REFLECTIONS ON BALANCE | š¤
This spring has been a wild ride to say the least, and over the past month Iāve found myself amidst my two worlds colliding. Itās not often that my day job and the flower farm merge together in any capacity, let alone anything even landscape related on my projects I work on.
A few years ago, in my day job I got to learn a bit about SITES certification and work on a cool project at the Detroit Zoo. I realized there that my love of design/building and landscapes can overlap, if pursued persistently.
Fast forward to this week and my first couple of days working my new job where I get to help design interiors and learn more about exteriors, pools, and help execute some really cool projects!

Weāre moving with great intention this year, with every move being arguably too over calculated; I think thatās great this time around though. Opposed to chasing all of the income streams (markets, subscriptions, farmers market, weddings, etc) weāre going to continue to do what weāre good at: put flowers into the hands of those who need them, sharing nature and hands-on experiences with kids and adults alike (including Bloomhaven rentals for photography šø), and serving our growing list of amazing brides! Iām thankful we made the decisions we did about our business for 2025 because theyāre making space for both creative ventures with MFC but for my career growth as well! Itās all about balance, right? āØ
The coolest part about owning a business is that no day is the same and itās ever evolving to serve both us and our customers in the best capacity we can. Instead of burning the candle at both ends this year, Iāve been leaning into what I know and do well - both here and at work.
Business ownership looks different for us all - even those of us in the same industry! And that being said, if youāve had an idea brewing maybe you should just do it? Because worst case, Plan A doesnāt work exactly how you think, but maybe Plan B or C is just what you need! And on our āofficialā year three, weāre definitely onto something with the magic recipe for balancing what works for us here. š«¶
