🏵️ Meet Alaina Hower, the instructor for our upcoming S.T.E.A.M. Workshop: Flower Arranging & Design! 🏵️

Alaina Hower is a cherished local icon, beloved for much more than her florals. As a dear friend of The Hub, we would best describe her as whimsical, devoted, and generous. These qualities shine through in both her personality and her work, making her a treasured member of the community.

Her floral journey began humbly with planting flower beds in downtown Lewisburg. This passion for beautifying her surroundings began laying the path for Hower's future endeavors. However, it was the pivotal moment when a friend asked her to provide flowers for her wedding that truly kicked off this journey! Alaina accepted the challenge, and from this opportunity, True Heart Flower Farm was born, and our community has been grateful ever since. Today, Alaina is renowned for her unique and fashionable floral arrangements. Each bouquet is a reminder of her creativity and dedication, crafted from homegrown flowers that she plants by hand as seeds. Alaina’s work is recognized not only by the beauty of the flowers themselves but also by her thoughtful incorporation of native flora and fauna, tying her work back to her West Virginia roots. 🩷

If you are interested in booking Alaina for an event or ordering from her, you can contact her via email: [email protected]

If you have a young person who is interested in participating in Alaina’s upcoming S.T.E.A.M. Workshop, you can register for that through this link: https://form.jotform.com/241023259984157

Limited spots are available, so don't wait around!

In my line of work I create floral arrangements for people from all walks of life, for a variety of occasions, both happy and sad. From children's graduations, birthdays, mother's days, Christmases, weddings, memorials, celebrations of life, funerals and everything in between. Evva Gilkeson ordered flowers for ALL of those reasons. She regularly ordered arrangements to give away to her Mom, display in her shop, and treat her friends. She ordered multiple wreaths every year and always sang my praises in person and on social media. She always tipped me way too much and she was an incredible force of light, laughter, positivity and change in our community. She was eclectic and unique and her shop and home reflected her personality and style. As my career has evolved, I often find myself tasked with making arrangements for the funeral, memorial and celebration of life services of people I loved so much during their time here with us on this plane. This occasion is no different. I loved Evva and it will be my honor and pleasure to make a few more bouquets for her. If you feel inclined or are financially able to donate towards floral arrangements for Evva's Celebration of Life on Sunday, June 2 at The Queen's Ink, please Venmo and include in the memo and I will include your name on a card. All extra donations beyond the cost of flowers will be donated to Evva's sons. I don't keep any "pay" for events like these, I buy flowers, and make arrangements with love in my heart for the person no longer with us. Our hearts are so broken in this time, but Evva would want us to go on being our bold, unique selves til our very last days. If you can't donate at this time, get more tattoos in your future! If you don't have venmo but still want to donate, please PM me and I'll be happy to arrange an alternative way to include your generosity. To The Queen, Evva, we love and miss you, but you literally made your mark on so many of us, and we will never, ever forget you. ❤️ Please share this post, comment and tag with your people that were also her people. 🖤

I absolutely love the wreath I crafted for our home this year. The list of things adorning it is long, but there's a story or a memory attached to each dried flower, pepper, feather and acorn cap. I'm so grateful for each of you. Your support through wreath, holiday, growing and wedding season is truly what keeps me creating, and I'm already preparing for more blooms and beauty in the future.

I wish you all a safe, warm & comfortable holiday season and a prosperous New Year! 🌟❤️💐🎄

12/12/2023

This is so fun every year! I've started running out of creative steam after harvesting, clamping and decorating dozens of wreaths, often cold, fingers stabbed by cedar, or burnt by hot glue. Having a warm gathering of people decorating their own wreaths in their own unique styles is always so refreshing to me! Thank you all for attending and helping to keep my love of decorating with nature alive for another season!
Happy Holidays to all! 🎄🌟❤️

12/07/2023

A beautiful elopement bouquet I made last week! All local blooms, every single stem. 🙌❤️💐

09/06/2023

Autumn vibes in these two bouquets. Every stem fresh picked this morning straight out of the flower garden in our backyard. ❤️💐

08/23/2023

I lost my groove when we unexpectedly moved in April of last year, but I'm getting it back a little at a time this season. I've got plants in the ground and I'm growing a small amount of gorgeous flowers. Looking forward to using lots of these dried beauties on my evergreen wreaths in just a couple months!

08/11/2023

This was so fun! I love sharing my love of nature and all things floral with people of all ages! Thanks to The Hub for helping to facilitate such a lovely workshop series, Floral Ridge Farm for some extra fresh beautiful blooms and Logan Hill Flower Farm for some wonderful dried flowers we used in our ornament making. Small businesses supporting other small businesses is the best way to make the world go round! ❤️💐

07/21/2023

Some personal photos of florals I created in Northeastern Pennsylvania last weekend for one of my dearest friends. The Everlasting dried flower corsages were my favorite part and you will definitely see me making more of these in the future! Fresh Lavender & Eucalyptus bundles were added to each table the morning of this wedding. The 9 hour drive up was quite long but very aromatherapeutic! 💙💐

06/09/2023

Mixed table arrangements for Stardust Cafe 💐 with naturally occurring rainbow on rose petal 😍
I like to use a variety of floral elements, a classic rose is complemented by local daisies, grasses, Ferns and Nigella. Happy Friday! 🌈

06/05/2023

Almost 6 months in between these photos. This wreath has been on our dry, covered front porch since mid December 2022. It's still there aging beautifully until I will replace it with our holiday wreath for 2023. This is why you should buy your wreaths from me. Happy Monday! 💚

06/01/2023

It was fun & rewarding for me to create a logo for the ever expanding offerings of my small business! Excited to lead a couple of free workshops later this Summer for area youth and the flowers are growing out in the greenhouse! As always, please message with any questions, or to reserve a date for your next wedding or event! Word of mouth is the best advertising and I always appreciate a share! ❤️💐

05/27/2023

Beautiful elopement bouquet with (not pictured) matching flower crown and boutonniere I made yesterday. The peonies are still poppin' and I aim to enjoy every single one. I still have a few openings available this season for weddings & events, please reach out for more details and reserve your date today!
