Our Story
Rooted in family. Growing forward.
Bringing back your grandma's flowers.
Matthews Flower Farm sits on generational land first tended by my great-grandparents in 1918. For years the fields rested quietly, and later the farmhouse watched over unkempt rows and wild vines.
A Legacy That Still Blooms
Long before Matthews Flower Farm, there was Matthews Iris Garden.
My Uncle Charlie was the one who planted the first seeds of this story. With a love for flowers and a passion for sharing them with others, he turned this family farm into a place known for beautiful irises. Visitors came for the blooms, but they stayed for Charlie—the man who never met a stranger, always had a story to tell, and could turn a simple conversation into a laugh with his quick wit and clever rhymes.
Matthews Iris Garden was more than a garden. It was a gathering place, a reflection of Charlie's generosity, and a reminder that flowers have a way of bringing people together.
In 2021, we began restoring the land—clearing, planting, rebuilding, and dreaming again. It wasn't just about growing flowers. It was about bringing back your grandma's flowers—the kind that remind us of simpler times and sunlit days. It was about honoring the generations before us, including the legacy Uncle Charlie began, and creating a place our own children can carry forward with pride.

Today, Matthews Flower Farm is a place of beauty, gathering, and simple joy. The fields are planted with intention, the farmhouse stands with its original character, and each season brings something new to discover.
We’ve watched families wander through the blooms, children run between rows, and moments be captured that will hang in homes for years to come. There is something special about slowing down here — about stepping onto land that has been loved for generations.
More than anything, this farm is about connection. To the past. To each other. And to the simple beauty that flowers bring into our lives.
