Welcome to Wild Goose Flower Farm

We all have our stories - ours just happens to include flowers. It began with a food forest in my suburban backyard and has grown into a simple hope: to create an oasis of peace for our community to step out of the chaos of daily life, walk into the sunshine, and reconnect with nature and themselves in the blooms.

Wild Goose Flower Farm isn't just about the flowers. It's about the spirit of taking time to stop and smell the roses. It means peace. It means creativity. It means community. It's an opportunity to slow down, balance your breath, and choose your beauty.

It's about picking peace.

Our Story

So, hello. I'm Alexis, and Wild Goose Flower Farm was my dream. Nestled just outside of Charleston, SC (Zone 8b), our farm began with a love of nature and dream to invite others into a retreat. As a family, we wanted to create a space where both locals and visitors could experience the joy of luxury flowers in a You Pick setting. Along the way, it's become a place we raise our children, grow in the best restorative practices we can manage, and share the healing power of the beauty of flowers with all who step into our fields.

Each stem carries a piece of our story: resilience along with the tears, joy covered in laughter, and a deep belief that flowers can bring peace to any situation.

Why Follow Along

I'm a big ole' science nerd and enjoy educating others. You can look forward to plenty of soil and gardening insights as I discuss pH levels, how to balance your fertilizer needs, and even the hormonal reactions triggered when your brain encounters flowers. I hope you'll discover something valuable for your gardening practices or find helpful tips for creative projects involving flowers. I assure you that I'll strive to be genuine—these posts are crafted by me, not AI, so enjoy all the quirky charm that comes from a truly passionate farm lady.

(Clarification: I do use AI to help with some of my awkward phrasings or when I run out of words/forget the words - mom of 3 over here. I've been sleep deprived for the last 10 years. It's starting to show.)
