The end of a season for Clover Valley 🌿
This is a post I never really wanted to write, but one that I feel is important to share honestly.
After a lot of thought, numbers, conversations and more than a little heartache, I’ve made the decision to close the Clover Valley Garden & Design storefront.
When I opened the studio, I truly believed in what this little space could become.
I pictured flowers filling the cooler, people stopping in for a beautiful bouquet, workshops around the table, kids creating something beautiful, seasonal events and Clover Valley becoming a little part of our community.
And for a while, it really did feel like that.
But the reality is that keeping a physical storefront open comes with a lot of expenses, and unfortunately, there simply hasn’t been enough consistent movement to make the storefront model financially sustainable.
That part is hard to admit.
But I also don’t believe in forcing something simply because I’ve already invested my time, money and heart into it. Sometimes, it takes taking the chance and learning that it is ok to let go.
So instead of continuing to pour everything into a storefront, I’m choosing to listen to what I’ve learned and take Clover Valley in a direction that feels much more natural.
We’re becoming much more workshop and experience focused. 🌿
The part of this business that I’ve loved the most has been bringing people together around flowers.
Teaching. Creating. Laughing. Learning something new. Sitting around a table with beautiful flowers everywhere and watching people leave with something they made themselves.
That’s where I want to put my energy.
Going forward, Clover Valley will focus primarily on:
🌿 Floral workshops & classes
🌿 Seasonal creative events
🌿 Private workshops & group experiences
🌿 Floral gatherings with friends
🌿 Collaborations with local businesses
🌿 Seasonal & holiday floral experiences
🌿 Weddings & select floral design work
Rather than regular storefront hours, subscriptions and trying to maintain a full-time retail space, Clover Valley is going to become something a little more intentional.
Something you come to experience.
And I’m really excited about that.
There will still be flowers.
There will still be beautiful arrangements.
There will still be seasonal offerings.
But instead of waiting for you to walk through a storefront door, I want to bring Clover Valley to you.
Into local venues.
Around tables with friends.
Into celebrations.
Into workshops.
Into those little seasonal moments that make life feel special.
To everyone who has supported the storefront — whether you came in for flowers, attended a workshop, purchased something, shared a post, told a friend about Clover Valley or simply encouraged me — thank you. ❤️
You may not realize how much those little things meant to me.
Starting something from the ground up is scary. Closing one chapter of it is even harder.
But I don’t see this as failure.
I see it as listening.
Listening to the numbers.
Listening to the community.
And listening to what Clover Valley actually needs to become something that can last.
So, with heavy but a very full heart, I’m closing the doors to the storefront — but I am absolutely not closing the doors on Clover Valley.
In fact, I think this is the beginning of something that fits us even better.
The storefront may be closing, but the flowers are still blooming. 🌿
Here’s to the next season of Clover Valley.
I can’t wait to show you what’s next. ❤️
