About

I grew up between Seneca and Cayuga lakes, spending my childhood playing by the lilacs and admiring my neighbor's flower-filled yard. I discovered my love for growing flowers while working at a plant nursery in Mecklenburg during college breaks.

While living in Portland, Oregon (the "City of Roses"), I learned how to grow a three-season garden and fell in love with growing roses - my gateway flower. In my early 40s, I developed a chronic vestibular (balance) disorder, which really showed me the healing power of flowers and helped me find more joy in them.

When the pandemic brought me back home to the Finger Lakes, I started my flower farm. For over 20 years, I taught English, including at Trumansburg middle and high schools, while honing my flower-growing skills during summer breaks.

Now, I'm grateful to be growing flowers nearly year-round and sharing all this beauty and joy with my Finger Lakes community. I know what it's like to feel the pull toward wanting more flowers and joy in your life. I'd love to help you get there.

Danny grew up in the Hudson Valley with a deep love for wild places and natural beauty. His background in wilderness studies shapes his commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability - values that run through everything we do at the farm.

As a skilled woodworker and carpenter, Danny builds much of the infrastructure that keeps Jenny Creek Flowers running smoothly. When he's not here, you'll find him crafting custom pieces through his business, Palmer Woodcraft.

We're a family flower farm, and we couldn't grow beautiful flowers without the hands-on support of our family - including Brooke's mom, aunt, and our teenage son.
