Growing Local Joy

Meet Lisa!

I’m Lisa Williams and flowers make me happy. I’ve loved them for as long as I can remember. From poppies and bachelor's buttons in my Grandma’s garden on Wisecup Hill to wildflowers growing along the roads in southern Ohio, I’ve marked the passing of seasons by noticing what’s blooming around me. Now, after 37 years of teaching, I’m entering a new season of life, growing specialty cut flowers in the field next to the house where I grew up. It feels good to be outside and spending time in my hometown. I’m looking forward to sharing my joy, and the beauty of flowers, with you.

What’s so special?

Most of the flowers you find in big-box stores are grown in the southern hemisphere. They travel hundreds of miles, are sometimes “woken up” with chemical agents, and stored for days before even making it to a bouquet. This can result in bouquets that look tired and have lost their natural, floral scent.

I grow all of the flowers for Buckskin Valley Blossoms myself in South Salem, Ohio, using organic practices. As a result, the flowers showing up in my bouquets change throughout the growing season. My bouquets are crafted, carefully stored, and placed in the farm stand within 24 hours of harvest. This means my flowers will last longer in your home, smell fresh, and will only have traveled as far as you take them.

I care a lot about the health of the soil that nurtures my flowers and the economy that nurtures my community.
