our core values
What we grow and design is guided by more than aesthetics. Our work is rooted in a set of values that shape every stem we harvest, every arrangement we create, and every interaction we share.
These values keep us grounded in purpose and connected to the community we serve.
Whether you’re attending a workshop or you’re entrusting us with your wedding flowers, you should know what we’re about here at Nowadays!
Connection to Nature
Our flowers are grown with care, in rhythm with the seasons. Working with the land keeps us grounded and reminds us that beauty is cyclical, fleeting, and worth noticing. We hope our flowers invite others to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the natural world.
Community & Belonging
Flowers are a language of care. From weddings and gatherings to pop-ups and workshops, we strive to create spaces where people feel welcomed, seen, and connected. Our work is rooted in nurturing relationships, with our team, our clients, and our broader community.
Hospitality at Heart
We approach floral design as an act of hospitality. Whether designing a wedding or leading a workshop, we aim to create an experience that feels warm, thoughtful, and generous. We believe people remember how they felt, and we want them to feel cared for.
Sustainability & Stewardship
We are committed to responsible growing practices and mindful design. By prioritizing locally-grown, seasonal flowers, reducing waste at the farm and in the design studio, and working with nature rather than against it, we strive to care for the land that sustains us and the environment we share.
Beauty as a Path to Wellbeing
We believe beauty is not frivolous, it’s restorative. Flowers have a quiet way of helping people slow down, soften and return to themselves. Through our therapeutic horticulture offerings and community programs, we create opportunities for people to experience the emotional and mental health benefits of working with plants.
Creativity & Curiosity
We remain students of the garden and the creative process. We embrace experimentation, seasonal inspiration, and artistic exploration, allowing each design to reflect the moment, the season, and the story it’s created to honor.
