Barbara is fun, down to earth, and incredibly talented. I had absolutely no idea what I wanted, except for not white roses. Barbara was so patient with us, inviting us out to her beautiful farm, showing us countless photos so we could identify what we did and didn't like, adn ultimately gave her free rein to make us something spectacular, and she delivered! -

Barbara is the best! She really understood in such a short period of time which color scheme worked best and found the best arrangements to accompany it. Being able to go to her flower farm and see how she grows them was very special. Would recommend it 10/10! -

Erin N. Married on 09/03/2022Beautiful, Perfect Floral Arrangements
Barbara created the perfect floral arrangements for our September wedding and I highly recommend her work! We were able to visit her flower farm in Delaplane where she grows so many of the actual flowers used in her arrangements, which I thought was really unique and special (and as a fun bonus, we loved meeting her sweet dogs!). She took the time to really get to know us and our general preferences. We aren't particularly knowledgeable about floral details, so we came in with some photos of our overall vision and then deferred to her expert background to get creative. Not only is she incredibly down-to-earth, but she's so, so talented. When I walked into the venue before the guests arrived, I was blown away at how beautiful the flowers were. It was wonderful working with Barbara and we got so many compliments on the flowers - they were truly perfect. I highly recommend you work with Barbara for any of your floral arrangement needs!-

We highly recommend Barabara of Growing Wild. She was even the florist for our blizzard wedding and the bride's flowers were still stunning. We are always thrilled when we know it's her work will be shooting. She is creative and amazing to work with!
Growing Wild time and time again comes in at budget and provides a gorgeous product. My clients are always thrilled with the bouquets and arrangements. Growing Wild is always on time at the beginning and end of the event. Responses via email are always timely, and appointments are easy to make. But ultimately it comes down to the floral design. The array of props is wide, and the quality of the floral is just stunning. You can't go wrong when you hire Growing Wild.
Barbara's flowers are always amazing and our clients really enjoy working with her. We look forward to any event that employs her floral decor.
