My goodness….
So much has happened since September 26th when the flooding began and life in these mountains changed. It’s impossible to remember it all- each moment was so jam packed. Perhaps I will share more about the early days after Helene another time.

Today, I’m sharing a little glimmer created by our community. reached out to me as a friend and fellow creative about an idea she and neighbor had about creating an arbor to symbolize a place of remembrance and community in the spot where so many came to find connection to loved ones and outside world. With the reception so spotty no one knew the extent of damage in these sacred mountains and to our community and neighboring mountain towns.

For years I’ve dreamt of making moon gates of branches through out our forests at the Flora farmerty. It became clear that I wanted to create a moongate structure of fallen branches. They say we’ve lost 40% of our trees. 💔 We can feel the devastation in our bones. It’s everywhere!

It was an honor to be part of this project with the community that has long supported our little shop- so many faces I recognized. Listening to our neighbors remember their experiences in that spot, I felt connected. Personally, I’ve been traveling and working with other florists to cover rent and over head; I’ve been separated from family, friends and our community. This project filled my cup. I am so proud of the people in these beautiful mountains and grateful to call this place home.

We are okay. Our property has damage but we have faired better than so many. Our bridge, road and old dam house were destroyed by Helene. Loads of trees down thankfully with no significant damage to our home, barn and greenhouse. We are lucky and grateful. We are especially grateful to the folks in our little holler who have come together to support one another.

Mother Nature is demanding we listen. We have to do better. This storm is inspiring flora and our family to continue moving more and more towards sustainability. Towards making better choices that will serve our children and our children’s children better.

We will be bringing water from our well to our brick and mortar shop on the regular so if folks need to fill up jugs and such we will have some water available. We’ve been making bouquets free to take. If you know someone who is struggling and could use a little something to brighten up their day there might be a few available near our door.

Take care of each other and be well

Xoxo
Flora & Thomas family

Our plant of the week this week is the Paraíso Verde Philodendron! It is also known as “Marina Ruy Barbosa” and is a rare variety of Philodendron. While it has the ability to adapt to different humidity levels, it thrives in moderate to high humidity levels and prefers to stay slightly moist. It best grows in medium to bright indirect light or filtered sunlight, so an east facing window will help it thrive! Keep up with our stories this week to learn some more care tips on this beautiful plant!
