Finally getting around to posting an adventure we went on a few weeks ago. After finishing a wedding venue tour in Lake Wales, JP and I finally crossed frolicking Bok Tower Gardens off our bucket list.

The gardens were absolutely stunning and the paths sprawled all throughout the property. To see every inch of it I would highly recommended any plant/ nature lovers to block off a whole day (5-7hrs) to wander all the different sections and truly take some time to smell the roses.

While there are plenty of beautiful plants to awe over I think the main appeal of this botanical garden is its strolling paths and beautiful architecture. The tower itself is breathtaking in person. There are so many small details on and around it that make it so worth seeing in person.

I think the only thing we would do different in the future would be to have planned a slower day. In a rush to see it all, I kinda feel like I missed out on the true appeal and that’s to find a shaded spot and take in the beauty all around. I want to go back and have a picnic and live paint.

For my birthday JP gifted us a membership to the American Horticultural Society American Horticultural Society | American Gardener Magazine . It grants us access to hundreds of Botanical Gardens across North America, including Bok Tower Gardens. I definitely plan on going back and taking it in the way it was mean to be, slowly and with patience. (Also when it’s not 95° out 🙃)

I would love to hear about anyone else experience here or about any of your other favorite botanical gardens and recommendations. While I know we won’t be able to see it all in this year I definitely want to see everything Florida has to offer….

Today is my Birthday!!! I can’t even begin to explain how grateful I am for the love I’ve been showed today and for the amazing people I get to call my friends and family. From getting to catch up over martinis to an upcoming beach day, I truly feel so spoiled and lucky to have the life I do and for the people I’m surrounded by.

As I officially start the back end of my twenties all I can say is that I’m so very proud of the person I’ve grown into and the woman I wake up everyday and try to be. This is a sentiment that hasn’t come easy. If anything it’s a fairly new development. Even just a few years ago I couldn’t even begin to imagine having the pride in myself that I do. There were many points during and post college into adulthood that I truly just felt lost. I couldn’t imagine that the future could hold so much potential, adventure, and love. And while I can chalk so many of my blessing up to just being lucky, I know so many of my accomplishments and joy come from waking up everyday and just trying to do better and be better.

I’m thankful for my momma for instilling a fire in me to wake up everyday, be productive, and just try. I’m thankful to have friends who have do nothing but champion me on, even in the lowest seasons, and ofc to have already found my soul mate who doesn’t nothing but fill my cup and shower me in love.

I crossed so many milestones from art classes to vending to getting engaged in chapter 25, I truly cannot wait to see what 26 has in store.

Sincerely, your local garden faerie

To the person who deserves the biggest thank you for helping me chase my dreams this weekend.

Thank you JP for every late night sitting me with while i painted, for every decor order and art supply run went on with me.

Thank you for supporting my wild dream to go back to college for art and for pushing me to take a risk I could have never dreamed of.

Thank you for listening to me explain the difference between the 15 philodendron I bought and still giving me the green light to go get more.

Thank you for believing in me even when I didn’t and above all.. thank you for loving me the way you do and for being my best friend.

I couldn’t have done it without you and I will be forever grateful for the man you are. No one else I wanna conquer the world with other than you baby 💕

My biggest regret from Southeast Plant Show LLC 2026 was not taking more pictures with all the amazing people I got to see this past weekend. I truly feel like the luckiest girl in the world for the amount of love, support, and encouragement I was met with this show.

I’m so thankful for Not Your Average Sansevieria and The Happy Craftery for being the best booth buddies and family ever. They really are the best and such an example of how awesome women in our space are, especially when we put our minds to it. (@ Leslie you better watch out… imma get that should lean in next time 👀🐍💚)

Never in a million years could I have imagined getting to cross something like selling my art off my bucket list, nor could I have imagined the overwhelming support I was showered with.

I brought 71 piece of art with me to the Southeast Plant Show and am so grateful to say I only brought back 8 of those pieces. While there I got to live paint and sell two pieces I was working on. My first two commissions and I am so incredibly thankful for the lovely ladies who trust in my vision and gave me the chance to make something special for them.

There is something very vulnerable about sharing something you’ve created and poured hours of love and passion into. It’s like being naked in front of everyone. The love of our community and the SPS family put to rest any doubts I had about my capabilities and I will forever be thankful.

I cannot wait to spend the next year getting ever better at my craft, involved in my community and creating an exhibit even bigger than this years. This was just dipping a toe in the water and now I cannot wait to dive in head first.

Thank you to everyone who helped champion my dream this weekend, you know who you are and I will be forever thankful for you. ❤️

Till next year Southeast Plant Show LLC … cause trust, we will be back!! ❤️🥰💋
