The farmer

If someone told me I would be a flower farmer someday, I would tell them they were crazy! I am Lindsay, owner and farmer extraordinaire here at Garington.

Life has been full of moves and pivots. My husband’s former military career kept us on the move across the country for several years. As a result, I have worn many hats and had many careers. The abbreviated version is that I was an interior designer turned life science teacher. Flower farming came into the picture once we moved back to our native state of Texas and purchased a house on 30 acres of land. When we were deciding what this land could be and realizing the potential it has, I had the idea of growing massive amounts of flowers. I enrolled in the Floret Flower Farming Workshop and got to growing! Growing and selling flowers is currently a part-time gig. I work full time as an educator for the county.

I loved the idea of providing the small communities of Northeast Texas with farm fresh flowers grown right here in the great state of Texas. They make me happy, so I know they’ll make you happy! And honestly, I am getting to use my creative interior design side along with my science background all in one job. I would say that’s a win for sure. My goal is to grow flower varieties that make sense and thrive in our climate and growing zone as naturally and organically as possible.

I look forward to meeting you and making our flowers a part of your story, no matter how big or small.
