Trish | Owner & Founder
I'm Trish and the founder of Flourish. From my earliest memories I have always been happiest being outside in nature. In 2001 Flourish was born (under the name "Trisha's Flowers") as a small cut-your-own flower garden and life has never been the same! I love to dream up new ways of bringing beauty to the world and getting to do that through Flourish is truly fulfilling to me.
My duties include overseeing the general direction of Flourish, ordering, meeting with brides, teaching classes, organizing events here at Flourish and helping with the day-to-day activities as needed. I have also loved working on my first book, "Backyard Cutting Garden" (being released Jan 2026!) and have even more ideas for future projects!
When I'm not working, I love to hike, read (historical fiction or true stories of people), travel (Italy and Vermont are some favorites!), run, hanging with friends and lately I've been taking a drawing class. My husband Bob and I are empty nesters. We have four adult children that are spread near and far, and my parents live in our basement apartment.
Life is full and I am so blessed to do what I do. So thankful to Jesus, who is my constant friend and guide.
Donna | Floral Designer & Class Instructor
I’ve had the privilege of working for Trish and Flourish for over 15 years. I love designing with flowers and teaching classes. And I love my co-workers - they’re the best!
On the homefront, you will find me teaching private art lessons, walking, reading, watching good movies, and ministering with my husband in church or those in our home group. My takeaway from life is God is faithful and he will see us through every situation if we let him.
Ruth | Head Gardener & Floral Designer
At Flourish, I oversee and care for the flower garden, create floral arrangements, deliver orders, and help set up wedding flowers at venues.
I enjoy working at Flourish because of how much life the team brings me! Also, getting to care for flowers is a true privilege - their beauty has/will continue to change my life.
My family is number one in my life, so any chance I get to be around them is time well spent. I also love to spend my time cooking, reading, and camping!
Bethany | Wedding Event Manager & Floral Designer
At Flourish, I handle the wedding side of things. I do a lot of consultations/talking with the brides, estimates, designing florals, etc. I help in the shop by taking orders and making arrangements and out in the garden when I can! Apart from florals, I also do office work like emails, reconciles and payroll. I enjoy seeing all the people who come through - brides and regular customers, the flourish team, and of course flowers!
I love Jesus and I hope that every day he is more and more the reason why I do what I do. I love being an aunt and spending time with family and friends. I also love traveling, if I’m out of the area I’m most likely somewhere with mountains or in Africa :) - Africa and its people especially have my heart and have played a huge role in my life. I’m grateful for Flourish and the freedom to go do missions during our slow
winters.
Karissa | Digital Content Designer
I have the privilege of supporting Flourish behind the scenes by managing the social media and website, creating monthly newsletters, and designing advertisements and flyers for classes and events. I love being able to use my creativity in my work for Flourish, Trish always has great ideas, and I love getting to bring them to life! I was drawn to Flourish because of their Christian values and desire to create beauty with God’s creation.
Some of my hobbies include walking with my husband, gardening, making bouquets with my home-grown flowers, spending time with the Lord, reading (any Francine Rivers book), and coloring - anything creative is right up my alley! Some things on my bucket list include visiting all the US national parks, travel Europe & make fresh pasta in Italy, and eat at a Michelin Star restaurant.
