, share and help out. They raised 8 kids while working hard in the farm fields and garden. We may not have been rich, but our lives were rich and we had all we needed because of our loving parents.
After my Mom passed away a few years ago, I had the idea to grow a cut flower field because my Mom (and me!) loved flowers and she had many in the garden and around the farm. She often referred to them as “posies”.
My barn shop, where I create bouquets, is another remembrance of Dad and Mom as the walls are the barn siding of our family farm's barn that was torn down. My table is an old butcher table of my Dad’s and the sink is their old washer.
All those wonderful memories inspired the name Barn Yard Posies.
A Little About Me
Hi! I’m the gardener/florist behind Barn Yard Posies! Barn Yard Posies was started in 2022 when we acquired a couple more acres of land around our home after Mom's passing. She and I shared a love of flowers, so to honor her and my late Dad, I created Barn Yard Posies!
I have blessed to be a stay at home Mom since adult son was a year old! I’ve definitely stayed busy during that time, but a couple years ago I had an idea to turn my love for flowers into a business!
I’ve added a few new flower varieties each year and more in quantity as well! I enjoy arranging bouquets for people and spreading joy! I have also been fortunate enough to have a few local businesses carry my bouquets for sale.
The Silo
We assembled an old grain bin last year (2023) and I hosted my first Fall Open House. I sold dried arrangements, wreaths, and pressed flower pictures that I created -- all from my homegrown flowers. I am excited to host other events in my silo this year! It is a fun, unique place to showcase my flowers, right beside the garden! We recently added a unique metal sculpture to the property as well!
