When I recently spoke to the Sun City Bon Appétit Club, it felt especially meaningful. This group celebrates food, flavor, and gathering — values that are just as important at Helena Hills Farm as the flowers themselves. The edible flower journey began with a simple question during a speaking engagement at the Culinary Institute of the Lowcountry: “Do you grow edible flowers?” At the time, I didn’t. But that question planted another seed. If we are already feeding guests at w

Heaven gained the sweetest little angel in early December. Our Lily girl passed peacefully, closing a long, beautiful, love-filled chapter of our lives. While our hearts are tender, they are also full — because Lily lived an extraordinary life, surrounded by people who adored her every step of the way. In many ways, Lily was the original Helena Hills Farm dog — even before the farm had a name, fences, or flower rows. She was there for the dreaming, the moving, the becoming. F

Today isn’t just another day on the farm—it’s the birthday of the person who has quietly, consistently, and wholeheartedly helped make this dream possible: my brother, Matt. Every farm has its unsung hero. Mine just happens to be my brother. I want to shine a little light on the man who’s helped build this place from the ground up—literally.

After touring the farm and hearing my story, a lovely guest at one of our fall workshops recently asked me a question that stopped me in my tracks: “What’s it like living out your dream?” In the moment, I paused—because no one had ever asked me that before. And since that day, I find myself returning to that question often. I think about it when I’m overwhelmed by my endless to-do list… When seedlings struggle because I didn’t get to them fast enough… When everything feels li

This week, I had the honor of speaking to the Sun City Avant Gardeners Club — a full-circle moment that reminded me just how deeply connected Helena Hills Farm is to the Sun City community. Before it ever became a flower farm, this dream was planted right here. I lived in Sun City with my mom while searching for direction, and it was the encouragement from this community — the friendships, the gardening conversations, the laughter — that gave me the confidence to turn a seed
