Flowers=Joy

Some of my earliest memories include weeding the flowerbeds with my mom. She would tirelessly point out what was a flower and what was actually a weed. I am sure I pulled just as many flowers as weeds… Now having my own children, I truly understand how much of an undertaking that was.

All the tasks (well almost all of them) that come with gardening have always brought me so much peace. So when my mom passed away I wasn’t surprised when one of the few times I felt like myself in those early days of grief was when I was working in my garden. I always knew that flowers had the power to truly help people, but it was during that period that I saw how much joy they could actually bring.

I decided that the world needs more JOY. And that sharing my flowers with my community was the next step. And that’s how Lish’s Flower Stand was started.
